A few weeks ago I got a call from a guy named James he said that he had fished with me back in 1998 and found me on the web site. He could not believe that I did not remember him but I’ve taken a few people fishing since then.

Well James showed up in the morning with his dad Carl who just happens to be celebrating his 75^th birthday. We also had Greg, John and Kevin. I’m sure they were all related but I never did ask. The reason I am sure is that these guys all had a few thing in common. First of all they all liked the New York Jets I mean the (New Jersey Jets) they all seemed to like busting my chops whenever we went for more than 5 min without a bite thank god the kingfish were biting real good and  they all fished out of Glouster  (why are they always from Glouster?) I’ll get back to my Glouster commit in a sec. O yea and they seemed to really like their BEER I mean a lot and I mean a lot of BEER (LOL)

The reason I make the Glouster commit if you remember the movie The Perfect Storm when the Coast Guard was looking for the fishing boat that was missing they said why are they always from Glouster well it just so happens that James and his whole family were down in South Florida because it was Carl’s 75^th birthday and he wanted the hole family to go on a cruise with him and his wife. No big deal right but wait it just so happens that we have a hurricane baring down on South Florida by tomorrow and it did not seem to bother these guys one bit they said they were used to rough weather. That’s why they are always from Glaster I guess.

Any way back to our fishing trip we caught more kingfish then anyone wanted to and I guess I was not getting off the hook by just catching these guys kings. The last time James and I fishing together I guess we caught 3 sailfish and at the same time so I needed to show them a little more than just kingfish.

So I worked our way down south to a ship wreck and cleared all the trolling baits and set up to do a deep drop. Dropped our first live bait and the sec it hit bottom BAM we were Hooked Up (thank god) I was getting RAZED pretty good by these guys and now I could RAZ them back. Since it was Carl’s B day we let him go first and I’ve got to say that if I am able to real in a big fish like he did at the age of 75 I be happy with that. This fish pulled a lot harder than a kingfish and it took Carl a good 5 min to get him to the boat but well worth it it turned out to be a big Amberjack.

Now we had to see if we could do it again so down went the bait and once again BAM the sec we hit bottom I think this time it was Greg but I’m not sure but one thing I am sure of is that if I am wrong they will let me know! So now we had a box full of kingfish and we had caught and released a couple of real nice amberjacks so it was time for some sail fishing.

We had our kites out for a good hour and a half we did have one sailfish come up and took a half ass shot at one of the live baits but  never could get a hook in him. However we did catch a couple more kings only these ones were a bit bigger 15 to 18 pound range.

All in all we did all have one hell of a fun day of fishing and James hope you guys have a great cruse and once again HAPPY B DAY Carl don’t drink to much (LOL)

Guys I know your going to kill me but the pictures did not come out (SORRY)

Guys we are having a ball fishing down here in Sunny South Florida so give us a call and let’s get you and your family Hooked Up

About two weeks ago I got a call from a Jessica who wanted to give her boy friend Christian a fishing trip for his birthday but she had never charter a fishing boat before and wanted to make sure that all would go well. I told her to leave it to me while I can’t control the fishing I can make sure that everyone has a good time. So Jessica agreed to charter the boat and also invited some of their friends Doug, Jimmy, David and Jessy all from right here in Sunny South Florida.

We started out trolling the reef heading south towards North Miami where I knew there were a couple of ship wrecks that don’t get hit that often. On our way down we did very good on the king fish and bonitos I’m not sure how many we caught but I can tell you that it was over 10 and more than they wanted. Once we got to the first ship wreck we did some deep drops and caught a big amber jack. We dropped again there but no more bites on this wreck so we moved on. Our next wreck was a little deeper this one was 350 feet down to the bottom but well worth it. We caught all different kinds of really good eating fish starting with a couple of big snappers 1 small grouper which we put back to give him a chance to get a little bigger. And I guess us helping that little grouper get back on its way gave us some good luck because on the next drop we caught a Yellow Edge Grouper and this is one of my favorite eating groupers and it was a big one to boot. Go to photo gallery #5 for a better look at these pictures.

