Sandi and I were lulled to sleep in our cabina at Poor Man's Paradise by the sound of the surf crashing on the beach and roar of a huge tropical down pour. J was very happy about the storm as the water temp was down to 82 degrees as we headed out in the morning. We quickly found a large log floating about 15 miles offshore and three passes by it resulted in four bites and two hook ups on dorado with Sandi catching here personal best the beauty pictured above. by 11 we were seeing many sails finning and others jumping around us, we knew it was only a matter of time. When the strike came and the large sail hammered the ballyhoo and launched it self skyward we were galvanized into action. The ferocious 25 minute battle was everything you could hope for, huge fish and many jumps including a set at the boat that soaked Sandi and the camera. Finally we slid the 150 pound beauty into Sandi's lap and snapped a few quick pictures before releasing the giant to fight again.
