Hot Hot Hot!!! Boca sails!

[Nick C]

After yesterday's hard day at work with the Boss and seeing about 30-35 sails, we knew today would be good.
Ryan, Derrik, and I loaded up on pilchards and gogs early then set up in front on the inlet in 100'. With a 3-5mph north wind, the kites wouldn't fly, but they wouldn't be needed anyway. As fast as we caught put flatlined pilchards out we were getting hit. Started out with a double of tiny sails(prolly 25lb), followed by a few kings. Since we were on a decent bite we made a litle move north in search of a better bite :nono: , even though in 30 minutes we had 2 kings and 2 sails and I had kooked 5 bites(2 of which were sails).... I had issues :dooh: .
Reset shallow again... this time 70'. Slow push out, but we mangaed a few kings and another sail.
Since were were still catching fish we made another move :nono: to where we banged some big kings yesterday and saw most of the sails. In shallow once again we started catching kings pretty consistantly, then Derrik nailed a nice 30-35lb Cobia on a flatline . It had been 25 minutes since our last sail bite so were getting a little worried, but it didn't last long. Derrik caught another sail on a rubber core followerd by Tubbs with a another on a flat line pilchard. After all that, we were able to pop the kites up... Didn't take long before the my long gog was on with a sail followed by Ryan with a nice t-head on his long opcorn: .
Nailed a few more fish on the kites to make 10 releases and several lookers. Only one of the fish were on gogs, the rest were on pilchards.
Finally tally was about 15-20 kings(8-12lbs), 10 sails, and a 35lb Cobia all before 1pm!
Left fish to find fish, not sure why, but it paid off

Yesterday Ryan, derrik and I headed to work with the boss. After a few "whenever's" and several "whatever's" we hit it up. West wind, good current, no bites on the drift. Anchored up in 70' and chummed for yellowtails, but ended up getting the kings going pretty good. Ryan, Derrik and the boss both ended up with solid muttons from 6 to 10lbs, while I played with the kite trying to catch the sails that were starting to going nuts just outside of us to no avail.
Bottom bite slowed but Ryan caught a nice 20 and 25lb king, and the boss caught a 35lber along with a few smaller ones all on flat line pilchards.
Sunday morning we caught a couple sails after the storms along with a few fat kings on gogs on the kite and a 10lb mutton on a flat line pilchard in 60' . Sails were out in 140', kings were in 80'-50'.
After that we ran in reloaded the boat and picked up the Controlled Slack slackers since it was looking a little bumpy for the 20' dusky and headed out Swordfishing. Wasn't pretty, was looking nice in the sky, but we were locked and loaded with the 130's enough 80's for 2 spreads :roflmao: . Didn't take long before General Grand Kooked the first bite on the deep tip.... after that it was on. All 7 other rods we had got hit with in a matter on 10 minutes. Finally we came tight on the 130 and winched the little 53" to the boat. After that Johnny slices his finger open to the bone and the storm of all time was heading our way, so we called it. Got back to the inlet just in time :worthy: .
Saturday we caught a few nice yellowtails at night and Friday night was loaded up on gogs for the week.

Pretty good stretch of fishing... get out there this week if you can. Should be good til the the wind comes back around out of the south-sw.
