Moved on to the Marlin rig and saw lots of jumpers there too, but the results were the same, LockJaw!  Around 8am we made a pass around the floater right next to the Marlin and Wham! The Port rigger starts singing, its a nice whitie. We get him to the boat and he spit the hook and swam away healthy.  Lines back in and on the second pass about midway between Marlin and the floater we pick up a 20lb cow dolphin.  There was lots of bait and Tuna busting all over and it looked like the action was about to get hot, but that was it for the rest of the day except for a couple of barracuda and a king. Later in the morning about 6 miles SW of Petronus we came upon a huge commotion in the water, it looked like a hot tub. It was bonita being rounded up by what looked by the tail and dorsal fin to be a very nice blue! We made multiple passes but he ignored our baits in favor of the bonita buffett he had assembled. The water got blue/green at Petronus and clean green North of Petronus and then dirty green about 10 miles North of Petronus. South of Petronus and  around the Marlin and Beer Can the water was gorgeous. Very slow day, but any day I catch mr pointy nose is a good day!

Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
