Fished off Navarre beach this morning and started hooking up on fish before I could get past the pier. 1/2 mile out and I had several big hits and a couple lost kings. Then I finally got a good solid hook up. It was fighting and taking drag like a big smoker king. Just as I get him slowed down and close to the boat the freaking bums (dolphins) show up and ate him right off my line. I reeled in just a head... which was from a blackfin tuna. Would have been my first. After that they followed me everywhere I went. Not another single hit for the next 2 hours. So I went home with thoughts of dolphin murder in my head.

Dude Ive been saying that for years. Im into alot of exotic pets like fish and reptiles but many that I would like to have are illegal because they could harm native wildlife.

Of course cute cuddly kittens arent banned but feral cats devastate native wildlife far more then a snake or fish ever could. :whistling:

Well.... dolphin have pointed (grasping) teeth not serated (cutting) teeth.

Me thinks you might have been bit by a shark, they love tuna on a line as well.

I wasn't there so just a thought. I HATE 'pins around anyting I'm fishing off of. Resently got to Alabama and picked up some M80's - taped 10 to old cast net weights and in a water proof box both in the boat and yak - can't wait to see them skedattal when they "concussion" the water column.

Shame the BFT didn't make it in -

Dude. I raised my kid the same way. Don't need FWC, Government to manage fisheries. FWC is souly responsible for teaching Dolphins how to get a free meal. Limits good. Slots bad. If every charter has to throw back most of what it catches because south Florida can't catch a Snapper the Dolphin are going to have a hay day. I dive I fish. I see plenty of Dolphin,Cudas, fat, playing with throw backs because they're too full. Peace Bro. Just tryin' to Teach.

Do you have a fish finder? If so, did you have it turned on all day? Many dolphins have learned to home in on the sonar waves and equate them to a possible easy meal. If dolphins show up, turn your fish finder off and they should move on in short order.
