We have now completed our first week out. It was a 107 mile run from Islamorada to Bimini. We fished in Bimini 2 days for a total of 62 miles. Yesterday we left Bimini for the West End of Grand Bahama. We had a very rough 68 mile ride across the Northwest Providence Channel. We have now traveled a total of 237 nautical miles which equates to about 280 statue miles. We got to wet a line on the trip across the Gulf Stream which resulted in a couple nice Dolphin on Billy Baits of course. We had a great reef day catching a pile of snapper, a nice AJ and some assorted other fish. We worked our tails off trolling for grouper which had a great ending. And since it was so rough crossing the NW Providence Channel yesterday, we slowed down to a troll and drug a few baits behind which also resulted in a very nice Mahi on a rigged ballyhoo this time. We have only been keeping enough fish to eat so have been on a steady diet of fresh fish so far but have been too tired to cook so have had a "cook your catch" dinner every night :):)
Here are a few assorted pics of some of the first week......
Here is what a BIG GROUPER can do to a 10/0 heavy duty hook.
Bimini Blue Water Marina's dock repair crew.....kind of reminds me of Matt & Josh :)
I gave the owner of this trailer Norman Eubank's phone number as he was wondering about some warranty work :)
We say goodbye to Bimini and the End of the World Sand Bar.
