Went Chasing Sailfish 11/27
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2010 9:29 am
Was invited to fish on a buddy of mine 47 Viking saturday over in Stuart. Our goal was to get some sails and dolphin. We left the marina at 7:00 am and headed northeast to our destination which put us just north of Ft Pierce and 14 miles offshore.
Well all we got was Bonita, we could not get away from them, 140 ft, 190, ft, 220, 300 ft, 400 ft, they where everywhere.......never seen anything like that. We could not keep a line in the water without it getting nailed. We never were able to get more than 4 rods in the water until we hit 600 ft. We must have caught 50 Bonita......Enough of this shit ....so we ran back south in 260 ft which put us just east of the power plant where we found a nice rip.....put out our spread and not even 2 minutes later we get a fish on......Yeppiiiiii 25 lb dolphin, an another, an another, Oh wait that's a sail....Finally we get our sail.
Total for the day
50 plus Boners
4 dolphin biggest 25 lbs
1 sail
Just being out in Blue Water PRICELESS !!!!!
