Be prepared to run 110+ for true blue. We fished the International and picked up from 133 to run home. It's a long way to good water right now.

| well, thats out of my range. There was a small pocket of blue/green water with few weedlines around the elbow down to the spur last week. I was hoping it might still be there.

| Don't even worry about going this week. We fished yesterday from just north of the nipple over 131, and then south. Trolled south of the spur then way east to the N of the squiggles to finish up the day. Wade summed it up nicely - Chocolate milk. We did have a wahoo bite s of the nipple that ate through 300 lb mono. we had two mystery knockdowns in the nasty water N of the spur - no hookup, just popped the rigger clip. We then reeled in the way way back getting ready to go home. Had a flying fish chain out back and a wahoo had shredded 2 of the 5 flyers, stollen the last one with hook, and left us with a big middle finger. Catch of the day was a whopping 1 chicken dolphin caught on a floating log. I'd wait for a better blue water. It is not worth the fuel right now in my opinion.

We were at the nipple last Fri. and it was green water. Trolled SW from there and still green water. Had a 30# wahoo when we first got to the nipple and caught another 18#r in the PM as we came back up to the nipple. No weeds (a few small, scattered clumps), no trash, no dolphin, no nothin' except for the 2 wahoo and a few flying fish.

| I was at the nipple Sunday and did not do very good either. On the way out we trolled through a school of fish and caught a good sized king before 7:00 and then nothing the rest of the day.
