My good friend and long time fishing buddy Max Puyanic was back on the L&H after a minor surgery. He had a few of his friends with him today and wanted some fish for dinner. Our plan was to look for mahi and try sailfish in the afternoon. Wes spotted a frigate bird and we quickly boated a fifteen pound dolphin. That fish took the pressure off and we knew we had dinner taken care of. A short time later I spotted a bigger fish and Wes made a perfect cast and hooked up. The big bull dolphin raced all over surface with the L&H backing down in hot pursuit! With the fish going strait away from us and the boat backing down hard Wes made a mean gaff shot as water poured over the transom. Several other boats were finding sails so we decided to head for the edge. On the way I stopped the L&H over a shipwreck and we caught our limit of nice amberjacks to make sure everyone got to catch something big. While we were heading north to put the kites up I began to see sailfish tailing like crazy. Single fish, doubles and even a few big packs of sails all tailing down sea. Some would bite, others would just rise up on the bait then fade off but the action was fast and furious. Although we endured a little bit of bad luck we still managed to catch four out of ten bites and saw countless others in just a few hours. It was a great day as always seems to be the case when we have Max onboard! Thanks alot Max, I am happy you are doing better and me and the boys are looking forward to your next trip!
