3 King Mackerel
3 Mahi
1 Albacore Tuna
2 Sharks

Almost caught a sailfish that was lingering about 15 to 20 feet from the stern...he took a few of our baits for good measure.

I was at the Outer Banks, Ockracoke and Kill Devil Hills week before last. Wonderful place, fantastic fishing(you can check out my thread with pics there)...caught 50 Spanish Mackerel and Blues in 3 hours. Didn't get any hits on the big boys you just snagged. You must've been running far offshore, where the water is cold? How bout some pics of the fish?
best,
dan

Nice! Spanish are very tasty!

We were about 27 miles offshore out of Wilmington, NC. Water temp was around 76 degrees. Pics are below...oddly enough I didn't snap a picture of our Mahi.

Great pictures. Now that's what you call having fresh seafood...from water to grill in less than 12 hours or so...

Nice job! I took my boat inshore a couple weeks ago and couldn't bring myself to wear my GMT. I mean, I don't care about the "elements"; for Heaven's sake, I do yardwork while wearing it. However, the idea of it sinking to the bottom of the sea due to some freak accident just didn't settle to well.
