Hatteras Report May 25 - 27 MAHI MAHI

[Stillrunning]

Nice catch. Did you try to bail any dolphin? If not, next time out when you get one to the boat look in the water to see if any followed it to the boat as it is very common. Then quickly chunk up some balihoo and give them a tast. Have some smaller rods ready with just a hook and a peice of balihoo and toss it in. It is great fishing and great action on lighter tackle. You do have to leave the fish they followed in the water so they will hang around the boat. The last time we took the V out of Hatteras we got hit by a lighting storm about 15 miles out before we ever got a line in the water. I'll have to say it was not much fun but the storm was moving out to sea. After it passed we followed it out while trolling and realed in 5 Mahi all of which where within a pound of two of citation. If you make the trip again let me know and maybe I can tow the boat down with a crew and we can fish together. My family alos has a cottage about 45min from Hatteras which helps save a little cash.
