Florida Fishing out of Boca Raton - offshore - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Little Tunnies are prime bait for many species, including Wahoo. I immediately pinned 2 of them on my live bait rods and began slow trolling out ward. In about 150ft of water, the surface bait was hit. I looked back and something silver was jumping. I have had so many jumping Cudas lately, That I though it was another F'in Cuda. To my pleasant surprise, it was a keeper Mahi! Nothing giant, but I was stoked to have fresh Mahi to take home.

After the Mahi, I trolled for another 2 hours for zilch. I tried jigging the wrecks in Pompano, but even thought the current was about a half knot slower, it was still too strong. With the Almaco, Bigger King and Mahi in the bag, I had some good eats to bring home, so I called it a day.

Glad to see you back on the water fishing John.
Nothing like some fresh fish.
Once you've been chamber vac-ed you'll never want to go back.

Thanks Mitch, It's been awhile.... the Summer Slam last June was the last time I went out. Agree! Fresh fish is king!

I have a vacuum sealer, but have not put it to much use. Maybe next time out....
