4th of July Report VaBeach

Departed Owls Creek at 0430 destination the 10th Fathom hump SW of the Cigar. Onboard Paul, Otter, Don and myself. Arrived at the hump at 0630, 3 lines in the water and BAM...Blue-Fin commits suicide on a cedar plug. Don makes short work of him and he's in the boat. Start trolling towards the Cigar...fight really bad sargassum grass the entire way. Pick up a Gaffer Dolphin on the Cigar, head east to deeper water but no bites. Backlash landed a Blue Marlin a few miles from where we were on a spreader bar. trolled back towards the hump and pick up 3 more nice Gaffer Mahi's. Hot lures were Cedar Plug and Get Reel Lure TCB. Experienced Electrical problems due to wiring on the boat. Lost my Furuno GPS/Fishfinder and lost power to my trim tabs. Had backup Garmin GPS up so we were good to go. Seas were 3 - 5 laying down to 2 -4 later in the day. Had about a 10 - 12Kt SSW wind all day. made the ride in very nice !.....gotta put the boat in for repairs at Ski Boats Unltd so probably last report until the Virginia Beach Tuna Tournament.
