Hoping to catch a Wahoo that I can let Gray Taxidermy build a trophy mount from

They wanted to catch eating fish, so in twenty minutes we were in the fishing ground, the drop off,  in 120 ft of water off of Fort Lauderdale FL.  We put two plainers down – a 3 ½ blue reflector drone spoon on one and a double hook Bonito strip with a blue and white sea witch in front in the other with four Bonito strip baits and a yellow jap feather for surface baits. 

 I worked the reefs in and out from 250 ft. of water into 70 ft. and back out again, catching Kingfish, Bonitos and Barracudas on the surface and plainer rods.  We had double and triple fish on at the same time – which made it very exciting in the cockpit – with one line going over and under the others.  From there I headed offshore and found a sargassum weed line in 600 ft. of water hoping for some Mahi Mahi’s to appear, but with no luck I headed towards one of our artificial wrecks that sits in 410 ft. of water north of Fort Lauderdale FL, hoping to find a Wahoo lurking out there.  Instead we caught a few Mahi Mahi’s. 

With a total of 17 Bonitos, 2 Mahi Mahi’s, 4 Kingfish and 4 Barracudas, we headed back to the dock in Fort Lauderdale FL.  As the action was hot and heavy for the majority of the trip, the birthday cake brought on board the boat was never touched, which I am sure will be eaten with the fish dinner tonight.