Happy Birthday Christian hope you guys enjoyed dinner and remember we’ll see you in Sep when it’s Jessica’s Birth Day

All I can say is WOW what a summer for fishing in South Florida give us a call and let’s get you and your friends out on the watwer4 (954) 764-4344

Today we got to the boat and we had Manny Rodriguez who used to play for the Cincinnati Reds base ball team with his son Manny JR who now plays for the USA Little League Team and Manny’s wife Mary. They brought along their good friends Jim and Teri and they brought along their son Zack. All live here in South Florida.

We had talked to Manny the day before to see what he and his guests wanted to catch. They all agreed that they would love to catch some fish that they could fry up for dinner.

Our first choice would have been to catch them some dolphin fish but they just have not really been around much so we decided to try our luck on the reef. We knew we would probably catch some kingfish and you never know we did catch a nice Wahoo a few days ago so trolling down the reef we went.

After about one hour of trolling the reef we had way more kingfish then they could eat and Manny JR said how he would love to catch a big shark.

So our mate Luis brought in all the trolling gear and switched it out for the heaver tackle. We did not have enough wind to fly our kites so we put the baits out on balloons and a couple of baits down deep.

Now the trap was set and the wait was on. When you get used to having a different fish on every 3 min or so like the kingfish we had been catching  the wait for the big bait can seem like forever. And that’s exactly what happen we waited for a good 45 min to an hour but it seemed like forever. But the flip side to that is when and if you do get the bite it’s going to be a good one. And that’s what happen when we got the bait we never did see him coming but when he started running away from the boat we sure knew it them.

The rod was bent over and line was just screaming off the reel like it was never going to stop. And as for Manny JR well he jumped in the chair like he was sliding into home base and the fight was on.

Once the fish did finally settle down a bit Manny JR put it to him. It was a good tug a war for at least 30 min but Manny finally managed to get this nice hammer head shark to the boat.

Jay Jay came flying down the ladder like a fire man and they both got a good hold on the fish slid him into the boat got a good measurement and a few quick pictures and released this shark to fight another day. Speaking of pictures Manny if you send us some pictures we would love to post them. Manny and friends thanks so much we had just as much fun as you guys did. I’ve got to say that for Aug I don’t think I’ve ever seen fishing this good this time of the year down here in sunny South Florida so give us a call and let’s get you Hooked Up

Thanks again to all our anglers

This morning we started out with a shared charter. We had Ricardo and his son Ricardo JR from Bowie Marry Land and Sonya and her husband Corey from Fort Thomas Kentucky.

We started out trolling the reef just to get everyone a few fish. It did not take long before everyone had caught a bunch of kingfish. Once again they were as we call it SNAPPING.

Now that everyone had caught fish we were going after a big one. We set out our kites with a couple of live baits suspended from them and also 1 big dead bait also suspended from one of the kite. We also put a big shark bait 150 feet down and another one 350 down on the bottom.

The trap was set and the wait was on. It took a good 40 min till we seen any more action but all at once our deep rod bent over and line started peeling off the reel.    (We Were Hooked Up)

At first everyone helped in clearing most of the lines out of the water so this sea monster we had on would not get all tangled up in the other lines. The only 2 lines we still had out was one of our kite baits that was way out there on the kite and out of the way and of course the rod that was bent over with this big fish on the other end.

It was pretty obvious that this one was going to take quite some time to get to the boat so everyone once again played a part and took turns trying to get this monster to the boat.

But once Ricardo got in the chair it was plain to see he was determined to get this fish to the boat. Once he did finally get this Hammer Head Shark to the boat he decided that he wanted us to get a measurement of the shark so he could have a replica trophy made of his catch.

Once again it was a team effort but we did manage to slide this shark in our tuna door get all the hooks out of his mouth got a couple quick pictures and slid him back out the door to swim away to fight another day.

For those of you that might be wondering how we go about getting such a big fish in the boat take the hooks out and slide him back out the door let me explain it a little for you.

When we get hooked into one of these big fish we’ve got to clear the other lines so as not to get all tangled in them as we are doing this remember the fish is fighting to get away. Once the fish settles down a bit we start gaining line on him. By the time we do finally get the fish to the boat side they are usually pretty tired so as we grab the leader and slowly guide the fish toward a tuna door which is open and the bottom of the door is right there at the same level as the water outside we can just ease them in on their belly. This also makes it much easier for us to get all the hooks out of the mouth or where ever else the hooks might have the fish snagged and in turn this also gives the fish a much better chance of survival..

