Yep back on board with fishing rebels for trip # 2 ...after a 35 mile run out offshore..we trolled artifical baits into a super big mass of Dorados surrounding waters on a small fish trap/net marker..So we quickly switched over to a 3 rod spread trolling slow light lining surface live bait & and Wow a triple header Mahis...& landed..we ended up with 7 for 8 on live goggle eye baits & circle hook..no sinker... conditions were perfect...that bite slowed down..so heres the game changer..A local panga sport fishing boat we know had finished up fishin..they come over and offered us there leftover live sardinas...Wow so we rigged up to smaller J hooks to fit the smaller bait...and them sardines got creamed omg...yep & another triple header..& landed..
we were chummin live well water and hooked a couple more and a few missed bites..then a big school of dolphins moved in and shut us down..hey we got our fill 11 dorados & the 3 bonitos released..cooler was full and 2 dorados on the floor....anyway it was time to make the 2.5 hr trip back to PV..while Manny & I cleaned the fish..& Capt. Oscar run us in..What a great trip..and a ton of fillets..ya I shared some of mine back here at my apartment..everybody is happy ..Pura Vida for sure..heres a few photos to share..
thats the goggle eye live bait we buy at one of the marinas..big dorados like um..there fun..
I landed 9 for 11 Mahi Mahi on light tackle... those bigger bulls fought super hard..Oscar & Manny cranked in 1 Mahi each..had to with the double triple triple..ya
