Francesca gets her sail and much more

Barry Fine and his daughter were referred to us by a good friend and they wanted a sailfish bad. Barry and his daughter Francesca along with friends Laura and Ben definately had good timing. A couple of boats saw sails in the morning and with good conditions I felt confident we would have a good afternoon. After catching bait, we crossed the edge and were greeted with beautiful water and good north current. Wes quickly got the baits out and from my perch in the tower I spotted a nice school of mahi. Delight soon turned into frustration as the school of about twenty-five keepers would not bite and we managed to only get three of them. Now it was back to our goal for the day, a sailfish for Francesca. In a span of fifteen miniutes we raised three sails and none of them would bite, I began to wonder what was going on. I did not have to wonder for long. A hungry sail grabbed the right short kite bait and Fran had her fish! Laura then hooked one on the middle and both girls caught and released nice sails. As soon as we set back out we got bit again, and over and over! For the next two hours it was nonstop action, fighting fish and alot of smiles. In a little less than three hours the L&H and its team went twelve for twelve on sailfish, three mahi, two big kings and ten mackeral. It was by far the best sailfish bite of the year for us and with a good east wind we are looking forward to more of the same for the next few months.
