April 14th, 2007. Is a day not to be forgotten anytime soon. The ladies had a phenomenal day catching and releasing 7 of 12 sailfish numerous Dolphin "Mahi" and a few snake Kings with quite a few cutoffs. The weee hours of the morning were proven to be the hot bite!!! Set-up on a quadruple header sailfish and double dolphin right off the get go. You can imagine a 12 rod spread with four lady anglers and 6 hooked fish....... Wow.......... Needless to say two sailfish and 1 dolphin were caught from that catastrophe. Fortunately it was a weigher and the one that was lost was 20lbs+.

Next drift produced a bite right off the bat and fought for 30minutes on a 20lb. conventional. My personal lady angler "wife" fought this fish and assumed it was a shark.... We see color and lots of it, 23Lb. Bull hooked right in the tail. Never even jumped! Ended up catching one more weigher dolpphin that was good enough to place us in 2nd. Throughout the rest of the day it was single after single with sailfish. Where were they for the Miami Billfish??? Note* I am using all wire also....figures..... Way to go O-Sea-D crew. Next report will be Senorita Shootout Ft. Lauderdale.

Live Baiting is the Captain's forte. Actual fishing conditions and run of species will determine whether you will drift, slow troll, or anchor. A sea anchor is used to slow the drift and kites are used to entice the bite.
