Report: We went a few miles south of where we left off the day before. With the much slower drift, it took longer than yesterday to get something going. By 11:30am we had released our first blue shark. We released a total of 7 blue sharks that day. Around 1pm we caught a mako approx 160 lbs. We did not weight it in, as it would not have placed in the tournament. At around 3pm we hooked into something big on the near line (no weight, no float) on a fresh butterflied bunker. He began running passed the bow, so I started the boat to turn the transom around. Bob put the chum bucket and ball over and we began the chase. The fish took us down to the backing of the reel 3 times. After about an hour we boated a 324 thresher. Bait used was fresh bunker and fresh bluefish.
