Today we had Steve and Laurel, josh and Mike all from Gaithersburg MD. Trolling was slow today so we got some live baits from the bait boat and went right out to 150 feet of water.

We set out both kites with live goggle eyes suspended from them. It did not take long to get our first bite and it turned out to be a nice barracuda. Right after J.J. got the baits set right back out there and BAM another big barracuda.

Both nice fish but not the monster we were looking for. All of a sudden up popped a sailfish and now we were Hooked Up. Laurel jumped in the chair and the fight was on.

It was a back and forth tug a war for a good 20 min till finally Laurel got this big sailfish to the boat.

Way to go Laurel!!

We ended up with a couple big barracudas one sailfish and a smoker kingfish.

Today we had Ian and his wife Desire and their two children Carmon and Maya.

They had come down from Lake Shakopee Minn to enjoy a little South Florida Sun Shine.

While the sun may have been shinning I'm sorry to say that the ocean was a bit on the rough side today and we only got to fish for a short while. HOWEVER!! Talk about LUCK J.J. got the baits all suspended from the kites and from that point on it did not take long before a monster barracuda swam up and we were Hooked Up. After about 7 to 10 min Ian reeled in this nice 48 inch barracuda.

J.J. got the baits right back out there and BAM here comes this nice sail fish and we were Hooked Up again. This one gave Ian a little tougher time coming to the boat but after a good 20 min back and forth fight Ian finally got his trophy to the boat.

Way to go guys and Ian looking forward to hunting with you in the next few weeks.
