Once again today, running and gunning for dolphin proved to be an exercise in frustration. Even trolling failed to produce. We found a propane tank floating and a large hunk of rope and netting that had no fish on it. I talked with a couple of boats that came back from Bimini and they didn't see anything to fish to or any fish during their crossing. The right move to catch some fish was running back in to the 90 - 140 foot range. Kingfish and bonito were cooperating on a fairly consistent basis. The vast majority of the hits came on the down rigger. Remember that during the summer months, getting a bait down deep via a down rigger or breakaway lead will improve the number of strikes you get.<br><br>Captain Dave Kostyo<br>Knot Nancy Fishing Charters<br>305 620-5896 Charter<br>305 732-2628 Beeper<br>www.rnfl.com/knotnancy<br>nkostyo@bellsouth.net<br><br>
