WHITE MARLIN on Still Think'n 9/23/2006

Rough and Windy day today. Winds were 15 - 25 with 4 - 6 seas to start the day. Went on the troll around the 44 Fathom wreck with a bunch of Charters who overnighted. lines in at 0830 and at 0900 fish hits the Blue Conga line with Ballyhoo on the right Long rigger, let go of the bait and went over to the Blue and White Islander and hooked up. Brian Steadman thought it was a Tuna but I saw the bill and yelled Marlin. Otter and Paul were Billfish virginis so I asked Brian to pass the rod, Otter was first on it and he fough the nice White to the boat where we boated the 65# estimated white and got a couple of Pictures. I have been advised to take some photography lessons due to the quality of the shots. I thought I did a pretty good job !.....Boat is in for repairs and will probably be a few weeks before we get out again. Seas ended the day with 20 - 30Kts SW wind and about 5 - 9 steep waves, Southport handled it just fine though...

Mahi Mahem 9/10/2006

Fished the 400 line and north today. Found a great Temp break went from 70 - 74 in less than a mile. Awesome weedline which we started to troll. Picked up 10 nice Gaffer dolphin to 15 pounds. Trolled through the Norfolk canyon looking for YFT but only ended up with a Skipjack. Went back to the weedline and ended the day bailing 33 nice fatty Dolphin. Otter had a nice citation Mahi on the Big Blue Marlin lure but he pulled the hook. Great day, weather was nice but was turning ugly really quick. 5 - 8 foot Rollers were no problem.

Mahi for dinner 9/3/2006

Fished with just Paul and myself on the 3rd of September. Started a troll at the 44014 weather buoy and immediately had a nice Wahoo hit the WWB Green Machine on my new Boone Bird. Fish pulled the hook but it gave us hope. Trolled around for a while with a few hits and then Wired Up called us into a nice weed patch. We started pulling Mahi left and right, had 4 rods go down at once and then had a triple header. With just two on the boat it was fun to say the least. We came off the troll and went ahead and bailed our limit of 20 Mahi to end the day. Got a call from Billable Ours looking for action so we called them into the weed patch where they caught 40 plus Mahi...Great day on the water....

Va Beach Blue Water Classic 8/19

Fished the Blue Water Classic on the 19 of August. Weather was beautiful, big rollers and scattered weed. Fished the Cigar area and weather Buoy. No Bills for us this weekend but we did manage to troll up a bunch of Bailer Dolphin. The Tuna and Wahoo are still eluding Still think'n this year for the most part but we've got our fair share of Mahi Mahi....Here's some shots.
