November is finally here and with more sailfish. Our first trip on the 3rd brought to us Richard, Danny, Hahnes, Sebastian and John from Sweden. This was their lucky day, after catching a couple of kingfish on the troll John hooked and landed a beautiful 83 inch sailfish. It was a real fighter and put on quite a show for everyone. On the 6th John, Doug and Justin caught kingfish, Blackfin tunas, a barracuda and three mahi mahi. The 7th fishing was unfortunately very slow for Ababa, Anir and Aido they managed only one kingfish. On the 11th Jeff and Amber caught 10 snappers and a kingfish on their fort lauderdale fishing trip and on the 12th Matt caught two mahi mahi, Bob from NY caught a sailfish, Brian caught a mahi and Raquel caught a big Buzz and a barracuda! On the 13th Kelly from Fort Worth Texas, Wade from Ohio, Phil from Florida and Brett from Deerfield beach got plenty of bites on sailfish while kite fishing but no current made for sloppy bites and fouled fish. Out of 5 bites we caught one sailfish. Still not a bad day. On the 15th Jason and Jolene from Ohio caught two nice mahi mahi and a 35# wahoo.
