Wahoo Report! Jacksonville 12-16-09

Headed offshore yesterday after some minor boat issues kept us home on Monday. We left early worried about the fog but fortunately there was none at 4:30am. We got to 145 feet before there was enough light to fish! We pulled lures for the first 2 hours. Popped one off that was either a small wahoo or a king and put a 36# fish in the boat. There was a ton of small tuna and sailfish all over the surface so we switched to baits. From there on we had good action once we found the right area. Most of our bites came from around the 160' mark and most came when we were heading north. We ended the day with 3 nice wahoo to a little over 50#, 1 dolphin, a bunch of bonita (sucks on the WWB) and we caught about 10 big pinks at the end of the day bottom fishing for 30 min. We had quite a few good bites that didn't hook up as well.

Must have seen at least 20 sailfish free jumping. They were everywhere! A great day, perfect weather. Thanks Matt and Brian for doing all of the work while I let autopilot drive I posted a couple videos from the trip: http://www.digitalfathom.com/JacksonvilleWahoo.htm
