Trip Summary
Summer is here on the Emerald Coast and so are the fish! The bait has shown up in good numbers and this means that the fish are too. King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Bonita, and Blackfin Tuna have shown up. This mornings trip we were bottom fishing and had a live herring on a flat line out. The water erupted as a nice Blackfin Tuna charged the Live bait out of the water catching it in mid air before going on a scalding run. The fish took 200 yards of line on its first run and made several others before being brought to the boat where the deckhand gaffed the fish. We caught King Mackerel and a variety of snappers and bottom fish. Its going to be a great year aboard the Black Magic.
