CAPTAIN AND CREW:
Fishing Easter and Heritage Weekend: Where are all the fish? Bites were had, but no fish in the box. Trey is 2 for 3 .... Out of 3 trips in the last month, he has been stopped by the SCDNR to be checked for fish, licenses, and safety gear, and a couple of weeks ago by the County Police for safety gear. Good thing I took out the beers I left in the cooler before this trip! Pretty soon the entire staff of BC and SCDNR will know them by name, so maybe no more stops?

Fishing on the new Down Time; Tom's new entry into smooth off-shore fishing. Sea Trial took us to R-8, The Deli and beyond. Water temps were around 69 to 70 degrees. The warm water was further south of our location. No great edges were found, but we had a great time catching reef donkeys, bonita, and dolphin. I'm not sure the last time we missed so many "fish-on" and bites, but it was that kind of day. Several dolphin were lost, and we had 2 or 3 wahoo bites with no catches. Andrew had one large fish on for a minute or so before it too was lost. Seemed like many hammerheads were swimming around out there too! Must have been a migration. Good time with good friends!
