Today was too windy for fly fishing in the lagoon so Mike and I took a small boat out through the pass and trolled for several hours trying to hook a wahoo or tuna for the dinner table. We had strikes from five sailfish, landed an 80 pounder and a medium sized blue-fin trevally. The locals say when the sailfish are in the tuna and wahoo are nowhere to be found. The sailfish we gave to a local family but the trevally we kept. Tomorrow we will try again for tuna.
