Well we all know that boats are wet and sometimes very wet.  We know that sometimes fish are caught and sometimes they are lost.  Today through June 10th our daily fishing reports got soaked as they slid off the tackle center into the cockpit and then soaked by a wave breaking over the coveering boards.  So all of you that fished with us during that time thank you again and hope to see you again real soon.  I am sorry I’m not able to list your names and your fish.

Dave, Sude and Mark from South Africa for some good bottom fishing.  We caught a bunch of vermillion snappers, 2 almaco jacks and a couple of kingfish as well.

Two days ago we lost a giant swordfish after our first drop.  Today we tried again with Brian, Pam and Steve from Tennessee.  These guys are avid fishermen and good repeat customers and they know the game we play.   We made numerous drops with no luck, sorry guys maybe next time, I hope you enjoyed the mahi mahi we got.  See ya soon.

Today was one of those days that make or break you as a fisherman, it either drives you to be better or it crumbles you but you talk about it forever either way.  Today we had John, Adam, Phill, Andy and Logan from UCF.  We started the day out trolling catching a boxfull of kingfish and one bonita and then decided to venture offshore to try for mahi mahi.  We made it offahore about 14 miles with no bites from the dolphin.  However we were in the swordfish grounds and decided to try a drop.  We fish one rod all the way on bottom in 1700 feet of water with a rigged squid.  Our bait no sooner touched down and we had a bite.  The line came racing for the surface as we went ahead with the boat trying to get tight as phill reeled like mad to get tight with the fish as well.  Within minutes we had our first look at “HER”.  I could never say how big she truly was all I know is she was over 550 pounds.  Her bill broke the glass cobalt blue water and she seemed to freeze in the air for what seemed to be an eternity when in fact it was only seconds.  She landed with an enormous splash and we got to work.  But things were going too well, within 20 minutes I could see her down about 50 feet from the boat my god she was huge, but she was coming up wrong and we should have had the leader by now. It was at this time I realized that she was fouled in the 100 pound mainline mono and our shot of catching the great fish was slim.   We almost had her in reach when she righted herself and began jumping 20 feet from the boat soaking everyone in the cockpit.  She went down again only to resurface 15 minutes later with another monsterous jump that parted our line and sunk our hearts.  So close but so far away.  I still see that fish all the time in my mind and she keeps me goin to try again.  Call me  Capt. Mike954 522 4773 and lets go get her!

Timmy, Greg and Joe from New Yorkand south Florida teamed up to wrestle in a giant bull shark and some kings today.  Don’t worry Timmy nobody will tell anyone that shark reduced you to tears.  Its ok rub some ben gay on it and call us when your ready again.
