Well, those Wahoo sure did turn on this week! We had a blast. After Hurricane Bill, we fished with John McCadden. John has been fishing all over the world, looking for a Blue Marlin for 14 years. As of last Sunday he was 0 for 15. Understandably, John wanted his Marlin so bad he could taste it. As he read the fishing reports about the seaweed making trolling difficult, he emailed with his concerns about being able to have another crack at his Marlin. Well, I am happy to say that John got one. It was a nice one too – about 650 pounds. Congratulations John! Now that is perseverance. 1 for 16, but I bet you will remember the “1″.

Wednesday we had the McDermott family out. They set the year’s Wahoo record, catching 36 Wahoo for the day. Well done to all of you – were your shoulders sore the next day?

Saturday we had the girls from Teachers Rugby Club out for their annual tournament. We had a pile of women on the boat on a day where it was a mite choppy. Despite some queasy stomachs, the girls managed to catch 9 Wahoo and are looking good for winning the tournament. All of this was achieved with Super Dave in the cockpit. He was a blur down there…downriggers, baits, gaff shots…a real super hero.We averaged 6 to 9 wahoo a day for the week. It is obvious that we have switched out of August mode and, as I said a couple of weeks ago, September fishing is FUN. I can’t wait.
