Kite Fishing in Fort Lauderdale with George and Barbra
February 1st, 2012
Here we are on the first day of Feb. and what a great way to start out the month.
We had Barbra and George from New York aboard and Big Game was the kind of fish we were after.
On our way out we picked up a dozen live baits from the bait boat and went right out to 130 feet of water and sent out both our fishing kites with 2 live baits suspended from each kite.
At first fishing started out slow but that all changed once this big sailfish swim up and took off with our left long kite bait. Than all at once he was gone. (RATS)
But wait here comes another sail on our right short bait and 2 more on the right long bait!! All hell broke lose at the same time and at last we were Hooked Up!! George jumped in the chair as the sail was putting on this great show for us jumping all over the place. Once the fish settled down the back and forth tug a war began. George would gain some line than the sail would take it right back.
Finally after a good 10 min George started gaining on his fish.
After another good 15 min we finally had George's sail fish at the boat.
Once again fishing (hours of boredom interrupted by moments of chaos!!)
Nice going George.

Sail Fishing in South Florida
January 31st, 2012
Well here we are on the last day of Jan and finally we had a cold front and this should mean (SAILFISH!!)
We headed out fishing with Jean, Marie, Nyan and Melissa all from Victoriaville, Quebec Canada.
We stopped by the live bait boat on our way out and picked up a bunch of goggle eyes (live bait) than headed right out to 150 feet of water and set out 2 kites with 2 live baits suspended from each kite.
It only took a couple of min before our first sailfish showed up rather I mean the first couple of sails and BAM just like that we were fighting 2 sails at the same time.
A good 25 min later we had both sails next to the boat and released. Within seconds Captain J.J. got all the baits back out on the kites and BAM again connected anther sailfish. Once again a good release and back to getting the baits back out there.
This went on and on we ended up seeing a total of 10 sailfish and caught 5 of them. Baring in mind we seen 10 but we got 5 bites and caught all 5.
Now that's a good morning of deep-sea fishing aboard the Hooked Up off the coast of South Florida.
