Had a good friend in town from IL who was down looking for an investment property in PC which gave us the excuse to slip out of the office and fish a few days. Friday started off like the last few trips with tuna the primary goal. Left out the inlet at 4:30 and punched in the numbers to the low 600s set the spread and shortly after got attacked by the yellowfins going 3 for 3
Reset and and had another pack hit us going 3 for 4. Ended the day with a total of 7 along with a couple throw back small fish
Saturday Darren wanted some Mahi so we pointed her south and ran down the beach to the 300 line. Found a few bailers pretty quick but not the class of fish we were looking for so we pushed further offshore, as soon as we crossed 100 fathoms a white marlin comes on the teaser and eats the flat split bill but doesn't come tight, free spool and he's on the right long for a brief period but comes unbuttoned. Pound the area and 45minutes later a repeat, all over the teaser he eats the flat but can not get a hook to stick. Note to self let them eat longer. Meanwhile we hear of a bigeye bite going off so we pick them up and run back up the beach to finish the day but our number didn't get pulled
Sunday we join a buddy on his boat the Fistful out of PC, head back to the 300s looking for some mahi to send home with Darren and we found all the bailers you wanted and added Darren's first ever billfish a nice little shallow water sailfish
Overall a great three days on the water. Hopefully the bigeyes and the yellowfins will stick around where we can get back at them this weekend.
