The anglers where Denise, Diane and Mike, with 1st mate Zach. The morning started off catching live bait outside of St Lucie Inlet, then south to the Loran Ledges to fish. After fishing an hour we had our first bite and it seemed to be a nice fish but we pulled the hooks. Thrity minutes later we where hooked up again, but the same result, pulled hooks. Then at 1100 am we had a fish crash the right short rigger, after Mike battled the fish for 15 minutes he came alone beside the boat and Zach stuck the gaff in him. Wow a nice King Mackerel. We fished the rest of the day with no more bites until we moved 8 mile out front of the inlet. All of a sudden the left long rigger came down and we where hooked up. I looked behined the boat and a nice Sail was on the end of Denises line dancing. It was a large Sail looking like he weighed around 70 lbs. She did a great job getting the Sail to the boat so Zach could get the leader and release the fish. We had to head in to make weigh in which was at 400 pm. The day finish with us ending up in 3rd place for King Mackerel and catching the only Sail Fish in the Tournament. I must say it was a very enjoyable tournament and we are looking forward to fishing it again next year. Read More
