Offshore Catch

Two or three other sailboats were heading offshore from Charleston Harbor about the same time we were. It was a good day to be heading offshore with winds in the right direction. We communicated with one of the other boats a few times. They went through a school of Mahi-mahi landing two within a half hour. Unfortunately we were not so fortunate and did not get a nibble all day.
The next day however found us going through a school. Michael landed one, before going off watch, put that line back out and went below. Within ten minutes both lines were spinning. I reeled in the smaller one first while Michael tried to tire out the big one. He probably fought it for at least a half an hour (or more) before finally gettin it on board. Fish for dinner. Yippee!!! Michael brought the lines in after that. The freezer was full and he was worn out. We didn't put another line out for a couple more days. We caught another Mahi-mahi, but let this one go as we still had plenty. We were hoping to catch something else, but no sudh luck. Oh well, the mahi-mahi has made for some mighty fine eating.
