Canyon Runner Sailf/Mahi/Kings

11/27-Friday we fished off triumph reef south of Miami and found no relaly great signs of sails...we ended up with 2 nice kings to 20#'s and 6 mahi to 15lbs. Conditions looked right, but it just didn't want to happen.
11/28-Saturday we worked an area off fowey rocks and had great sailfish conditions...strong north current, east wind and plenty of bait. We had one triple head come up fought all three for 15 minutes or so before two of the fish jumped toegther and broke eachother off! We quicly chased down the other one and were 1/3. We pushed south and set up again to find some mahi willing to bite adding a 20# king in for good measure!
11/30-A strong easterly wind made for great conditions again and this time we released two sails throughout the day (2/2), pretty much right off fowey rocks in 140'. Also putting a few nice mahi in the boat and again one nice king that weighed out at 23#'s.
12/1-today we started where we left off yesterday, just north of fowey. Horrible sail conditions...no current, no wind...NADA! a 12# king and 2 barracuda is all that tightened our lines for the morning. getting boared we dicided to make a push out to 700-900 ft and run and gun to find some weeds or other floatsome! We found the mother load right off government cut. I pulled up to a 10'+ long tree branch sitting upright in the water...I visually didn't see anything under it but had a hunch and we put a spread of threadfins out. It took about 5 minutes and mahi invaded us! BIG ones too...we quickly put 4 in the boat the smallest at 24lbs and the largedst pushing just over 35lbs. We proceeded to release about 7 or 8 other mahi up to 25lbs! The final bite of the day put up a great fight for about 15 minutes on 25# tackle and ended up to be a 25-30lb YELLOWFIN! A very nice addition to what would have otherwise been a slow day!
