    First billfish

    Went fishing this Sat. and started trolling at about 8 on some small patches of grass. We didn't find anything there but stayed in the area and hooked up on 2 sails at about 8:30. One quickly spit the hook the other got bill wrapped but the hook was set in his bill pretty well. We got him in, in about 15 min. I was excited as i have been fishing offshore for about 7 years and haven't even been on a boat when a billfish was caught on it . So my friend got to reel in his first billfish and i got to leader my first one .

    Ill try to post pictures but wouldn't you know i left my camera in the truck. Thank god for camera phones. So i have a picture of my buddy and i holding the fish before releasing him on the boat. And some pictures of my buddy and i in the water at the dock. So ill get them up as soon as i get a hold of them.

    It was good for sails but i didn't see or hear about many whites or blues being caught. My buddy on another boat saw a big bait ball with about for sails working it and got them in the spread but couldn't get any of them to eat.
