Seguy Family Trip

We hosted the Seguy family from Grenoble France for an afternoon of fishing fun. Eric and his son Robin were going to do the fishing while Marlene and her daughter enjoyed the bright sun and calm seas from up on the flybridge. Our plan was to do some wreck fishing in hopes of finding something big for the father son team to pull on. When the L&H crossed over the reef edge into the deep we were greeted with beautiful cobalt blue water. Wes, Greg and I decided to troll for wahoo on our way south to the shipwreck. After the boys set the lines we got bit immediately! After a good battle Eric Seguy boated a beatiful twenty-five pound wahoo, much to the delight of his family. Less then fifteen minutes later another reel started screeming and now it was Robins turn to see if he could match his fathers catch. This fish took alot of line and put up a tougher battle. After a tough battle we had the fish to the boat and Wes and Greg did thier job perfectly and put the thirty pound wahoo in the boat. By now we reached the shipwreck and we were ready to try for sometheing bigger. The action was fast and furious for the next hour as Eric and his son were hooked up almost nonstop. The father and son landed many large amberjacks to seventy pounds including some on spinning tackle. With a little more time left in the trip, it was time to do some snapper fishing. Again the action was red hot! Every time the rig hit the bottom we got bites. We landed two dozen beautiful yellow eyes in short order and it was time to call it a day. I steered the L&H back home with a very satisfied and tired family.
