Today our good friend and long time customer, Max Puyanic, came to fish with us. I decided to let Jim run the boat and Travis and I would work the cockpit. After getting bait, we ran to the south to start fishing. We had good conditions and after the first bait went over the side, we started getting bites. At first we had a few kingfish bites and then a big blackfin tuna jumped out of the water and ate the right middle kite bait. Max made quick work of that fish and the L&H was off to a good start. Max caught a nice sailfish a little later and then the action slowed. Our plan was to head farther south to see what we could find. We were rewarded for our efforts when we came across a nice school of permit. Max and his fishing partner for the day, each boated a permit, and we secured the two fish per day limit. Now it was time to try something else. Jim ran the boat back to the area where we started our trip. The water was still nice and Trav and I put the kites back up. Again bites started coming shortly after the baits went out. At first a couple sails, then another nice tuna. Just before it was time to head in, a big fish ate the left long kite bait and took off on a long run. After a tough fight we gaffed a forty pound wahoo! It was a great day with lots of good eating fish!
