S. FL Secret sailfish method

[saltshaker30]

My secret sailfish method is pretty simple. Target kingfish.
Seriously today I took out “Web site Mike” for our monthly excursion; we wanted to catch some kings and ceros to make civiche. I proceeded to ge the prime baits little pilchards. Then rigged few 12 and 15 lb set ups with a shot of wire leader.After chumming livies for about 20 minutes bingo a nice sail.
This happens all to often. The moral of the story sailfish are in alot closer than we fish and like to eat small baits.







Till next time “Run that Dog” and “Happy Bait”!

I was fishing a King Mac tournament a couple of years ago and I was letting a live pogie out when the sail hit it. the fish almost spooled the reel before we could get the rest of the lines cleared. I was seeing dollar signs until the fish went airborne and I could see what it was.

Nice job on the Sail, they are starting to show up. We went 2 for 4 on Tuesday off Boca just fishing from 3-5 in the afternoon.

Some great shots...pretty work!
Cero and or king for ceviche...?? I'd think they'd taste a lot like Charmin with all the sewer outfalls in that area...marinated raw reef critters...be careful.
