Monday morning, Cleveland brought over the Dockmaster, Leon, and we ended up hiring Leon for the day. Soon we were on our way to one of the best reef spots in the Bahamas! Fishing report....between trolling to and from the reef spot and anchoring up on the reef and thanks to that beautiful rainbow we caught a buttload of really nice sized Yellowtail Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Queen Triggerfish, Cero Mackerel, Barracuda, Grunt, Dolphin, and about a 200 pound Shark! "Shark Man Stinson" sounds like a good name for a blues singer or a football player but is now Scott's nickname! We at some point decided to put a chunk of Cuda belly meat on a larger rod and reel to try and snag a Grouper. We first had a broken line, then a couple of small wires chewed in two, so we fixed up a laser sharp hook on a heavy wire and soon hooked into the huge Shark. Leon told us it was a Mako and estimated it at 200 pounds. Scott, aka "Shark Man Stinson", successfully landed the Mako and we, thankfully, were able to release him.
We had another first time experience. Scott had one of the bigger Ocean Triggers on so CTM decided to wait to throw his free lined chunk of Squid so that it didn't get in the way so he left it dangling barely in the water. All at once something grabbed it and took off like a rocket. It was a Dolphin!...or Mahi Mahi! It hit in 65 feet of water while we were anchored up on the reef!
We were so busy catching fish I honestly didn't pick up the camera even one time :( But, I was able to download a pic from Scott's camera and here is a sampling of our day's work....
