Ashley's Suprise

Jack Wilson has fished on the L&H about fifteen times and knows are operation well. This time he gave his daughter Ashley a suprise trip and wanted her to have a memorable day. Bait came easy
and we were headed to the edge in no time. We put the kites out and before all the baits were in the water Ashley was hooked up to a sailfish! What a start! The L&H turned and chased the wild fish and Ashley got the fish to the boat in a couple minutes then Greg and Wes released Ashleys first sailfish. We put the baits back out and immediately started getting kings and bonitas. There was a good north current so I knew it would only be a matter of time before we would raise another sail. Less than an hour after setting up, a sailfish was chasing a live gogle-eye on the right long and the L&H hooked up again. Our lady angler did great and we soon had our second release of the day. Only a few minutes after we reset a big king jumped all the way out of the water on the left middle. Jack watched as only a proud father can, as his daughter again battled a big fish. After a tough battle Greg grabbed the leader and Wes gaffed the thirty-eight pound kingfish. After Jack and Ashley added a few more kings we had our limit and moved out deeper. Our team caught three nice blackfin tunas one after another, a nice dolphin and another sailfish and it was shaping out to be another great day. When the action finally slowed I decided to try fishing by a shipwreck. Ashley and Jack soon found themselves tied into a double header amberjack. After they boated the twin forty pound fish we set up again and were rewarded with another double. We needed one more to have our limit and it was Ashley who was up to the challenge. This fish proved to be tougher, but after fifteen minutes she had the seventy-five pounder in the boat. By now everyone was worn out and the L&H headed for home with a box full of fish and three sailfish flags flying! Thanks Jack and Ashley for a great day and we look forward to seeing you soon.
