A little out of sequence but..... When we left Cat Island I asked Nate if he had 2 hours to fish on the way to Eleuthera what would he do. He said fish Alligator Point on Cat and then the Bridge between Little San Salvador and Eleuthera. The "Bridge" is really not a bridge but a reef about 50 feet underwater that runs for 6 or 8 miles between the 2 islands. The only signs of life we saw on Little San Sal was when a cruise ship was anchored there. We did as he suggested. Not a lot going on........only caught one nice YF Tuna. Nothing like yours, Jeannie, but dinner! The next day we fished the edge along the coast of Eleuthra and again the bite was slow. We did keep a couple YF Tuna and one BF Tuna. It is very difficult to tell the difference between the two when they are smaller fish. Big ones like the one Jeannie caught is obvious. The smaller version is a little tougher. Now that I have seen them side by side it is easy to see the yellow tip on their fins and tail that distinguish them. More sushi!
Now for the best day... We set out for the Bridge again. In the middle of the Bridge there is a little point that sticks out and it was loaded with fish. We had our normal spread out..........some rigged Hoos, a couple Billys and a Marlin lure out back. Long story short again, we caught 4 nice Wahoo and 3 really nice Mahi. We had 3 Wahoo on at once and got them all in.
And the dirty part of the story is we released all the Dolphin and 2 of the Wahoo. You have got to be kidding!!! We had no room in our freezer and we had not really talked to anyone at the marina that we could give them to. Oh well, the Dolphin were all females and probably full of eggs, so we let them live on. Maybe the fishing Gods will shine on us next time out :)
