Fished in January, with Liz, Mary and Mr. Brodie.Liz is a trainer at Gulfstream Park, with friend Mary and owner Mr. Brodie. It was on his bucket list so I did my best looking for Mr. Tarpon. After a few drifts the drag started to scream and we were on! The tarpon was punishing for the recipient but Mr. Brodie hung in there, and after a 45 min battle he had his trophy!! What a dream come true!! Capt. Matt
We wanted to get some eats for the table ,so we hit a few wrecks for some action. Not much on the first few , but we did find some fish holding over one wreck. We both dropped and both rods doubled over after a minute. Drag screaming and the fish digging, I hauled up a nice almaco jack about 5 lbs. Mike was more fortunate though, as I watched him palm the reel as the fish was digging deep, hauled up a beauty of a grouper. We added some more jacks, with a bonito speed jigging. Topping off the day we were rewarded with 2 nice dolphin for the table!! Great day to unwind!!! Capt. Matt
Took out some great guys from a heavy metal band named "Enslaved,"from Norway. They caught a mixed bag of fish including: 2 Dolphin,kingfish, red grouper, shark, bonita, and lost a sailfish. A great time on the water listening to some heavy metal. Rock on Guys!!! Capt Matts!!! Capt Matt
