Tide: All

Conditions: Sunny - a little rough day one, flat calm day 2

Had the great opportunity to head out on the maiden voyage of the new “Lady Irene”

A beautiful 46’ Ocean Yatch fishing machine!



Loaded the boat with food and gear, headed out about 8:30am cruising a solid 28 knots to the tails. About 10 miles before the edge we put out the gear and quickly picked up this nice wahoo!

It took a deep running bonita lure - John's first fish on his new boat! What a catch!

Trolled for the rest of the day with the only action being skip jack.

As the sun started to set we got covered up in skip jack and the deep bonita lure went off again, turned out to be a yellow fin that was feeding on the skip jack.

Set up for the night south of the dip and drifted for the evening.

Slow night with the shark rod going off at 1am - turned out to be a really cool hammer head.




Had a runoff at 2am and popped the leader on a decent yellow fin at the boat.

Another runoff at 3am resulted in a boated small yellow fin.

Trolled the next morning for hours with no knock downs at all.

The edge is surprising slow right now - we did better than most!

Still a great time on the water!
