Saturday Nov 15 report...Good day but a rough day early..the pain was worth all the pleasure...Had Roger Del Rio (Incorporated) today for an intended early day. We left the dock at 4:45am because I had to be back for 9 year anniversary dinner in New Orleans at 7pm and they needed to see the LSU game..Made bait fairly quickly then off to points south in search of yellowfin on fly and conventional gear...Trolled baits around until we located the fish..put out two livies and were fighting a double on yellows within five minutes...made a second drift same result..double header..4 for 4 and we hadn't been fishing 30 minutes...picked up two more singles and after batting the order we broke out the fly gear..heck we were out of live bait by 9:45 thanks to our first and last barracuda...Idled over to the bouy and set up for a beam drift but before I could start chumming with the live cockahoes, Roger tossed a white and silver streamer fly out and hooked into a wahoo...after a short fight the fish was grabbed and hoisted into the boat...(by the way he only weighed 2 pounds) - it was a cute fish...he is thinking of having him mounted...replica would be more appropriate. Regrouped and made an attempt at catching tuna by chumming with the minnows and tuna bellies but nothing was doing...worked the same area for another two hours picking up a small blackfin and missing two other larger fish before heading home early... Hoping to get some of pictures posted on our homepage ...Paradise Outfitters - 985-845-8006
