Left Matheson Hammock at 7 am. Crushed the bait at the local markers and headed south. Hit a few wrecks and caught one king mackerel. Went south to the Sir Scott and lost a few big fish on the bottom. Wanted to get to the Cero Mackerel spot and catch ballyho to slow troll. Condtions were all wrong with the tide moving under the boat and no surface action from the Cero's. We didnt put a whole lot of effort into it since the conditions just didn't seem right, but we did manage to catch a nice Cero on artificial. We pushed offshore just north of Pacific light and hit the gold mine. In 180 feet it was a gnarly surface current and we put up the kites. I couldn't even get two kites out because the sailfish were so thick. In about an hour and a half we caught and released seven out of eight sails. We continued the drift up to the "beacon" and caught two keeper grouper, two muttons, one cobia, and caught and released a few bonita. It was dirty water but good current. Not a bad day.

Friends on the next day caught and released seven out of eight sails and caught a nice mutton just south of Fowey Light,

Saturday, the 11th

 A quick trip to Bugg light  and we again crushed the bait. Headed straight offshore between Fowey and the Monument Buoy and caught two sails and two nice dolphin in about two hours, and was told to head in. Weather was ugly and rainy.

This action should continue right up to the next full moon.  Sails, dolphin, and kings should be feeding right along the edge of the stream. Bait has been in good supply just about everywhere.