Anyways back to this fish after we got our measurement and a couple of quick pictures we slid him out the door and as we were all high fiveing and shaking hands I noticed that the one bait left in the water was just about to be piled on by yet another hammer head shark.

(GAME ON AGAIN)

I could not believe this was the middle of Aug this is not the right time of the year for these sharks to be around but we’ll take it.

Once again team effort paid off and we got out second hammerhead of the day next to the boat. This time we were not going to take a measurement of the fish so I came down in the cock pit to give Jay Jay a hand in trying to get the hooks out of this shark’s mouth. In this case what we do is we try to gaff any hooks that are not in the fish’s mouth and cut the leader so the fish has a good chance swimming away in good shape.

We did finally get the hooks out of our second shark’s mouth and no one lost any fingers (LOL)

When we got back to the dock we were throwing our kingfish up on the dock and this seemed to gather a crowd around the boat and everyone was asking us and our customers about our fishing trip. It only took me a couple of seconds to see that it looked as if a couple of these people might want to go it and give their luck a shot at catching some nice fish.

We ended up with quit an interesting group on the boat we had Kenny from Tai Wan and a professional poker player from Las Vegas. You might have seen him on T V his name is Tommy Venus or AKA (TV)

Tommy was in South Florida to see his daughter Camilla.

So off we went to see if we could do it again. We started out trolling on the reef and once again we caught some kingfish. Then we went right back out there in 350 feet of water and put out our shark baits.

This time we had to wait for over an hour but all at once BAM we were Hooked Up and it was GAME ON

Tommy waited no time getting in the chair and his daughter wasted no time running up on the fly bridge with me. She wanted nothing to do with a big shark.

It took Tommy a 45 min to finally get this hammer head to the boat but with the help of Kenny we were able to slide him in for a quick measurement and a few pictures.

What a day it seemed nothing could go wrong. As we docked the boat we noticed that all of Kenny’s family was there waiting for us. It seemed that Kenny and his family were all big poker fans and they all wanted to take pictures with our mini celebrity TV we all had a ball.

Thanks again to all of you for today’s great day of fishing.

I can’t say why all these sharks are here but it might be in part to so many kingfish and bonitos around but for whatever reason come on down and be a part of this great fishing in Sunny South Florida.

Captain Taco (954)764-4344

Today we had Clark and Whitney’s sons Perry and Carol from Ney York aboard the Hooked Up and they brought along a couple of their collage buddies Andy also from Ney York and Kevin from Texas.

I’ve got to say that these guys have caught and mounted just about every different kind of fish you can think of fishing with us here in sunny south Florida but today was not one of those days that we were looking to catch a trophy fish we were just looking for some action. In the past they have caught sailfish all different kinds of sharks groupers snappers and the list goes on and on but today we just went trolling the reef for kingfish and bonitos trying to just keep them in as much none stop action as possible.

Thing were going just as we had hoped the kingfish and bonitos were biting well and these guys were reeling the fish in and then wiring the 60 foot leaders by themselves and getting the fish in the box all on their own.

Then we got a bite that was a little bigger than all the other hits we were getting but we figured that it was probably  just a little bigger king or bonito so we just sat back and let them continue what they had been doing. Carol jumped in the chair and reeled the planner to the rod tip and Perry got a hold of the leader and started wiring the fish in just like he had been doing.

Then we noticed that this kingfish had strips and was a lot bigger than any of the other fish we had been catching. It was a little too late for Jay Jay to take over on the wiring and Perry was doing a good job at it all by himself. Jay Jay told Perry to just keep doing what he was doing but this time as he got the fish close to the boat just take one step backwards and Jay Jay would slide in front of him and  see if he could get a shot at him with our big gaff.

Talk about things going according to plan!!   (PERFACT)  Now a 60 inch Wahoo was now in the box.

Way to go guys it could not have been done better. Thanks again and I sure we’ll be seeing you again soon. For a better look at these photos go to photo gallery#5

Summer is here and it looks like it is shaping up to being a very active fishing season so give us a call and let’s get you and your friends Hooked Up.

