Report: Left Indian River Inlet at 0730 and arrived at the "Hot Dog" at 1030. Started trolling and moved east north east for about one hour then trolled back to the "Hot Dog" without a hit. Marked fish at the south edge and anchored at 1230 and started chunking. Within 15 minutes had a hook up on a deep line but the line tangled in the props and we lost the fish. While clearing the props had a second hook up on a surface line and caught a 41" Blue Fin. After about an hour Blue Fish moved in to feed on the chunk and to hit our lines. Boated two blues in the 8-9 lb range. Got tired of feeding the blues and pulled anchor at 1500 and headed home.
