DnT Fishing Report 🎣May 15-17 Bahamas Trip 🇧🇸

Left the dock at 5 AM Friday morning headed for Grand Cay to clear customs at Rosie’s. After getting checked in, we eased out front and loaded up on some yellow eye snapper for dinner. A couple hours later the cooler looked good, so we pointed her offshore and started trolling.

About 20 minutes after setting the spread out… CHAOS 😳

A mean blue marlin came screaming in and absolutely destroyed the starboard chain before snapping it off. Then he switched gears and piled onto the short long rigger eating the Sea Star teaser. After a 2 hour and 45 minute battle, we got the release and called it a day. Definitely one to remember! 🔥🎣💪

5/16Left the dock at 7 AM and worked west looking for life. Bite started slow but we finally found some frigates bouncing mahi around. Went 1 for 3 on mahi bites, boxed a blackfin tuna, and caught a couple barracudas to keep things interesting.

On the way in we stopped by my “strawberry grouper honey hole” and put some beautiful strawberry grouper and a black snapper in the box for dinner 🍽️

Finished the evening trolling for mutton snapper and managed to go 1 for 2.

5/17Checked out and left the dock at 7 AM. Ran offshore into about 2000’ looking for birds, but the wind had things pretty stirred up. Trolled back toward the corner and found a pack of birds, but they wouldn’t cooperate.

The barracudas sure did though 😂Ended the day going 12 for 24 on cuda bites. Pure chaos and lots of laughs from the crew from Melbourne.

Great trip, great people, and memories made in the Bahamas 🇧🇸🔥
