Oregon Inlet Report 5/12/2007

We orginally set our mark to stop right at the point as that is where the water was the day before...upon getting to the 100Fathom line at the point water was still ugly green and 65 degrees...so I kept Still THink'n heading SE into the deeper. between the 500 and 1000 fathom mark, about 10 miles SE of the point we noticed a hard break...a line of pure green and beautiful Blue water with a 10 degree temp difference in the distance of about 50 yards....that is the line we trolled all day..it went on in a NE/SW direction for as far as the eye could see.Deployed a spread of Blue/White sea witches, get reel Conga lines/shooters, Get reel TIKI Bar (that bar is the sh!t)...we were the only boat fishing the break for some reason..anyway..immediately the Planer pops up and pulls drag...then goes slack....you got it..>WAHOO Bite-off...I rigged up a Hatteras Cheater (putting a bit of wire where the hook connects to prevent bite offs.....and get the spread out again...3 minutes later Planer pops again....this time fish comes right to the top and it's a big (really nice) Mahi...immediately 5 other lines go down...we do the Dolphin dance for about 10 minutes and land all 6 fish and get em in the FIsh Box....rerig and get lines out again....troll NE along the break and get a triple header on the Mahi.....well this goes on for a while and I get a call from Albratross (a boat from VaBeach that we kinda met on the road down to Oregon Inlet)...they were having no luck and were wondering how we were doing.....I gave him our numbers and about 15 minutes later here comes the Fleet (Charter Fleet)....rest of the day was picking off double header dolphin and single dolphins until the Wahoo hit.....the Wahoo hit the right long rigger which was a blue and white islander on the top....only thing we picked up on the Planer were the 3 biggest Mahi...We weighed one of the Mahi at Oregon inlet and it went 22 pounds...we found a bigger Mahi in the bottom of the box when we unloaded at my house that went 27 pounds....30#'s is a citation in Carolina....
