Islamorada 7/20

I fished out of Islamorada Saturday, July twentieth. Stopped at the bait spot at 6:30 and after two throws of the net had the livewells blacked out. Our boat found a big log in about 500’ and fished it for a few minutes but just caught a few bar jacks or banded rudderfish. There were a couple of small tripletail but they wouldn’t eat. We stopped under a few birds on our way to the humps and were in dolphin but they were just keepers. By 8:30 we were live chumming and tuna were skyrocketing behind the boat. It’s was rough and there was only one other boat out there. We managed to boat three blackfins and two skipjacks. The sharks got the rest. The first birds we found after moving farther offshore yielded two 20 lb cows. Too bad we didn’t catch the bulls. We fished every bird after that and caught dolphin on all almost all of them. Our boat limited out. I’ll take it.
