Patience Pays Off!

Not in a big way, but we got a fish in the boat today!

After waiting for the winds to die down for nearly a week, we finally were able to get out. Yesterday we had one bait stolen and one bait who got a bite out of his tail, but we didn't come home with anything..and from what we heard on the radio, neither did anyone else.

Today was a different story! Of course there were many more boats out, but there were some pretty good weedlines and slicks that we followed for quite a while. After seeing/hearing about a few boats catching something, we headed south again. But, no luck. So we headed north to a spot where we've had some luck in the past. Sure enough we made a turn and out of the blue, a little schoolie hopped on our bait. It was a smooth landing and into the box it went. We tried to find its bigger brother or daddy, but no luck.



So for dinner tonight, it will be sauteed Mahi with artichokes, spinach and tomatoes over pasta. Not only can he catch fish, but he can clean it and cook it too. Thanks Captain/Chef Frank!
