SLOW!!!
Left the dock at 0930 Fri, trolling north of the Fishtail by 1ish, trolled till dusk, nada; lotta weed, porposes and some HUGE manta rays clearing the water
Set up to chunk for the night on the SE corner of the tails (east wall) in ~750ft right at dusk I was trying to make bait with a sabiki and diamond jig on a homade PVC rod (pics to come later) and bagged a 8-9lb skipjack/ocean bonito

Chunked with a killer slick until about 0200 Sat, one pick-up/mouthed bait at about 0100, finally bagged it and got some shut eye, we half-assed the slick in shifts from 2-dawn;

trolled 0500 Sat till 10ish, started working out way home, picked up a ~50lb YFT on the edge, worked the area somemore up onto the flats, nada, hit the highfliers around the 480/500 line and picked up 12 or so small 2-5lb mahi; coulda filled the boat, but by 1130 we were headed north at 25kts...
