Baby Grand Fishing report, Riviera Beach 1-2

[Fishing Report]

HALF OF A DOUBLE HEADER, BULL/COW COMBINATION THAT REALLY MADE OUR DAY!

DEC. 23RD, 2011

DEC 22-23 WOW! GREAT FISHING CONTINUES AS WE APPROACH THE END OF THE MONTH. TROLLING ON AN ALL DAY TRIP ON THURSDAY, WE PICKED UP SIX BLACKFIN TUNA INCLUDING A NICE ONE AROUND 10 LBS. ALSO ON THE TROLL, WE BAGGED TWO PEANUT DOLPHIN. WHILE CONVERTING TO KITE FISHING WITH LIVE BAIT, WE CAUGHT A KINGFISH AS WELL. MILD TEMPERATURES CAUSED A SLOW IN THE SAILFISH BITE IN OUR AREA THESE PAST FEW DAYS, BUT THEY WILL BE ARRIVING IN NUMBERS SOON... FRIDAY MORNING WE TROLLED AROUND IN CALM SEAS AND ONLY MANAGED A FEW BONITO UNTIL ALMOST THE END OF THE TRIP WHEN WE WERE AWAKENED BY THE SIGHT OF A LARGE DOLPHIN CHARGING ACROSS THE TOP OF THE WATER. WE HOOKED UP TO A COW OF AROUND 20 LBS. WHILE FIGHTING THAT FISH, ITS MATE, A 35+ LB BULL GRABBED ANOTHER ONE OF OUR BAITS AND RIPPED ACROSS OUR ENTIRE SPREAD. WHILE WEAVING RODS OVER AND UNDER ONE-ANOTHER, THE BULL CAUGHT SOME SLACK AND WAS GONE. WE CONCENTRATED ON THE COW THAT WAS NOW SPINNING NEAR THE TRANSOM AND WE FINALLY STUCK IT. ONCE THE FISH WAS IN THE BOX WE RESUMED TROLLING AND MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE, MR. BULL CAME BACK ON OUR TEASER IMMEDIATELY. WITHIN A SNAP OF THE FINGERS, A BALLYHOO PITCH BAIT WAS DEPLOYED AND WE WERE HOOKED UP AGAIN! THIS TIME IT WAS LIKE BRINGING A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT AS HE WAS HOOKED UP ON A LIGHT SPINNING ROD WITH 15LB TEST. THAT FISH WAS HEADED TO THE BAHAMAS! ...AND IT WAS IN A HURRY! AS UNFORTUNATE AS IT COULD POSSIBLY BE, WE ONCE AGAIN LOST THE POWERFUL FISH WHEN THE HOOK PULLED... WELL, THEY DON'T GET THAT BIG BY BEING STUPID! AS WITH ANYTHING IN NATURE, "THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE..." WHAT AN ACTION PACKED FIVE MINUTES!!! LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SOME NICE FISH MOVING THROUGH RIGHT NOW!

PULLED THIS ONE OUT OF A SCHOOL OF FLYERS IN 85 FEET OF WATER. A NICE CATCH!!!
