3/2/10- Citation Wahoo and some Tuna
We had a great trip on Friday. The seas were flat calm and the fish were biting. We started out doing some deep jigging for Cobia, Blackfin Tuna, and Amberjacks. We quickly got into some action by catching two pretty Blackfin from 10-15 lbs, good eating for the grill. We then found the Amberjacks and quickly tired ourselves out fighting these beasts, only to watch them get eaten by a couple of 8-9 ft sharks. We picked up and moved a few miles away to find the ocean full of life. There were multiple boats hooked up catching nice citation cobia, but not the first person was trolling. We quickly saw a nice Wahoo sky and put our lines in. We immediately had a mono rig chomped off and caught a nice little Wahoo for the grill. We set back out with all wire and over the next few hours proceeded to slam some nice wahoos, including a nice 50 lb slob. We also lost one around the same size right beside the boat when a tackle failure took place. The fishing off of Wrightsville beach in the Stream will only continue to heat up as the Mahi will begin to move in, the wahoo will become more aggressive, and a possible run of yellowfin could occur in the next few weeks. Call and Book your trip today to get some of this fantastic table fare in your freezer.
