Detin offshore 28 May 2011

We headed out the pass @ 0600-ish into some sloppy confused sea's. The waves weren't big, just nasty. Put baits in the water at about 270' and trolled for a half hour with 2 back to back knockdowns and nothing to show for it. Ran out deeper (~12 miles from the De Soto Canyon)and pulled for a few hours more with nothing to show for it. We then saw a lot of boats working one area so we headed there and found a big weed line a few miles south of the Nipple. We ended up pulling 3 P-nut dolphin off of it and lost 3 more There were literally HUNDREDS of Dolphin there. It didn't matter where you looked, you could see them. They were just finicky. We saw 2 Wahoo but couldn't get them to hit anything. We also had a Blue Marlin in our spread that I had hooked up for about 30 seconds until he spit the hook. That's 2 weekends in a row where I have been hooked up with the man in the blue suit. I'm not sure if I'm getting lucky or if I have my trolling pattern down just right.

I kinda know what to look for and I have studied a whole lot. Most of my experience has been trolling inshore and out around the edge. Last year I ventured to the nipple for the first time and caught my first blackfin. I figure it had to do a lot with time on the water and trial and error

Learning to read the sings goes along long way too. Always watch for working birds, they are a dead giveaway of fish activity.
