Correct about the techno-changes in guidance/navigation systems in the

Speaking of island hopping, are you getting in on some good fishing on your cruise?

I fished briefly on the last half of our Gulf Stream crossing but
nothing to show for it except a stolen lure and badly bitten up mono
leader. Must have been something with sharp teeth. Conventional
wisdom is that Mahi mahi will not bite on wire leaders so not much
choice unless you're after the really big stuff.

We've been in relatively shallow water ever since and conditions
offshore have been fairly rough.


Gnawing on a leader in such fashion is an indicator of Shark or Barracuda?


===

More likely a shark in my opinion. I've caught barracuda on mono
leaders a number of times but once saw a shark grab a live bait fish
on mono with barely a twitch of the pole.


Maybe a wahoo.
