The weather conditions are improving as of today, and so did the fishing. A light SE breeze filled in and stirred up some small Black Marlin. We bait fished this morning and then put the hooks in the water around noon. Ended up getting 4 bites and missing two of those.
 
 
Another Scaley comes to the boat.
 
 
All eyes on the spread.
 
 
The big skipping bait gets lots of attention. Even by the smallest of Black Marlin.
 
 
The swivel and leader pop up quickly around here. It’s all Carl can do to clear the deck and get his gloves on.
