As some of you might know by now, my wife and I took the plunge and have relocated to the Keys. Settled on our home a few weeks ago and have been doing nothing but working on the place since we signed the papers.
Today we had our first fishing trip and decided to head offshore and go after some mahi-mahi. Left our canal right at sunrise and, with the gulf stream only 10 miles out, we were fishing shortly thereafter. Had a pretty steady bite with the schoolies but did have one or two good hits that didn't stick. Here is typically what everyone has been catching....good aerobatic fighters.
Well one of those good hits finally did stick. Pretty nice showing for a couple of beginners. 21 pounds and 41" to the fork of the tail.
We really didn't expect such a nice fish and as a result we had only brought the regular cooler. Sure wish we had brought the bigger cooler.
Going to take a couple more of these trips to make up for having to miss this past Trophy season on the Bay, but we are off to a good start.
