Another Big Mahi Mahi Caught While Cruising
 
We caught this one on Sunday about 20 miles off the west coast of
Puerto Rico. It was not quite as big as the one in January but still
very good sized and great eating. Length was 54 inches, weight about
35 pounds. It took almost 30 minutes to get him in the boat, a very
tough, feisty fish.

Yes, and lots of it. We need to get some place where we can have a
fish fry with fellow cruisers, otherwise the two of us we will be
eating Mahi Mahi for a long time. We have sort of an informal policy
where we don't fish unless we need more, so I'd like to see it get
eaten up soon. This area between Puerto Rico, the Dominican
Republic, and the Turks and Caicos has really excellent fishing.

I'd be glad to but the shipping charges will not be trivial. Last
time we shipped something from the US to the islands, the UPS tab came
to $255 for next day service. Later in the cruise we sent a very
thin envelope from Martinique to Ft Lauderdale via DHL courrier for
the bargain rate of $60.

And next day is the only way you can ship regardless of which carrier
you use. And instead of truely being 'overnight' it really means 2-3
days. I shiped a unit to Wayne on Wednesday,a nd the Marina recieved
it on Saturday. I was suprised that it didn't get there the next
monday or even tuesday. That is, if UPS didn't lose it anyhow.


But man, it does look tasty!

You get about 10 to 12 pounds of solid, usable fillets from a 35 pound
fish, probably a little more if you are really good (which I'm not).

We got about 12 big servings from a 40 pounder back in January, with a
little left over.

Hi, Richard,

I know about Mahi being good fish (presume that's what you meant).

We've been fortunate to catch quite a few - including a 44" one last year,
and, in one hour period, also last year, three in a row (much smaller) - but
none recently.

If you mean the Barracuda, we do keep and relish the 30" ones. Like them
better than Mahi, in fact.

Nice Catch Wayne.


Thanks. We had some for dinner tonight, really delicious.

Any Tuna yet?


Unfortunately not, at least not in the boat, or where we could
identify them. We had a couple of big hits several months ago, one
that spooled me totally out before I could get it under control, and
another that broke off a 100 lb leader like it was a rubber band. Who
knows what they were but obviously big stuff. We were docked in St
Kitts a couple of weeks ago when a local boat brought in an 8 ft Tiger
shark, and there are definitely some big tuna and marlin out there. We
are really not rigged out to handle the big ones however, and it
would just be luck coupled with a quandry if we got one to the boat.

Quandry, as in what the heck do we do with this thing now. :-)

I guess it has more to do with how many fish you are cleaning. In our
last outing, our group of six caught and cleaned over 150 snapper,
grouper, kings, dolphin, and a wahoo. The electric knife won with about
6-1 over the standard filet knife and the yield was better but we were
under a time constraint with all of those fish so the guy with the filet
knife was getting sloppy. I guess it's a matter of technique but you
could almost see through the fillets cut with the electric knife.

I've heard barracuda were excellent to eat but I know even the smaller
fish have a chance of carrying the ciguatera (sp?) disease.

The other possibility is selling them.
When I was fishing in Md the captain had a deal with a fish market in
Rockville to take all the fish off our hands for a reasonable price.
It made the fishing cheaper.
I saw it as a win-win because a lot of people had the chance to eat
reasonably priced fish that was swimming less than 24 hours earlier.
In Florida you do need a "salt water products" license to do that but
it is only money.



Considering that the poster is "larry," i would go with the oink, oink,
oink theory.

You still can't beat a real knife to properly cut out the rib cage. The

I guess it has more to do with how many fish you are cleaning. In our
last outing, our group of six caught and cleaned over 150 snapper,
grouper, kings, dolphin, and a wahoo. The electric knife won with
about
6-1 over the standard filet knife and the yield was better but we were
under a time constraint with all of those fish so the guy with the
filet
knife was getting sloppy. I guess it's a matter of technique but you
could almost see through the fillets cut with the electric knife.


Ah...

My filets aren't designed to be multi-cut. Just get it off the fish. I
could see how, if you were slicing multiple thicknesses from a single
slab
it would go faster...

Only six pigs would pull and keep 150 fish out of the ocean. That's 25
fish each.

Oink, oink, oink.

It was a three day charter, know-it-all. We could have kept twice that
many.

Learn to use an electric knife and your yield will be higher!

Why electric yielding more? I get right next to the bone with no
trouble.
As a guy who used to sell cutlery, I know what a sharp knife can do.
I've
taken to stropping (effectively) mine on a buffer wheel. Even my
razor
knives revived!

Might be the plan was to give some of it to homeless or needy people.
But, I suppose that might not have occurred to one of the me-me-me
folks.

Sure, Harry. Run with that. Your reputation speaks for you.

The other possibility is selling them.
When I was fishing in Md the captain had a deal with a fish market in
Rockville to take all the fish off our hands for a reasonable price.
It made the fishing cheaper.
I saw it as a win-win because a lot of people had the chance to eat
reasonably priced fish that was swimming less than 24 hours earlier.
In Florida you do need a "salt water products" license to do that but
it is only money.

No, I have a freezer full of fish to last me the next 2-3 months. I
smoked a huge King filet and made a nice dip out of that.

Considering that the poster is "larry," i would go with the oink,
oink, oink theory.

Like I said, run with that.

BTW - this was an annual charter trip to the Tortugas. My boat isn't
designed for that type of fishing.

right answer.

I am not spelling perfect, as you claim. I am a pretty good speller,
