Trip Summary

Had a great half day of kingfishing, Cobia Fishing, and miscellaneous by-catch including a LOT of large SHARKS! Caught and landed 4 nice kingfish, 2 nice Cobia that were just too small to keep (sorry, don't have pix of those), lost several kings, and lost several to sharks. Hooked several sharks that we eventually broke off because they had to be over 500 lbs. Steady action all morning

Had a great day on the water with Chris and his son Tyler. Caught bait in the castnet pretty easily, then on to the reef for some good kingfish action and plenty of eats for dinner!!! Saw a nice Cobia swim up behind the boat but he wasn't interested in our baits (OUCH!!!!!). Then tried for some Mahi but it was slow so we switched gears and did some bottom fishing for Red Snapper (out of season), but still a TON of FUN to catch and they pull hard as Tyler can attest too! Great Father and Son day offshore!!

Headed out in some choppy seas but found the Blackfin Tuna and Cobia. Then did some bottom fishing for Grouper, Snapper, and the "ever elusive and Endangered Red Snapper". Thats a joke, we have more Red Snapper than ever before. You literally can't bottom fish without catching them on every drop! Got a STUD Triggerfish, weighed in at 8.5 lbs! The biggest Triggerfish I have ever seen live. Mixed bag of vermillion, grunts, and other miscellaneous bottom fish that we managed to get past the TONS of sharks out there.
