Went out of DP yesterday at about 0630 and drove straight for the 14. A couple of miles south we see something strange floating on the water and when we get close it turns out to be a bean bag chair. If you can describe it in a PM I am happy to reunite it to the proper owner.
Anyhoo, the area is a parking lot, at least 50 boats, with a ton of fish, around one large paddy, being the main attraction. Dorado are jumping all over the place but the catching was slow. A private boat would pick one up here and there but never wide open. The sport boats were picking up one at a time but it had to be frustrating to have 40 to 50 lines in the water and only one guy
hooked up. Every time they got one on board you could hear cheering.
We managed to only pick up one and decided to find our own paddy. Went over towards the slide and found 4 different small paddy's with a little bit of life but nothing worth catching (mola mola, etc...). Found a larger grade paddy and this one was loaded with dodos but, just like the spot south of the 14, they had lock jaw. Got one more on the boat and missed one (shame on me) and called it a day.
My buddy stuck his GoPro in the water at the last paddy and I count over 40 dorado, check out the video.
They were chasing tiny little bait and were just not that interested in the sardines. Water was 71.8 and clear blue. When I cut the two we caught open one had an empty stomach and the other had a mostly dissolved sardine, doesn't make any sense.
