Holcombe's Catch Variety


Greg Holcombe and his family are great friends of ours and have been fishing with us on the L&H for a number of years, always with great success. Greg and his daughters Annie and Katie joined my mates Greg and Wes, my daughter Laurel and I for another action packed, variety filled day of fishing on the L&H. We started off kite fishing and kingfish were eating our baits as fast as we could get em out. In short order we had our limit including a thirty-five pounder that seven year old Laurel caught all by herself. Just before we finished with the kings Katie landed a monster sailfish over eighty pounds. We then moved to a deep shipwreck and quickly caught our limit of amberjacks to fifty pounds and a big barracuda. After that I steered the L&H north to another shipwreck where we had almost nonstop action with nice almacos, including several double headers! With a little bit of time left in the trip it was time to try for some snappers. The L&H stopped over a rockpile and soon we had several tasty yellow-eye's in the box. Just before we headed for home Katie and Annie hooked sometheing much larger than the snappers we had been catching. After a tough battle the girls got a beautiful golden hammerhead up to the boat wich we quickly photographed and released to fight another day! I would like to thank Greg Holcombe and his family for being some of our best customers and friends! I can't wait to see what the next trip on the L&H will bring!
