Twenty-Dolphin Days?

[Black Bart]

Do they even still exist? I can remember stuffing boxes full of *mahi* not too long ago. Seems like those days are numbered, if not gone already. Truth or my perception?

[fowlshot]

You mean dorado?

[PharmHunter]

I don't go often...maybe once a year or maybe not at all. Few years back we did put 60 in the box. That was a dang fun day.

Happens all the time. Happened multiple times this weekend.

We see them pretty regularly still. If we put 20 in the box, that's as many as I want to clean anyway.

Glad to hear it, y'all. I'm so ready to hear a peeling drag I'm goin' crazy.

I don't want to clean 20, then again I've never considered them to be all that great to eat. Last big catch we had was 30 with the smallest being about 10# and biggest around 30#, that was a PITA. Heck, I cut the boat limit off on 35 triggers, no desire to clean any more than that on those either.

Come to the house, we'll snap one of the boys in by his belt loop and let him take off running down the driveway.

Yes.

If SAMFC has anything to do with it, they will be cutting those days out in the future though.

The better question is when are we going to get some freedom on keeping 20 ARS.

I don't get to fish often anymore but last year I think our best day was 22-23 dolphin. I don't mind cleaning fish and I'm good at it.

I'd settle for 2 per person or a 5 per boat. Even better would be tags you can purchase or given like deer and turkey tags with the option to buy more. But the real answer to your question is never. Then after the ARS have eaten every BSB they'll cut those out too.

What are you, a crazy person? Them things is endangered. Even though we regularly catch 'em on chicken rigs trying to get to the bottom for fish we're allowed to keep...

Caught these on a daisy chain. FD49AE66-8DAA-4CF8-A1D5-D4DAE24FB813.jpg

Whatever happened with your boat, DT? You fished it yet?

[Duck Tape]

Fished Monday. Nice day. Caught 7.

Head up to the outer banks next month. The docks will be paved with 60 fish boat limits of 22 inchers.

We did it a couple years ago… very fun day for sure. It seems more to me the days we’ve been able to fish have gotten fewer and fewer due to the wind… or maybe I’m just getting old and tired…

We are waiting for the grown ones to push thru mid to late May.
One of my favorite eating fish, along with Cobia and Grouper

No shit. “Bailing” dolphin is the offshore equivalent of a cane pole bridge fisher with a bucket full of “sweet bream.”


Bailers and Schoolie fisherman should be embarrassed.
