Got the fish finder installed successfully and spent the last two days out in the Gulf looking for new non-public bottom spots. I did find one but it was small with very little relief. Managed a couple keeper black sea bass on it and a couple short triggers. No red snapper which is what I am trying to find because snapper season opens in a few days.
While looking for bottom spots I was of course trolling. I caught several kings and some bonita. No mahi but my dad did lose a nice one today yak side. The water is the bluest Ive ever seen, its unreal, usually water that blue is at least thirty miles out.
I had a close encounter with a dolphin. He came right up to me, started flipping his head back and forth and blowing bubbles. He then swam right around me for a little while. Cool to see in the crystal clear water.
