Girls Rule

Kathy Banks has fished with us before and this time she invited her friend Diana Decker. The girls didn't mind what they caught as long as they could take some fish home. After catching bait we decided to try some kite fishing and it seemed to be the right choice. As soon as the kites went out we began catching kingfish and bonitas. Diana definately had the hot hand with the big fish and landed three kings between thirty and forty pounds. The average size of our fish was almost twenty pounds and at only ten in the morning we were well on our way to another great trip. With the kingfish and bonitas out of the way I decided to see if we could find a permit for the girls. Almost immediately we found a hungry fish and Greg delivered a perfect cast. Kathy battled the tough fish for nearly thirty miniutes only to have the hook pull out just feet from the boat. None the less we resumed our hunt and found another fish that was looking for an easy meal. Diana battled the big permit for thirty-five miniutes and this time luck was on out side and we boated the thirty-five pound beauty. Without wanting to push our luck I told Kathy we wouuld try to find one for her. Before long the lucky ladies were again hooked up to a big, strong permit. Kathy showed her experience with the rod and boated the thirty-three pounder in only twenty miniutes. While the girls took a break, I drove the L&H to a deep shipwreck and in no time the girls were doing battle with double header amberjacks. In what seemed like the blink of an eye we had our limit of the powerful amberjacks and decided to try and get a sailfish for Diana. We put the kites back up and in and hour and thirty miniutes of nonstop action the two girls landed two big blackfin tunas, several bonitos and three big sailfish including the first two for Diana! It was an amazing day and an amazing catch for our two lady anglers and one that will not soon be forgotten. Thanks again girls and we look forward to seeing you soon.
