Dolphin fishing was off the hook today, and another good sign of bills too.

We set out on a patch of grass with a nice school of big bailers. After fifteen or so, Ben pitched a bait to the biggest dolphin we've caught this year. After the hookup, on a TLD, he jumped over two patches of grass, fifteen feet wide, and proceeded to tow half of the grass line with him. Ben managed to get most of the grass off the line, and things were under control, until a 20 pounder swam up with the one on the line. We picked him off, and the had two to deal with, and they wanted to stay close together. Well, that wasn't so bad until the squall came. It was pouring down rain, and blowing 20, just to make things challenging. We got the smaller one, and after a 48 minute fight, landed the big one, a 54 pounder. After that, the line we started fishing on was wrapped up with boats, so I went to the deep to look around. We caught a couple more gaffers, and missed a white marlin, but things were really a little slow. My party wanted more dolphin, so I went inshore to see what I could find. We found the mother load of bailers, and limited out. Of course, once I got back inshore, the marlins started biting, offshore, and to the south, but my crowd was happy, and we had a great day.<sc
