We got an early start of about 4 am for what would be about an 11 hr trip. We were off to a good start cruising at around 6-7 knts. David set out a trolling line and minutes after sunrise... a hit! a tuna! Why didn't I buy that wasabi back on Long Island?!
I set out my hand line and couldn't wait to try out my toothpaste lure (see Facebook pictures for that) I'd been working on. It was perfect and inexpensive as we have already lost too many lures. Within minutes... hit! a Mahi! Wait he took my lure! Dammit..
That would be it for the rest of the day, no more bites. We did witness several whales to our starboard side in the distance, it was difficult to tell what kind the were, but definitely whales.
We arrived in Little Harbor, Abacos around 3:30. I started to prepare the tuna. I kept saying "Honor the Fish"...( we had just watched some downloaded episodes of Treme ). I made up a Tuna Sashimi appetizer.. OMG.. melt in your mouth. Doesn't get any fresher than that. David passed on the raw tuna (shame on him) but Turbo did not. Later I tried to do a pan seared, but I kinda overdid it as it was not pink in the middle.. but still moist and fresh and yummy.
