Great Dolphin Bite Off West End

[Renegade]

CROSSED ON 3-13 IN SLOPPY SEA'S, CLEARED AT WEST END. AFTER CLEARING WE SAW A FRIGATE BIRD OFFSHORE. WE RAN OUT AND SET UP A TROLLING SPREAD. AFTER APPROX. 10 MIN. WE HOOKED UP, I WAS WAS STANDING NEXT TO THE FIRST ROD THAT WENT OFF. WE SAW THE FISH JUMP AND KNEW IT WAS BIG. GOT IT TO THE BOAT AND LATER AT BLUE MARLIN COVE IT WEHIGHED 39.7 LBS.. WE ALSO CAUGHT ANOTHER 12 LB. DOLPHIN APPROX. 15 MIN. AFTER LANDING THE BIG ONE. WE CHECKED INTO OUR ROOMS AT BLUE MARLIN COVE AND MET GREG THE OWNER. HE WAS VERY NICE AND GAVE US THE SECOND ROOM FOR FREE, AS HE COULD NOT BELIEVE WE CROSSED THAT DAY. WE WERE IN A 29' SEA VEE AND HE STATED HE HAD 2 OTHER BOATS CANCEL AND THEY WERE IN VENTURE 34'S. AFTER DROPING OFF OUR GEAR AND PUTTING OUR FISH IN THE ICE HOUSE WE RAN BACK OUT AND DEEP DROPPED. WE CAUGHT SEVERAL YELLOW EYES, SILKY AND 1 QUEEN SNAPPER BEFORE RUNNING BACK IN.
THE NEXT DAY WE CAUGHT SEVERAL YELLOW EYE'S , SILKY AND QUEENS DEEP DROPING AND LOST 2 DOLPHIN. WHEN WE RAN BACK TO BLUE MARLIN COVE THERE WAS A 36' YELLOW FIN THERE, WE MET THE CREW AND THEY WERE ALL NICE. BETWEEN BOTH BOATS WE HAD THE PLACE TO OURSELVES.
THE THIRD DAY WE RAN OUT WITH GREG ( THE OWNER ) ON HIS BOAT ( NEW 33' CONTENDER ) GREAT RIDING BOAT. WE WAHOO TROLLED IN THE MORNING WITH NO LUCK. WE LATER FOUND A WEED LINE 12 MILES OFFSHORE. WE PICKED AWAY AT THE DOLPHIN. KEEPING THE 12 BIGGEST FISH WE CAUGHT. WE CAUGHT FISH FROM 12 LBS TO 28 LBS. WE THEN RAN BACK IN PUT OUR FISH ON ICE IN THE ICE HOUSE AND RAN BACK OUT WITH 2 ELECTRIC REELS AND DEEP DROPPED. THE WEATHER TURNED NASTY, HOWEVER WE STILL CAUGHT SEVERAL YELLOW EYES, SILKY AND QUEEN SNAPPER. OUR BIGGEST SNAPPERS WERE ONLY 10 TO 12 LBS.
WE RAN BACK ON THE 16th., IT WAS SLOPPY OVER THERE BUT NICE ON THIS SIDE. I SNAPPED AN OUT RIGGER OFF AT THE BASE AND LOST IT OVER THE SIDE ON THE WAY BACK. WE ALL TOOK SEVERAL PIC'S OF THE DOLPHIN HOWEVER NO ONE TOOK ANY PIC'S OF THE SNAPPERS. I'LL TRY TO POST THEM. I HAVE TO SAY BLUE MARLIN COVE IS MADE FOR FISHERMEN AND IT IS ALSO A VERY NICE PLACE TO BRING YOUR FAMILY. I BOOKED 2 ROOMS FOR 4th. OF JULY, CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. OH, I ONLY HEARD OF ONE YELLOW FIN BEING CAUGHT AND THAT WAS WAY TO THE SOUTH BY BIMINI.

It was nice meeting you guys over there. We were thinking of you on the ride back. That first 20 miles was tough But as soon as we got to the stream it smoothed out and we lucked into a few yellowfins.

SWORDSTALKER, GOOD JOB ON THE YELLOWFIN'S. THAT FIRST 20 MILES WAS BAD, WE RAN ABOUT 7 MILES AFTER GETTING FUEL THEN WE TROLLED UNTIL WE WERE ABOUT 32 MILES OFF PALM BEACH, THEN IT STARTED TO LAY DOWN AND WE RAN HOME. WE ENJOYED BEING THERE WITH YOU GUYS AND HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE AGAIN. I 'M GOING BACK FOR 4th. OF JULY WITH MY WIFE.
