I had the pleasure of running my friend Sam Camariotes' new boat on its maiden voyage offshore and man, that thing sure is comfortable. We left out of Day Break at 6 am on Monday morning and headed straight to a couple of fads on the way out in hopes of catching some more live bait. Well, no luck on the bait but we did pick up a cobia around 35-40 lbs, a nice surprise and great way to start out the day! We then headed out Southwest and began bottom fishing. The bite started off hot as we put 3 gags and a couple of scamp in the boat immediately. We bumped around for a few hours and put more scamp, red grouper and a few other fish in the box and the bite completely shut off around 1:00 pm. We tried to fish through the bad bite but it just never picked back up so out went the wahoo lures and trolling spread. We had a big yellowfin bust on one of the baits as soon as we arrived at the Ram Powell but he missed the hook . After that, other than a couple of cudas, no such luck on the troll so we began chunking. We fished hard at both the Ram and Horn Mountain with no big bites but all the blackfin you could catch. We kept about 20 or so to eat and finally pulled off the rig and ran to the swordfish grounds. Very long story short, we had one bite during the night that turned out to be a 170 lb mako! We wrestled that fish forever and finally subdued it long enough to put it in the boat and it yielded some of the prettiest white meat I have seen. Just before daylight we headed back to the Ram and chunked some more with not much luck. We were just getting ready to leave when one of the 50 wides started screaming. We boated our first yft of the trip and he was 82 lbs. Shortly thereafter, we caught another 60 lb yft and then they shut off. Our worn out crew fished a little on the way back in with not much luck and got back to the dock around 2 pm yesterday with a lot of fish to clean. We talked to a couple of other boats on the way in and they said fishing was terrible for them, I think for whatever reason, the bite was a little off everywhere. After some relatively slow fishing, we felt fortunate to have what we did and all in all, it was a good maided voyage on the "Game On" and a great time was had by all.

I heard you guys caught that Mako Jake that is cool. We were out there that morning and we never saw the first yellowfin. We did catch that Blue about a mile or so from there. Man we did find a hot wahoo bite and put some good ones in the boat. Congrats on your fish and i will see you soon.

Blue Hoo, we tried a couple of rigs for hardtails but had no luck. I know all of the shallow rigs off dauphin island are covered up with them right now but that was not on my way. I generally love to live bait fish, we just didn't have the bait to do it this trip. Dan, I can't wait until our trip coming up. The boat is all ready and so am I!

Thanks for the report. Not a bad haul for a "bad day fishing"
Could you help me identify the fish in the 4th pic?

Congrat's on a great trip & thanks for sharing with the report
& esp. the pic's. That's a very nice sized Cusk Eel. (AKA: Hake,
Bearded Brotula, Sugarfish) You should get several great meals
out of that trip. Continued success to you & your crew.
Blue skies, fair winds, calm seas & good fishing!

Thanks for the comments guys. I have another overnighter scheduled with one of my favorite groups of guys first part of next week, depending on the weather. Hopefully we can find the tuna and get them to cooperate. I will post a report with pictures when we get back.

Nowhere was I telling Jake HOW to fish. Merely making a suggestion, as well as congratulating him on the trip. No need to stir the pot.

That would be like me calling Bill Gates and making a suggestion to him on how to make Windows run better.... Believe it or not, there are a few people on this site that have been bluewater fishing longer than you and could probably suggest to YOU how to do a few things...but keep posting...it's always good for a laugh...
