Jan 15

Today we had some good friends of mine on board Jeff, Jim and Pam all came down from Jacksonville just because I had let them know that the sailfish bite was on. We were also joined by our old friend Captain Scott from Ft Lauderdale but he was just there to help us drink all the beer that Jim had brought along and also to help out in the cock pit.

Our day started out with loading up the boat with plenty of beer and vodka. Once we had the drinks loaded onboard we went right to getting some live baits just in case we decided to do any fishing (LOL)

The ocean was a bit on the rough side today I would say 4 to 6 foot seas so we knew that fishing was going to be a bit tough but we all felt we were up for the challenge.

Today we had Captain Greg driving the boat and yes yours truly was down in the cock pit. Once we got to about 150 feet of water Greg set out both kites and we suspended our little live goggles from the kites.

Everyone on board had caught sailfish in the past so we had preety good anglers ready for the fight. But we never expected a bite as fast as we got our first bite. I would say our baits were out there no more than 10 min till the first sail fish showed up on our right long kite bait. The sail grabbed the bait and started running with as if were never going to stop till will locked up the reel and set the hook. All of a sudden this fish went absolutely nuts dancing all over the surface of the water. Pam jumped in the chair and the fight was on. I really think this fish spent more time in the air than in the water.

Like I had said before all of our anglers had caught sail fish in the past and I’ve got to say Pam really put it to this fish. She got her sail next to the boat in 12 min and this was all during a pretty rough day. Once we got the fish near the boat it still was going .

Ok one down and one to go. Jim was chomping at the bit to get his chance in the chair. We got the baits right back out there and it seemed like in no time BAM we were connected again and Jim was in the chair hooting and hollering. Jim’s fish did not do quite as much jumping around as Pam’s fish did but this thing just kept digging down deep and it was a reel bear to finally get next to the boat. Once we got it next to the boat I don’t know if it was the beer or the vodka or if was just the size of this fish but Jim decided he really wanted a photo and a measurement of this monster 95 inch sail fish.

After a quick picture we got this monster back in the water in great shape to fight again another day.

This is Jim and I getting him back in the water a quick as possible.

This is Jim trying to kiss me but I managed to run to the front of the boat and I can still say that I’ve never been kissed on the lips by a guy (LOL)

All in all it was simply a blast fishing today and to all of our readers out there if you’re looking to fight a big fish the time is now. We should have these big sail fish and big sharks here right thru May so give us a call and let’s get you Hooked Up but remember no kissing Taco at least not the guys.(LOL)
