[/caption]MAHI WEEKEND!
Saturday was a perfect Chamber of Commerce day. Cool and calm, the water was clear and visibility endless. Alan Seidel flew in from New York for the occasion and Doug and Richard also joined us.
The day started rather slow and we did not see action for the first part. We started our trolling pattern at the wrecks off the Lake Worth inlet but gave up rather quickly as traffic was quite heavy with tournament participants. Staying within the 3-mile range, we tried the always reliable Breakers area but we found ourselves in the middle of a boat show. Not that we are anti-social but we would rather have some elbow room while fishing. Finally we headed straight offshore.

[/caption]Mid day and after a missed strike, I asked Alan if he did not mind putting his ‘lucky rod’ out. He brought a lightweight four section caster with a 30 wt. barrel reel that he claims works all the time. John and Alan put it out with a 7” feather and we trolled at around 7 knots. Lucky indeed, within 10 minutes, a nice 23 lbs acrobatic cow hit the lure and put on a magnificent show. We could not have written the script better than how it turned out.

[/caption]We could see the bull hanging around the boat and we put out a number of choices ranging from bonito strips to feathers. But as by magic, a few boats showed up while we were busy with Alan’s fish and one of them hooked the bull in a trolling pass close to the boat. A little disappointing but that is how the game is played. A few minutes later, Richard landed another cow, this one weighted in at 17 lbs. Doug completed the weekend with another 17 lbs cow.
The reliable and tasty dolphins have finally arrived so summer must be around the corner. We are looking forward to another successful year of StingRay fishing.
