Today, we were headed to the gulfstream, but due to a big swell, we decided to stop at the horeshoe and fish for a while. The first bait in the water got smoked by a king mackerel. This pace continued for the next 2 hours. As I was changing baits for the last couple of passes, we hooked a sailfish. 20 minutes later, we released this beautiful creature to fight another day. We also had a school of 8-10 nice cobia follow a king to the boat, and hooked 3, landed 2. All fish were caught on live bait w/ 20 lb. test. We left the shoe around 10:30 and headed to the break. We worked the blackjack and 100/400 for a couple of hours with no luck, then finished up the day bottom fishing. Total tally for the day: 8 king mackerel, 2 cobia, 2 grouper, and a sailfish release.

A most excellent day captain, congratulations!
No dolphin fish, huh? Surprising how those rascals will be all over one day and nowhere the next.

We didn't have the first dolphin bite all day. There were some caught offshore of us a few miles, but we never got bit. Oh well, maybe tommorrow. I'm heading back to the horseshoe in the am.
Guys, I appreciate it. Today was just as good, if not better. 18 king mackerel and 4 dolphin. No sail bites, but we did see one free jump. Maybe we'll get him tommorow.
