Just got back from Atlantis. It was a slow trip with really no hot action but we slooowly picked away at fish one at a time and managed to scratch out a decent trip. Ended up with 4 mahi, 2 longfin albacore, 1 yellowfin and we got a white marlin about 60# which made the trip. We lost a wahoo that bit thru the mono leader behind the boat a ways but I could see the fish and the bite was clean. But there were a lot of hours of idle time. A long liner set his line within 100 yards of us at 2:00am…there was no other boat around for 30 miles and he set right next to us, I could not believe it. We had swordfish baits out and were chunking butter fish.. We reeled in everything and started to move…then he finally left. Weird. No radio contact. Nice night out there though with the full moon. Always a fun trip with these guys.
