St Lucie 5-14, fins and tuna

[krisis7]

Wanted to fish while the Dolphin run was still going on. So we decided to try for them and leave bright and early at 5:30 AM. My neighbor decided to sleep in until 6, so we got a late start at 6:30. Went out the inlet and found great seas, medium swell, light chop, I love these conditions. Ran straight out and dumped in the lines at 100 ft and headed East. Found a light rip with some weeds in 300 ft and BAM, short flat goes off, then the other flat goes off, double up Skunk off, nice 'fins in the boat.

Decided to work this rip for a while, Had a few more fins show uo and then while resetting the long rigger, as I went to clip it on, it pulled from my hands and a Large Blackfin Tuna comes in on a rigged flying fish, nice surprise.

Continue working this area and found Always Forward out there, hope you did well.

Decided about 10:30 to call it a day, and trolled west and in about 120 ft caught a nice King.

Trolled Ballyhoo and Flying fish with green or pink skirts work best for us today. Here are some pics back at the dock.
