Default Boca 4-16-08 Hot Sail bite...

Decided to head out last minute, weather forecast had a small craft advisory in effect so we knew the fishing would be hot.... Get 2 of 3 livewells blacked out with horse pilchards with one toss of the 12 fter and figure we are good to go. Clear some big swells in the inlet and start moving into the swells out deeper looking for tailers in the waves, and sure enough with in 10 minutes we get our first shot. Perfect cast and were hooked up with fish #1, go to cast another bait out and a 20lb bull inhales it before the other sails had a chance. Get the releases and continue on looking. Find two more pods and pull another 3 fish off them, and ran into a bunch of schoolies. Sun disappears and we set up a drift since we could no longer sight fish the sails. Right away were tight and for the next 45 minutes we land 5 more fish and loose 1 due to a locked down drag .

Wound up 9/10 on sails plus a 20 and 8 lb dolphin in the box for dinner, a bunch of snake kings and bonito. Nice afternoon on the water :king:









BTW, it was ALOT rougher than it looks in the pics........
