Trolling Fun!

Today’s 10 hour started out with beautiful weather, but fishing was slow. The action picked up later in the day, especially when we anchored up on a wreck and tried some shark fishing. We hooked up and released a 110 lb sandbar. The end of the day was spent trolling and that’s when the bonito showed up. Today’s guests were awesome! What’s better than making friends same catching fish??

We headed out of Fort Walton Beach under an overcast sky that kept the gulf nice and cool, perfect conditions for a 10 hour trip. About an hour into the trip, the first Fish started showing, and we kept trolling our way nearly 40 miles Offshore. As the day went on, the bite picked up and turned into a full-on action show, with several exciting doubleheaders of Bonito and a couple of Mahi, adding plenty of color to the cooler and plenty of smiles on the deck. To top it all off, a pod of dolphins showed up and put on a bonus performance alongside the boat, giving everyone a little gulf-side entertainment between bites. We had a great time with this fun group from Ohio, and the trip delivered exactly what you hoped for Offshore– steady action, good company, and a few unforgettable moments out on the water.

We spent the day fishing the emerald waters of the Gulf off Destin and Fort Walton Beach under overcast skies and a steady breeze, great conditions for catching fish Offshore. The trolling bite kept things lively, and we ended the trip with a small mahi and a pile of 20 Bonito for the day. To make it even better, dolphins showed up periodically to put on a little show, and the flying fish kept everyone entertained as they skipped across the water. Add in a super nice group, and it turned into the kind of trip that makes the Emerald Coast hard to beat.
