Buckhammer fishing/Mackenna Jane report

[jjudge]

I was told about this site by Jim at BOE and he asked me to post some reports here. I am not much of a computer geek but here goes...

We fished just west of the Hot Dog on some lumps. Caught a gaffer dolphin after about 30 minutes of trolling. Boated that fish and a few minutes later we have a white marlin destroying the long rigger. Lee fed the fish and it came tight but we lost the fish passing the rod to the charter. Trolled for a few hours with another gaffer bite and 2 missed "mystery" bites. The bridge rod goes off with a big bluefin but unfortunately pulled the hook after about 10 minutes.

Caught another gaffer dolphin or two around lunch time and once again it got quiet when the planer rod trips and 5 minutes later we have a 55 lb wahoo on ice. Spin back around on that hump and hook a bluefin fought it to the boat and I made the call that it was over 59 inches so we broke it off boatside to a disappointed charter...dumb rule!!! Started trolling back north and have 2 whites come on the long and short riggers and catch one of the two. We finished the day about 10 minutes later with another gaffer dolphin.

Ended the day 1-3 on whites, a 55 lb wahoo, 5 15-20 lb dolphin and a bluefin release. A great group of guys today. Lots of fun.

I have no idea how to post pics but you can see them on our website. www.buckhammerfishing.com........(I hope it is ok to put the web site on here!!!)
