We went 3 for 4 last night and had numerous baits stolen or killed. The action was solid from hollywood to fortlauderdale along the 49 to 50.
We boated one fish of 160lbs and let the other guys go, even though the 3rd fish was bigger.
We were fishing 5 lines of which 4 were squid of different size and different color dye.
The 5th line was a tinker and was making me look like I have never fished before. The fish would just knock them clear off the hooks, so once I went through 3 tinkers, I switched to a small squid and got another angler in a fight with a 50lber.
We did have a 30-40lb sword come to the light and just check us out.
The bites were all 2 minutes apart last night, we evenutually stopped setting the jugs out and just started fishing right out of the rod holder.
I'll be out there tonight doing catch and release as we have enough to last us a month.
*Most of our bites came from 200-300 ft range.
