Saturday, May 8th: Crazy day of fishing!









For the first time EVER we came back early (left the fish at 1:30 and dropped off in Aberdeen around 3).

We missed 3-4 fish, threw 7 or 8 back, kept 13 for the table. Bluefin and mackerel tuna to 12 pounds or so, two small mahi mahi.

In nearly 10 years of fishing in Hong Kong, this was the first time I've found fish under birds. The school of fish was several hundred square meters large and we could have stayed with it and
sunk the boat with fish. No sign of larger predators.

Visibility on the trip out was 100 feet to start and gradually cleared to about 2 miles. Light winds and a little rain. Seas were 3-4 feet.
