    If I had tried that, the pole would’ve broken, the fish would’ve gotten away, and somehow the hook woulda been in my thigh.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Default UPDATE, Anyone catching anything offshore?

    So we went, seas was pretty calm, left at 5AM, lines in the water about 7:20, first bite at 7:30, about a 40lb mahi, then about every 15 minutes another one, most in the 25-30lb range, had one slinger, 2 skipjacks. Several times we had 2 on at a time. Bites were steady til about 10:30-11:00 then slowed down. Closed out with last fish at about 12:30, we drug lines til 2 and came back in. Calm seas let us run in and out at a fast speed. Until 12:30 we didn't have to wait more than an hour for a bite. Closed out with 15 mahi and 2 skips, lost 2 somethings for some reason. It was a good trip, 5 of us split a pile of meat for the freezer. Get out there if you have a chance

    sorry I dont know the fancy offshore lingo bro

    We found some, not as big as some others did, but had a solid day. Left the fish early for an anticipated long ride home, but ended up making good time.
    If you give 10 people a bag of gold, someone will complain about how heavy it is!

    You end up fishing? I couldn’t go out yesterday and our boat came in 3rd.

    Good day for sure yesterday. First trip out for my new boat, ended up with two offshore rookies and myself due to late cancellations. Lines in at 7:15 in 250', first bite at 7:45, marlin crushed a green/yellow Iland sailure...on a TLD 25. Quickly ran off 3/4 of a spool before we could give chase...pure shit show as my newbs ended up binding most of the other reels due to not guiding line. Ended up having to hand off the rod to fix the mess they made...gained back half the spool and fought the fish from the bow. Dolphin all over the boat while we were fighting, ended up sneaking a 20lber in on topwater during the fight. Got the leader for the first time 90 minutes in, fought the fish from 10 feet to 100 feet for the next 30, got leader one more time, but just couldn't get him to give up. At 2 hours, I tightened the drag to full, and we popped him off at 10', didn't want to risk killing him and wanted to get back to the dolphin. Unfortunately no great pics as we were shortstaffed for the affair, mostly a big blob 5-10 feet down. Did get a full breach/tail walk at 20' in the last half hour but no cameras out. Best guess was around 300 lbs.

    Got back to the dolphin and found a nice, but short weed line in 325 feet...managed to loose 3 of the first 4 due to various newb errors, but started honing it in around 11 when the wind kicked in. Quickly built from 3' to 5', had to slow motor up the line, then turn and troll back...picked up at least a pair of dolphin every pass. Had a 50lber on, but buddy pushed the drag to full without me noticing and he popped off. Had 6 in the box but had one buddy chumming so we decided to start trolling in expecting a long ride in, picked up two more in 300', and the last fish at 150'.

    Final tally 1 blue, 9 dolphin, most in the 25lb range. Would've been an easy 20+ fish day with a crew, probably only had all lines out 5% of the day.
