The last week of fishing in August brought in more bonita's, kingfish and dolphin fish as well as a swordfish! Our first trip this week was a Corporate Charter from Ocala, Florida and they caught kingfish and bonita's. Next we took Les Walker and some friends out for an afternoon of fishing where they loaded up on the dolphin fish, to include one 50 pound bull and a 25 pound cow, then we headed off-shore for a night of swordfishing, catching one of two. Great Trip Guys!!! The next day we had a group of guys on board for a bachelor party, there were twelve of them so they took out two boats and had a fishing competition between the two. We are happy to report that the guys on board the Hooked Up won the competition by catching their limit of kingfish and then adding 7 dolphin fish to the mix. Congratulations on winning the competition and the upcoming marriage!!! Our last trip of the month was Carmon, Carmine, Vinnie and Kevin from Ft. Myers, Florida and they had a great day of fishing catching bonita's and their limit in dolphin fish. What a great month of fishing and we look forward to fishing with everyone again!
