Offshore at the Baltimore Canyon 8/8/09

[Captain Ahab]

It was a slow trip but a great time. We stayed up until the wee hours the night before. I, of course, wanted to go fish the inlet and canal in Lewes. Well my crew was less then enthusiastic - except for Jimmy who is as crazed as me

We bedded down after 1 am and woke around 4 am - not a lot of sleep but enough.


Boat left the dock at 5 am and we headed to the Baltimore Canyon. Started trolling around the Teacup and soon thereafter hooked up with a nice Mahi. Fish hit the flat line right off the stern

Because this was Jake's 1st mahi we told him he had to eat the ballyhoo we used for bait I cannot believe he fell for that:

Things got slow again until Don Steptoo - that fine young athlete (????????) landed another big Mahi

I think the fish wore him out because the next thing I know he stopped singing and passed out

Jimmy turned a lovely shade of pale green right out of the inlet and spent the day looking for a cozy spot that was not moving

Nope - he tried another spot:

Here, Jimmy set up a nice chum slick in case of sharks!

And the Mahi jumps!

I wanted to stop and fish for stripers on the way home but Jake turned surly and said 'hell no!"

We had a blast!

[Quackrstackr]

Very nice.

Is that your boat, Captain?

I love to fish the salt when we go down to Florida but it's a bit cost and time prohibitive for me to go out on a trip like I would really like to do while on the family vacation.

Not to put a damper on this trip, but my girl dumped my ass after 5 years, while we were driving to Gary's house. Despite my mindset, I had an awesome time, I caught a new species that was absolutely gorgeous and it was awesome. It was also a very interesting way to fish.The weather was also very nice, I cannot complain at all, the captain and the mate worked their tails off to put us on fish. I feel for jimmy, I wish he would have taken my fish.....
