Caught a few more today with "LiL Nicky" he was high hook for the afternoon with 3.5 hours of fishing.. How many do you think we ended up with again?? I will let Nick tell the story of the day, but someone kept dropping beers, and leaving fish in the rodholders to keep drinking......

Nice work Captain!! Are there any sails up in the Boca / Boynton area or are they heavily concentrated only in Miami?

Prolly would have caught more if my captain knew wtf he was doing and wasn't busy dropping bud lights off the leaning post. I yes I did put a rod in the holder to grab a beer.... he was wayyy stretched out.
Epic day though! While I fought one we ending up releasing 3 or 4 more. As fast as you could get the Kites out we were getting bit for most of the time. Several doubles, a few triples, and also released a quad. Finally count was 16 for 21 . Good times with good people . Thanks a bunch Capt Joe
