Beaufort Off Shore June 3
I usually dont go out on weekends but the guy who I sold my 27 Albemarle to came down for his maiden shake down voyage with his sons so I went out. Left the dock at 5am got back at 6pm..Pretty sloppy conditions and a thunder buster here and there but the fishies were jumping in the boat . We had 12 hook ups with mahi and gaffed em all. Weight ran from 6 lbs to a solid 31 that I saw coming from the tuna tower. He had another big one right behind him but he never hit any of the baits but you could see him clearly as he flashed by the boat. No kings at all but we lost a big Wahoo who was easily 40 pounds..My dive captain friends tell me that the big kings have moved in to the AR's and deep rocks and if the weather stays warm they should be out by the sea buoy soon. In july the Mahi should also be close by so you dont need to run 40 miles out to catch them..Well I better fire up the grill and have a drink.. Frank
