Left Sherman cove aboard the Reel Mojo around 09:00 on Sunday, target was sword fish, did some bottom bumping as we were heading South in calm seas, a bit cool but really nice weather, action really begun with the deep dropping, caught a nice yellow edge and the biggest tile I have seen so far, anyways picked up a few fish then trolled from the nipple heading to the steps wihtout any takers... arrived at the steps around 20:00 and were setup shorlty, nice drift with a bit more East wind than expected, water was very clear, could see the strobe dropping until about 80ft deep, got a bite righ off the back but did not hooked up, just missed the hook, seemed a bit violent for a sword, a while later same bite and ended up with a BFT. Around 01:00 on Monday we did get a good bite, full of hope it seemed like we had a good sword !!! ended up reeling in a nice mako, 5ft long to be exact, bit tricky to handle the beast but got in on board, found it had a nice hook from a previous fight, might have been the one trrorising Aquaviva ?? Nothing else happened, we started chunking about 05:00 for two full hours without raising anything...moved on towards home trolling without success. Did stopped a few times along the road to pick up the biggest triggers I have seen, but I mean big, good job Ed anf Jack. All and all great trip with good action, a nice mako, my first and a big cooler full of fish, tile/scamp/yellowedge/wsnapers/triggers/bft/amalcos, great weather and great crew. Just so nice to be out there. Sorry no pictures but will ask Ed to post some, still struggling with the sizing I guess.Thank you to Ken for the invite, still working on my boat so it is nice to get out !!!