Captain Taco (877) SEA-4344

Today Jeff from Ft Lauderdale had his brother  David from Fort Worth Texas fly into town and Jeff wanted to spend the morning fishing with him so Jeff also invited his friends Brain from West Palm Beach and Brain  from Ft Lauderdale to spend the morning fishing with them.

When I write these fishing reports I of course like to write about how good the fishing is but all the same we all know that it is called fishing and not catching for a reason. And today was one of those days.

We were listing to the marine radio and for some reason the kingfish and bonitos were just not biting and as far as fishing off shore for dolphin fish well it just was not happening. So we decided to go for broke.

We went out to 350 feet of water and set out a couple of live baits and 3 dead bloody bonitos down deep hopping to get lucky.

We figured that this way we could cover 3 different types of fishing at the same time. After about 2 hours of waiting it seemed everyone was taking not getting a bite well except for me. I figured that even if we were not going to get a bite I wanted to show these guys that we were willing to try a few different types of fishing trying to get a bite.

So I called Captain Greg up on the fly bridge with me and I was in the middle of saying something about going to do some deep drops on a wreck or something different when he looked at me and said that he would be fine with that but he wanted to catch this hammer head shark first and with having said that he took off running back down in the cockpit.

Son Of A Gun he was right here came this hammer head shark charging one of our baits like a freight train.

(GAME ON) we were Hooked Up and Jeff wasted no time jumping in the chair. It was not a monster hammer head but it was every bit of 5 foot and we were glad to see him. It took Jeff about 15 min to get him to the boat and the fight really wore out this fish so we were able to slide him in the tuna door and get all 3 hooks out of him got a couple of quick pictures and watched him swim away in good shape.

After we got the hooks out and reeled in all the other rods we were about out of time but we had an hour before our next trip so we decided to go ahead and drop live bait on one of the ship wrecks but sorry to say no bites there

Guys thanks again and looking forward to seeing you again.

We seem to have managed to turn even a slow day of fishing into a good day and fishing is just getting better every day so give us a call and let’s get you Hooked Up.

This morning I knew we would be having some good luck aboard due to the fact that this group out of Wichita Kansas had won themselves a free trip to Sunny South Florida. We got to the boat and there was Jo. Jim, Eric and Bruce all ready to do some fishing. We loaded up the boat and off we went. We started trolling down the reef hoping that the kingfish were still biting. And they were we had trouble getting all the lines in the water at the same time. This has been the case most of the week and this was a problem we were starting to get used to.

We caught our limit of kings in no time and headed off shore hoping to find some real good eating fish like some dolphin fish are a Wahoo or 2. But after all the action we had on the reef and about 45 min of trolling off shore without a bite we decided to go back in on the reef where the fish were biting.

We caught so many kingfish that we were throwing them back and we did manage to catch a couple of bonitos. Great day a great fun thanks again guys enjoy the rest of your paid vacation.

The time is now the weather has been great and the fish are biting like MAD DOGS so come on down and let’s do some deep sea fishing (I mean Catching)

Captain Taco (954) 764-4344

What a day of fishing our morning started out with Tim, Portia, Angela and Rachel all from Berlin Michigan. Tim had brought his three daughters down to South Florida for vacation.

These guys just wanted action and action is what they got. We were hoping that the kingfish were biting but we never expected them to be biting like this.

We started out trolling or should I say we were trying to put the baits out and do some trolling. The problem was we could not seem to get all the baits in the water the Kings were BITING to say the least. I’m not sure how many we caught but I can tell you that we were throwing them back. We got our limit in no time. (Sure wish we had that problem more often).

We than decided to go off shore and see if we could find some dolphin fish but never did find them so we came back on on the reef and you guessed it they were still biting like mad dogs. Great trip and great people can’t ask for more than that. And we still had one more trip to do today.

When we got back to the dock we had Peter and his son Alex from Tampa Florida waiting for us and they were hoping we could find 2 others to split the cost with them. We had tried for 2 days to find others to split the boat with them but we struck out. All of a sudden our phone rang at the last min and it seems our luck was still with us. We got a call from 2 guys that were looking to do some fishing this afternoon before their plane took off. Never did get their names or where they were from they got off the boat and ran to the airport. But all the same we had a full trip and we were going to get a chance to see if we could whack the kingfish again.

