Today, Cliff and his girlfriend fished with us on a morning charter. We had some pretty good fishing with lots of blackfin tunas and kingfish around. It's too bad we weren't fishing a kingfish tournament today because our anglers would have caught the winning fish! We ended up catching a 55 lb kingfish that would have beat the recent Southern Kingfish Association's tournament winning fish by more than 10lbs.!! Way to go Cliff!

The fishing action remains busy over the reefs, so we have been focusing our efforts on trolling. The blackfin tunas are still here, and we even caught another sailfish today. This fish was around 6 feet long and it was tagged and released. Though we are fishing over the reefs, we have been catching a few mahi-mahi as we make offshore turns to re-position our trolling lines.
