"We spent our day traveling South in very nice weather," noted the report from Intrepid November 28, "looking at several bird schools along the way. We did see some sign of Tuna this morning on some Common Dolphin that did not want to cooperate, but we found some flotsam that was holding Dorado and Wahoo. A couple of Frigate birds pointed the way to Dorado leaping out of the water around a GIANT pile of rope. What looked to be a tow rope or "Hawser" about 4" in diameter and several hundred feet long make a great place to find life offshore.
"Quality Dorado in the thousands as well as Wahoo, Marlin, Tripletail, Turtles and assorted Crabs called this mess home. There were so many Dorado on it that we were only able to hook a handful of the many Wahoo that were beneath it, landing only one. Being a hazard to navigation is an understatement, and its size and weight made it impossible to bring aboard, not to mention making lots of sea creatures homeless. So we did the only thing we could do and wrap it up as tight as possible making it a much smaller and somewhat solid object, put some markers in it and made a call out to boats in the area. I'm sure we won't be the only fishermen to take advantage of this during its lifetime."