Once again we tried to do some trolling down the reef but once again we had trouble getting all the baits in the water at one time. What a BALL we would catch one and before we could get the bait back out the other rod would take off.

Instead of just circling the school of kings I just kept heading north trying to get out of them and see if we could get something else to bite. As it turns out we made the right move. As Jay Jay was getting a kingfish into the fish box I yelled down to watch his right out rigger something had knocked it down. At this point Jay Jay was getting pretty tired of these king fish and he just slowly turned around and without even picking up the rod he just locked up the reel. I don’t know if he had planed it that way or if we were just on a lucky streak but all of a sudden I seen this big sailfish jumping behind the boat.

As it was we were having a hard time getting Alex to give the other guys a chance to reel in some of the kings but this fish he was willing to fight for. Alex grabbed the rod and there was no taking it from him. As it turned out Alex like to fish I mean he really likes to fish his dad Peter was telling me that is what they do all the time in Tampa.

Now Jay Jay put it into high gear and cleared all the other lines in no time flat. We were Hooked Up!!

It took Alex a got 15 min to reel the sailfish next to the boat and Alex let his dad know that he had a birthday coming up in I think he said Sep and he really wanted to have this trophy mounted on the wall.

Peter agreed to have this big sailfish mounted for Alex’s birthday but there was something about the good grades he would get in school in return. So the stage was set we needed to get this fish in the boat get a quick measurement a couple pictures and make sure these swamis away in good shape. Everyone on the boat had their job to do hold the fish down so it would not flap around and hurt itself hold the tape measure on each end of the fish take a couple quick pictures and last but not least slow troll the fish for a couple of min to get water flowing past him and get him swimming again.

What a great job done by all and yes the fish swam away in good shape.

I guess I don’t need to tell you about fishing down here in sunny south Florida so give us a call and let’s get you Hooked Up

Today my son Luis and I got to take some of the newest and upcoming anglers of South Florida out on the Hooked Up for a day of deep sea fishing and swimming.

We had Reece and Riley from right here Ft Lauderdale and we also had Jake from Michigan and Henry the (octopus) from Jacksonville Florida.

Thing started out a little crazy with all these little people so excited to be going out on a boat that they didn’t know if they wanted to be up on the fly bridge with me or down in the cockpit with Luis. But weather up stairs with me or down stairs with Luis these kids were full of energy and questions and there were plenty of both. We knew we would have to get these guys catching fish and fast.

We decided the best bet would be to do some trolling and pray that the kingfish would bite. It did not take long till we got our first bite. We were very happy about Jake catching his first kingfish but now we had 3 other problems. Reece, Riley and Henry AKA (octopus) had not.

So Luis quickly got the baits back in the water and we turned the boat around back to where we had caught the kingfish. As soon as we got back to that spot (BAM) got another one. Thank god we had found the kings and it did take long till everyone had caught fish.

But by now it was getting pretty hot out and seeing all these little people had grown up on the water and all were great swimmers we decided to go in to shallow water and anchored  up on a reef and let them jump off the boat and into the water. This was sure to drain so of the energy out of them.

(Not so much) Boy what I would give to have that much energy today. Reece, Riley, Jake and Henry thanks again for a fun day of fishing and we’ll see you guys again soon.

Today we had some local folks from right here in Fort Lauderdale looking to do a little fishing and try to catch some fish for dinner. We had Franklyn, Luciana, Jerry, Edwin and Vanessa. We started out trolling the reef hopping to catch some kingfish and some bonitos just to get a few fish in the box before we went looking for dolphin fish. The thing about dolphin fishing is you can either be a hero or a zero. If we find one we will most likely  find a hole school of them but if we don’t find them will then you end up empty handed. So we wanted to make sure we got a few fish in the box first. So we managed to catch a couple of kingfish and started heading off shore.

It did not take long of trolling for dolphin fish when we decided that no one was finding them and we had not seen one so it was time for a new plan we decided to catch some good eating fish we would do some deep drops on some of the ship wrecks.

