Good Fishing For Greg and Annie

Greg Holcombe and his daughter Annie fish with us a few times each year and they are some of the nicest people I know. For as long as they have fished the L&H I have enjoyed fishing with them, their company, and having them on the boat. For whatever reason, it always seems to be good weather and great fishing. This time we caught bait and made our way out to the edge. We put the kites out and before we had all the baits in the water we hooked a couple nice dolphin. As we were fighting the mahi, Annie hooked a big sailfish. Over the years I have watched Annie grow up and become a better and better angler. She has a great feel for whatever tackle she is using and knows how to catch big fish. After we boated the dolphin I chased Annie's sail and in no time she had the leader to my daughter Laurel for a release. It was a great start to the day. As is usually the case with the Holcombe family, the fish were biting! We would barely have time to get the baits out and would get bit by something. Greg got a couple of real nice kingfish and we would have steady action with dolphin, bonita, and sailfish. By early afternoon we were three out of six on sails and a bunch of other fish when the wind started really picking up. We decided to make it an early day. Since we already had a good catch of fish and were scheduled to go back out later in the week with the Holcombes, every one was happy to head back in.
