John, Richard, and James Ellis along with Mark Meranda fish with us every year. They are great guys who enjoy catching anything. I always enjoy fishing with them because they are always happy and know how to enjoy the day. After catching bait we stopped at a wreck and got a few bonitas and a nice king. With better conditions down south we pulled the lines in and made the move. After setting back up we came across a nice school of dolphin. The fish were on the kite at first then we started getting them on the spinners. Everyone was hooked up and fish were coming in the boat fast and furious. In the middle of the dolphin school, Mark hooked a sailfish on the kite, but unfortunately the fish jumped off. With dolphin in the fishbox, things were looking up. We decided to try another shipwreck and got a big amberjack right away. After a couple cudas we ended up losing a few nice fish. James had a big african pompano on for a while, but somehow the leader broke. When the action slowed, a shallow reef was our next stop. The barracudas were relentless. There were snappers there, but the cudas got the bait as soon as it hit the water. Our team was getting them three and four at a time until we finally had to leave or run out of bait. James and Wes put the kites back out and we were soon rewarded with a sailfish triple header and a skipjack. All four of our anglers managed to catch their fish. We put the lines out again and Mr. Ellis got a beautiful twenty-five pound blackfin tuna. It was a great ending to the day. As we were taking in the lines, Mark pulled up a nice snapper. The L&H team had alot of variety and a lot of action. A great time was had by all. Thanks again to Mark and the Ellis family.
