Ran the Southern Belle today out of Rudee in the Norfolk Canyon. All I can say is "DOLPHIN, DOLPHIN, DOLPHIN". They were everywhere and I mean everywhere. You did not even need to be near something and they would attack you. This was they same for just about everyone I heard on the radio.
We headed out to start trolling the South wall on the 525 in 60 Fathoms. Lines in and started the troll up the canyon wall and tried to avoid the many long line sets. They were everywhere. Dolphin attack us several times before we start heading South in 60 to 80 fathoms. Make it to the 480 line when a boat finds a couple of fish and the owner wants me to go North. OK sounds like a plan. We head that way and find a little marlin bite going on on the North east wall. Get attacked by dolphin in some sulfur lines and sure enough Mr Whitey comes in on the left teaser. I am in the tower and try and keep it away from him, but our flat line baits were just attack by Dolphin. They get a bait in position and then we do this several times when we finally get hooked up. Ron passes the rod and the fish disappears. We did not see a fish the rest of the day (Except DOLPHIN). Several boats around us saw multiples which some caught and others missed.
It was a great day on the water caught plenty of dolphin for meals. Wish we could have another couple of shots, but shoot last time I ran her we raised 8 Whites. I wish I was fishing tomorrow due to a really good forecast, NOW! Oh well.
