East side kings and big amberjack

Capt. Lyndon · 11-08-2009, 08:13 PM

Due to a tip by a friend, I headed to the east side today on a guide trip with friend Bobby Klutz on his 28 Mako. The bite was good, but due to a large amberjack, we didn't get to kingfish long. The first two fish in the box were 22-28 lb kings, and then we had doubled up. One 33 lb. king, and 2+ hours later, we had a 60 lb 4 oz amberjack in the box. We chased the jack almost 2 miles, and then fought him up and down just out of gaff range for a while on 15 lb line and a king mackerel rod. What a fight! I'll have pics in a couple of days when Bobby e-mails them to me. I'll be back on the water tommorow, so stay tuned.

What an experience. I bet that was a trip for the angler batttling that jack on a king rod. Sounds like a good day on the water. Nice ride you guys were fishing

No trip to the gym this week for sure.

We fished on the east side Sunday as well, ended up with 1 Gag(35"), 3 RG's, 5 Scamps, 2 ARS's, and a bunch of pinkies and grunts. We must have caught at least 12 short Scamps and a handfull of short ARS's and Gags.

Fun day, would have liked to see a few more in the box though...
