Glassy Day

Fishing was fairly good today, and the weather was even better!

When we left the dock this morning, it felt more like November than August. Who's complaining after a couple of weeks ago, I'll take all the cool weather I can get. Anyway, the ocean was flat this morning, and as the day wore on, it got downright glassy. We started on a grass line in 35 fathoms, and found a school of nice bailers immediately. We caught twenty or so before they got finicky and left. As I looked up and down the beach, all I could see was boats in either direction, so after catching another half dozen or so, I headed for the deep, in hopes of finding more grass/dolphins, or maybe having a marlin bite. I made it out over 400 fathoms before giving up, and trolling back inshore. I did find a float with a handful of dolphin around it, we caught two, but they didn't really want to bite too well either. After I got back in to the grass line, I saw several bunches of dolphin swimming along, looking kinda shellshocked, like fifty boats had already been over them. We did catch a 30 pound wahoo in the afternoon, but as far as I know it was our only wahoo bite.
