6/24 Bluewater Fishing/Spearfishing with pics

skram · 06-25-2008, 08:02 PM

Left OB around 5 am looking for bluewater. Found Bluewater and a solid weedline about6 or so miles north of the spur. Tons of dolphin. Saw a Good blue sized feeding ahead on the weedline so we tried to live bait for him, but no luck.Ended up catching30 or more dolphin all on Topwater poppers. (kept 18 fish) Then decidedbreak out the gunsand shoot a couple, my brother got a nice bull and chris and I got a couple chickens on the spear. On the Way home we saw 6 or more sei whales...a truly amazing sight. Not the biggest fish we've caught, but some of the most fun I've ever had on the water, Constant action, sunny, and flat calm seas. I'm sure Chris can Chime in with more details. Check out the pics

Chris's 27lb Cow Airborne....

Me and Chris with his Cow....

One of the Many sei whales. Estimated at 40+ feet. Fairly intimidating from a 24 ft. boat.

Very cool trip, I'm glad to see you are doing it right and taking those fish with a speargun! J/K, looks like a fun time out there.

Man, what a great post. I hope to get out to some blue water some day and do some spearing.

gulfwaterman · 06-26-2008, 10:15 AM

the water was green at the nipple and stayed that way for about 15 miles south.

I have to say that was one of the most fun trips we've had. We didn't catch the biggest fish out there but there was constant action from something all day. All we set out to do was catch dolphin and thats what we did. Hell I even jumped in and speared a fish and anyone who knows me will tell you that I <U>DON'T</U> get in deep water; just a karma thing I guess.
