Sailfish Marina Charters
Rob and Chris joined us today for a split trolling, drift charter. We started the trip off with a bang, breaking off a sailfish right at the mouth of the inlet. We weren't expecting that ! The Bonita trolling was excellent, we quickly released 6 and kept one for bait. Within 45 minutes of leaving the inlet we were ready to start our drift and we were still setting out our lines when a live bait got smoked by a small wahoo. He was large enough to bite through the line though above the wire and get away ! We then started catching reef fish, releasing grunts and a red grouper, while boxing up some large triggerfish. I think the highlight catch of the trip was the very fat King Mackerel we caught on a flat lined ballyhoo on a spinning rod. Everybody had a great time and the weather even behaved !
