From Hunter Dave:
Between being very busy this winter and all the exercises lately, the rug rat and I hadn’t had any opportunities to fish yet this year. With spring break coming, we decided to book a family vacation in Guam at the Pacific Islands Club resort. I sneakily used this opportunity to book an offshore fishing trip from the marina on the Guam Naval Base. After complying with the family stuff like parasailing, snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, jet skiing, diving, etc, my turn came around. Unfortunately the wife and daughter weren’t feeling too good the morning of the trip, so I had to go it alone. Probably was a good thing since it was a little rough with 4-6 foot seas by the time we were heading back in. We went out in the 23 ft center console and started trolling for Wahoo right outside Apron harbor to no avail. We then went further past the drop off and started trolling for Mahi-mahi and yellow fin under working birds. That pattern quickly paid off as we hooked into our first double of the morning. We did so well and there was no way I could use all the meat that I shortened our trip from six to four hours. We had 12 hookups and was able to boat 8 nice Mahi-mahi over about a two and a half hour span. I definitely filled that fishing void for a little while and had some outstanding sashimi to boot. We ate like kings that night. I have to say that the snorkeling over there was fantastic. Almost makes me want to get stationed there. We were all a little sad to come back to Korea.
Nice going Dave!
And although I’ve never been to Guam, I don’t blame you for not wanting to come back. That blue water looks awesome. Any yellow dust over that way? 
I bet there was no trash lying around the shores also
Looks like a fun day on the water. I may have to book some flights to Guam in the near future
Thanks guys,
The drive back from the airport yesterday afternoon was a little depressing. I went from beautiful water, clean beaches, clear sunny skies to… well you know.
If you ever make it over there, book your fishing trip through the Navy base. Much cheaper than the guys off base. You can even rent a boston whaler for very reasonable and go it on your own as well.
If I wanted to I could have speared thousands of reef fish up to 3 pounds just snorkeling the reef as they would come right up to you. I wanted to hammer this one pesky trigger fish that kept biting my flipper.
Dave,
Those are some nice dolphin and man are those good to eat. Wish I could have gone there for some fishing. You should have fed that pesky trigger fish an Alka Seltzer
Good to hear from you again, Dave! I was on Okinawa (not exactly Guam, but close enough) for 4 years and I really miss the crystal-clear waters, the fishing, snorkeling and the tropical locale. Once we got back here, my wife kept commenting that she missed the deep blue skies of Okinawa.
