Fish Fast

Yesterday we had a very short, but very good fishing trip. We picked up a large group of people at Turnberry Isle Resort in Aventura. There was a total of six boats fishing. It's a half hour ride from there to the inlet and they need to be back in four hours. By the time we get out two miles we have two and a half hours to fish.
We started trolling, heading offshore a few miles. Nothing was happening. I knew there were small Bonitos being caught further in, and the tide was just starting to rise, so I headed in. I found a nice rip just south of Haulover inlet. We started live baiting. We caught a nice Kingfish, biggest we've seen in months, a couple Dolphin and a Sailfish.

Once again, the circle hooks that are designed to protect the fish, didn't work! It was a big Sailfish. It was hooked just below the eye. We removed the hook, put the fish back in the water, revived it and watched it swim away.
We fished fast, we caught fish, we were the only boat out of six with a Sailfish!                                                    www.oldhat.com
