[dropcap]H[/dropcap]appy Holidays! May all your fishing dreams come true during the holidays and the New Year!

Surprisingly, we have dolphin, wahoo and kingfish running! Plenty of bait showing up on the new moon but not as much on the full. The right moon and tide a “must” to fish by when you come to the Bahamas. If the moon is not right and the tide is not right, don’t waste the time and go diving until it is. Deep diving lures, red/black, or any combination of color with black will produce large wahoo. Keep the bait deep and close to the back of the boat for greater success. Dolphin still biting all their favorite colors. I have found that if you want a large bull, try a Stubby Bubbler that is pink, blue and has a yellow strip on the skirt. Don’t know why but they love it anywhere in the spread. Look forward to posting pictures on the brag board this December. Come on down and feel some drag. Always makes me smile.

Tight lines to all!
