Chuck Wagner of Chaska, MN fished with me on the L&H eight years ago and we had a great day. So I was very excited when he booked us to try his luck again. Chuck ended up coming by himself and with beautiful weather I knew it would be an awsome day. The bait came easy and we anchored on a shallow wreck. Before we could get all the lines out Chuck was hooked up. For the next hour Wes and I worked fast and furious to keep baits in the water as our angler enjoyed bent rods (often several at a time)! When we left the spot we had our limit of kingfish up to 25lbs, released several others, and Chuck did a great job catching and releasing a big sailfish on twelve pound test! Now it was time to look for bigger game. While Wes got everying reorganized and regrouped I steered the L&H toward a deep shipwreck. Once again Mr. Wagner did a great job muscling up big amberjacks (to sixty pounds) from the deep, with heavy tackle, until we had our limit. With a little more time left in the half day trip, I suggested we try one more spot to see if we could find something different. It was our day! As fast as Wes could get a bait down, we got bit. We added a half dozen almacos, a beautiful twelve pound snapper, and a nice tuna to the now full fishbox! It was one of those days where everything goes right and the Wes/Chuck team performed like a well oiled machine! Thanks again you guys for all the hard work. I hope Chuck will be back with us on the L&H before another eight years go by!
