Fishing Report 5-23-2009 Gulf Stream

Had a Gulf Stream trip on Saturday with Rick, Teresa and Ron from SC. We planned on a Gulf Stream trip and headed off shore in a SE swell. The ride wasn’t bad for the 1st 40 miles but the wind and a few storms made the last few miles a rough ride. We started in 120 feet of water due to the weather but had quick action on Mahi. Most we small gaffers and the wind/waves made everything a challenge. The seas remained the same most of the day and we worked hard. Trolled out to the drop and had a couple nice Wahoo bites but both threw the hooks. Finished the day with a couple of drifts jigging looking for a couple grouper. Could only get the AJs and Banded Rudder fish to eat. Ended up with a decent catch of Mahi and a couple kings. Hope one day soon the wind will let up because the fish are there just need a break in the weather. Sorry no pictures.
