January 23--Offshore, battling dolphin


Remember to visit my website...http://www.corporateretreatcharters.com/


The winds went west and I was able to get offshore, hoping to take advantage of what should have been a really good sailfish bite, thanks to the front moving through two days earlier. Picked up some BEAUTIFUL blue runners off one of the buoys and headed offshore. At 130 feet I came across a decent rip line, deployed the runners, sat back and waited. Within 30 minutes I had two 10- to 12-pound dolphin hounding the baits, snatching one and then attacking the other while I tried to entice them with a topwater lure. Luckily, those dolphin appeared just as the wind shifted to the north and it started to be time to head back in.


It turned out to be a short offshore trip, but it was well worth trip.
