Baby Mahi Fun

Today was a great day to go fishing for mahi. We stopped by 8A reef to get a kingfish or 2, after a half hour, and catching what we thought might be skipjack tuna, we headed further out to the cones.



Finding a piece of floating bamboo, we starting casting some gulp minnows. Something shot 3 feet out of the water, and BAM! Reeled in a baby mahi.

Squish, Oops

After catching 4 of these miniatures, we trolled the cones for an hour or 2 with no luck. Headed down to Pelican Flats for the first time, and found 1 kingfish. Lesson learned, don't try to lift a 10 lb. kingfish by the leader, with a snap-swivel. Game over, fish took a nice rapala lure with it. Oh, and the tuna? Yup, just a bonito.
