Costa Rica Day 2

We started off shore first thing, J was concerned as El Nino the hot water current that brings us warm winters has driven the surface temp to 87 degrees F and above. The high temp had been wreaking havoc with the sail fishing. We hit a school of feeding bonito (black tuna) and caught 7 that were destined for bait later if the sails didn't cooperate. We did manage to raise a couple of bill fish but couldn't hook up, we did catch some large dorado. With a couple of hours left in the day J ran us over to a large underwater reef where we used the bonito as bait and drifted big chunks across the top. Sandi caught a big barracuda and I got broke off by something very large before our day was done.
