Limit out on Dolphin - Boynton 6/29

Dominic74

Went out solo today, picked up some sardines from Gary on the way out hitting the inlet around 7:30 to flat seas. I was strictly dolphin fishing today, I had a dozen weedless squid baits I made up the night before and I was ready for business. I heard the bite was way off shore , so that's where I headed, my first fins came in at 1,300ft in scattered weeds, I had a full squid set out with a ballyhoo deep, picked through about 6 fish and kept three decent size schoolies, after about an hour of that, I decided to go deeper, got to about 2,300ft (23 miles) and pulled out the binoculars for a quick look around and saw 5 or six birds working an area, started heading towards them, as I put my first deep ballyhoo down , the line starts pulling, fish on! pulled a nice bull in the boat , I went to look for the birds , but I lost them :banghead. I started heading towards the last direction I saw them , pulling out the binoculars, frantically looking for them and found them:grin, who needs a radar! Put out a three rod spread of squid and started heading towards them, as I passed, all three rods go off, I keep the boat in motion, tightened each reel and brought one in at a time, when I got the last one to the boat, I broke out the spinning rods and tossed out a live sardine, it was fish on! I did this for the next hour or so, after I hit my limit, i left the last one in the water, i saw a boat with a blue hull coming way, I was waiving him in and honking my horn, I figured if they hook up , they can keep the school with them, but they turned to avoid me, I hope they where not thinking I was telling them to stay away:huh
Anyways , I let the last one go, cleaned up the mess and started heading in , as I got closer to the inlet, I noticed some pretty nasty storms brewing between me and the inlet, wasn't sure what i was going to do as it covered Delray to Palm beach on the Radar. Then all of sudden I saw a clearing between the two storms and saw the Martini tower pop up, I didn't waist any time and headed between the two, it got a little hairy with some cool stiff wind and some hard rain , but punched thru and made it in safely.
All in all was a great day of dolphin fishing
Final tally 15 for 16 Dolphin keeping 10.

GREAT day Dominic! Sweet. I used to pull those squids sometimes, they def work, unless you are anywhere near 100' feet than it's bonito candy for sure. Congrats man.

We went out about 11, did some jigging, the storm starting coming so we tried to go around it, next thing I know we are way south of Martini and the thing went from heading E to SSE, went all the way down to Boca inlet and in! lol Never did that before.

Very nice. Have yet to put my daughters on a school like that. Can't wait to see their reaction when they see the fins swarming the boat!

Nice job!!! It wasn't like that saturday. 1 for 2 on dolphin and clean ocean. Nice weedline in 600-700 foot went past it. West wind broke everything up. Found birds about 30 off and they were big tunas air it out. Either bft or yft. Had 2 50's double over and screaming drag but tackle failure with crimps and lost both.