As it turns out we made the right choice we caught a bunch of snappers and a couple of amber jacks

Guys thanks again for a fun morning on the water and enjoy dinner.

Bottom fishing is going off right now so even if you don’t live down here and got nowhere to cook your catch we got you covered. We’ve got a restaurant right on the water next to the boat that will be happy to cook your fish for you.

So come on down and let’s get you Hooked Up

Captain Taco (954) 764-4344

Today we started out our morning fishing with Robert and Dillon from St Louis. We started out trolling south on the reef hopping the kingfish and bonitos would bite. And they did while we only caught 1 kingfish the bonitos were biting like mad dogs. I’m not sure how many we caught but we ended up with a box full.

That same afternoon we had kind of a special trip we had Rob from Canada who had fished with us 2 weeks before. This time he did not go on a shared charter he brought his wife Frankie. Both of them were here on vacation from Canada with their children but tonight they had a baby sitter and we were going to catch Robert a sword fish.

You might remember Robert he is the radio D J from Alberta Canada. He has a talk show on the air with his partner Boomer. You remember Boomer the guy that said that Robert never catches any fish. Well last week we proved him wrong by catching Robert a monster barracuda but this time we had a bigger catch to get. We headed out at 6:00pm and ran about 17 miles to the south east of Ft Lauderdale. We got there just in time just as the sun was setting. Captain Greg started putting out the baits. He already had 2 of them out and as he was setting the third bait he told us to get ready he thought we were getting a bite. Sure enough he was right we could not believe this we just got there and we were Hooked Up. Robert and Greg were clearing the other lines when the line with the fish on went slack (RATS) we pulled the hooks.

So we went right back to setting all the lines out there. The next bite did not come for a few hours but it did finally come and this one stayed connected. It only took about 10 min to get him to the boat but there he was a SWORD FISH the fish we were trying to catch. It was not a monster but it was our targeted spices and we got him. We all decided that this fish was going to swim away to fight another day when he was bigger.

Robert and Frankie thank you so much we really enjoyed fishing with you and we are looking forward to fishing you again next year.

As for Boomer (HOW U DOING) no fish for Robert well how about no fish for Boomer (LOL)

Guys we got all kinds of fish biting now so give us a call and let’s get you Hooked Up

Today Justin, Mike, Amanda, Dave and Megan all from Chicago spent the morning fishing aboard the Hooked Up. We started out trolling the reef and caught some kingfish and bonitos afterwards we got some live bait to see what we could get to eat them and we made the right choice.

We slow trolled the live baits over a big ledge and it only took a few min and there was a big splash next to one of our live baits and BAM we were Hooked Up.

We had this fish hooked on a small spinning rod so we knew we had our work cut out for us. So we just took our time and slowly wore down this sea monster and finally got him to the boat.

It turned out to be a monster barracuda.

Way to go guys and thanks again for a fun morning of fishing looking forward to fishing you guys again soon.

Summer is here and so are those big monster barracudas’ so give us a call and let get you Hooked Up into one of the South Atlantis’s tigers.

Today  we had  Carlos who lives right here in Sunny South Florida came walking down the docks looking for a boat to charter to entertain some of his clients that were in town from Bogota Colombia. Carlos has his own boat docked here at our marina and had taken his guests out the day before without much luck and he really wanted his guests to catch some fish.

When Carlos, Juan Carlos, German and Felipe arrived at the boat I walked up to introduce myself I found that Carlos’s guests did not speak English. Much to Carlos surprise I speak pretty good Spanish. So we were off to a good start. And as it turned out only one of the guests were really into fishing and that was Juan Carlos and man was he into it. It would not have mattered if we could not have understood each other because he was so into everything that we were doing. He wanted to know what our planner did why our leader was so long and so on. I’m sure he leaned a couple of thing that he’ll try back home.

Anyways back to the fishing trip. When Carlos had told us all he wanted was steady action for his clients. Having said that we were just hoping that the kingfish and bonitos would bite. We started out heading south down the reef. I spoke to some of the other fishing boats on the radio and they had told me that the kings were not really biting very well. So we were going to head down to a ship wreck and see if we could pull something out of the wreck once we got there. Much to our surprise we were having a hard time making any head way toward our wreck because the king fish and bonitos were biting all the way down there. Not a bad problem to have. By the time we got to the wreck we were heading for we had a box full of kings and bonitos good thing because nothing was biting at the wreck once we got there.

