Today we started out our day with Ali from England, Tom from Whales, Rick from Wolverhame, and Benny Boy from Whales.

Today the request was for fish. Just catch as many fish as possible so that was just what we did. We went trolling the reef with two planner board down about 45 feet down and three top lines with ballyhoo and bonitos strips on them.

The king fish and bonitos were biting like mad dogs we ended up with our limit of kings in no time and a box full of bonitos.

Thanks again guys and looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Summer is here and the reef is full of life so bending the rod seems to be no problem and the dolphin fish will be around any day now so give us a call and let's go fishing.

Today we had Mom and Dad Scott and Suzie and their daughter Pickle all from parts unknown. We went trolling down the reef and caught the heck out of king fish and bonitos. We had our limit of kings in no time and the bonitos just kept coming.

Thanks again guys for a fun filled morning of fishing.

This morning we started out our first trip of the day with Dr Dale from Tampa Florida and his son Rainey from Pompano Beach Florida.

We started out trolling the reef with two lines down deep and three on the surface. Since we only had two anglers we had our limit of kings in no time and the bonitos just kept coming. It got to be pretty routine catching kings and bonitos but then we got a bite that was pulling a bit harder than the others. Dale jumped in the chair and ended up catching and releasing a big barracuda.

On top of a good morning of catching I even got some medical advice from Dr Dale.

Doc and Rainey it truly was a pleasure fishing with you guys today and we are looking forward to our sword fish trip coming up.

This afternoon we had Jessie, Tim, Dan, Ryan and Crag from Sturgeon Bay WI.

Since trolling the reef had been producing good numbers for us we went right back to trolling the reef.

And once again the kings and bonitos were biting real well. After everyone had caught fish we decided to set out a few live baits and a couple of shark baits and see if our luck would continue?

Once we had all our baits set out there the trap was set and the wait started. It did take a bit of waiting but all of a sudden our deep rod bent over and line was screaming off the reel.

Jessie wasted no time jumping in the chair and the fight was on. It was a big back and forth tug a war for over 20 min but at last Jessie wore down his opponent and got a nice bull shark to the boat. We got 2 out of the 3 hooks out of him and watched him swim away in great shape.

Thanks again to all of our anglers today and we are looking forward to fishing you guys again soon.

Fishing is good, Weather is good, Air fares and hotel rates are down so give us a call and let's get you Hooked Up.

Today we had a crazy bunch on the boat. It all started with Toney from Davie Florida and his kid brother Mike from Lancaster, Pa who has never in his life caught a fish. They invited their friends Todd, Ben Alia and Gary all from South Florida

Things started out normal enough catching king fish and bonitos on the reef. And now that Mike had caught his first fish ever the mood on the boat started to change a bit. Ben Alia started to get very attracted to the king fish and the beer seemed to be flowing down dangerously smooth at this point. So Captain J.J. thought he would change things up a bit and see how that would affect our group.

So in came all the trolling gear and out went the shark baits. Ok so now the trap was set and all we needed was for some big sea monster to come along and take a bite. It did not take long before our deep rod with the bait on the bottom bent over and line started peeling of the reel.

Angler #one got in the chair and started the back and forth tug a war for a good 5 to 6 min and them he just wore out. Ok now angler #2 got in the chair and he also petered out in about 5 min. Can you say angler # 3 and that's right you guessed it here comes # 4 and then we start at the beginning again. What a ball I think this one fish beat the heck out of 4 grown men and remember all the fish had to hold on to was water these guys had a 45 foot boat, A big fighting chair and a big fishing rod. (LOL)

After a good 35 min of fighting and changing anglers they finally got this monster hammer head shark to the boat. We got all three hooks out of the shark got a quick measurement in order to have a replica mount made of their catch and watched him swam away in good shape

Guys thanks for the laughs and the good time and we hope to see you guys again soon.

It is the last day of June and it looks like the king fish are here in full.

We started out our morning trip with Matt and Sue from Pennsalvaya and Mike from Colorado.

We went trolling the reef since the reef had been producing good fish and once again the reef is going off. The king fish and bonitos are biting like mad dogs.

We ended up with a box full of bonitos our limit of king fish and one big barracuda.

As we pulled back to the dock we had our afternoon trip there waiting for us. And after seeing our catch this morning they were hopping for more of the same.

This afternoon we had Kevin and Tom from New York and Christian and Mike from Colorado.

It was right back to the reef to see if the kings were still biting and they were. We ended up with 8 king fish (our limit) for only having 4 anglers and a box full of bonitos.

No real big fish today but we had pretty much none stop action and everyone had a ball.

Thanks again to all our anglers today and we hope to see you guys again soon.
