Beaufort Off Shore June 20
 

Long day and sloppy sea conditions all day especially at the inlet. We picked up 17 Dolphin and 4 Kings and a couple of large Albies. Biggest Dolphin was 19 lbs and biggest King was 14 pounds. Even though we started trolling at 42 miles out we caught most fish at the Red 14 Buoy which is straight out the inlet at 27 miles. Lots of Dolphin around the Buoy and lots of flying fish. We caught more fish on double rigged squid behind purple and pink teasers than we did ballyhoo. On the way in a large school of spanish were jumping on bait fish and birds were working up and down shackelford bank so it should be easy to pick up a limit before going off shore. Sorry I dont take pictures of fish and even if I did I would not know how to post them. Frank

Those are some big son of a guns, how they taste anyhow, never had them.

Re: Beaufort Off Shore June 20
 

Mahi? Or big mahi?

Either way, its reputed as the best tasting fish that swims!

I have to agree! I just wish I could eat it more often ::)