It turned out to be a great trip I don’t think Juan Carlos ever caught so many fish in one fishing trip and for Carlos well he could not have been happier. Carlos thanks again and looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Kings and Bonitos are snapping so give us a call and let’s get you Hooked Up

Today we got to the boat and we had a Braxton from Midland California and Nicholas from Bakers Field Texas looking to do some deep sea fishing. They really did not care what they caught they just wanted some steady action.  So that was just want we gave them we went trolling down the reef and the kingfish and bonitos were as we say it down here in sunny South Florida (SNAPPING).

It was pretty much none stop action and we were having a hard time getting all the baits in the water at one time. We kept trolling our way to the south on the reef and we knew these guys had caught more than enough kings and bonitos so we were going to see what might be hanging around one of the big ship wrecks we happen to be close to.

We started out trolling some little jigs around the wreck and caught some smaller bonitos and put them right back out over the wreck on some big trouble hooks.

It did not take long and BAM we were Hooked Up. It took a good 10 min to get the first one to the boat but well worth it a monster barracuda. It seemed we could do no wrong today so we figured let’s try that again and Bam another one. This one was a little smaller but still a stud by anyone standers.

Braxton and Nicholas thanks so much and see ya again soon.

The time is now to catch all kinds of fish down here so get yourself on a plane, bus, car or train but come on down and let’s get you Hooked Up

This morning we got to the boat and Antonio along with his friend Sara from Minnesota were getting out of their car when we noticed three eager little people jump out of the car and ran up to the boat and could not wait to get on the boat and do some deep sea fishing. These 3 little people were Ashley, Vanessa and Marco and someone must have given them a big bowl of sugar before they got to the boat or they really could not wait to go fishing.

We knew we were going to have our hands full with these guys and all we could do was praying the fish were biting.

We knew that our best chance of catching a lot of fish and keeping these kids entertained was to go trolling the reef and hope the kings were biting. Thank god they were and they were biting real good. We trolled our way to the south and it took no time till we had a box full of kingfish, bonitos and a boat full of happy little people. These kids were well behaved and they were all listing to how JJ was telling them to reel in the fish so we were going to give Big Game Fishing a try.

We got to a ship wreck and trolled around it till we caught a couple big bonitos at the same time. Here the tricky part JJ unhooked these big bonitos and hooked them onto some big trouble hooks and put them right back out He just started letting it out when BAM we were Hooked Up and I mean Hooked Up this was a monster. I can’t recall witch one of the little people jumped in the chair but the fight was on. This fish did not come in as easy as the kings did earlier in the trip but after about 15 min of fighting this sea monster we did finally get him to the boat. It was a huge barracuda over 50 inches long. We were all proud of the catch but we had 2 little problems you guessed it 2 of the other little people were just sitting there watching everyone high fiving and jumping around.

Could we do it again?

We went for it and once again caught another live big bonito put him right back out there on top of the wreck. This time it was not an insta bite we had to troll him around for a while than all of a sudden a huge splash where our bait was and we were Hooked Up again.

Once again the fight was a good 15 min but YES another monster barracuda.

Two down one to go could we do it again yes we can and yes we did all three little people caught BIG fish.

We were about 7 miles from our inlet and started heading back toward home when we all realized that one person on the boat was without a big catch. We were so into catching all the little people big fish that we forgot all about Sara.

We decided to stay a little longer this time we put out our fishing kites with some live baits suspended from them and in no time here comes this sailfish. We could not believe the luck we were having but sorry to say the sailfish was not eating and just swam by and kept going.

However we did manage to catch Sara a huge kingfish about the same size as the barracudas we had caught. Everyone was as happy.

Well it does not always happen this way but man it sure is nice when it does. Antonio thanks so much and we’re looking forward to seeing you guys again next week.

We have some great photos of this trip and as soon as Antonio sends them to us we will post them.

Fishing’s great weather great so give us a call and let’s do some deep sea fishing.
