Back To Florida Fishing


Today, we fished with Gabriel Gaber after our long summer of fishing in Hawaii.  I was excited to fish on the L&H again with Jim and Trav.  These guys did a great job for us while we were gone and it made the summer much more enjoyable knowing the L&H was in good hands.  The small bait was very hard to catch, but Jim Trav and I went the day before and caught bait up north so we had plenty.  After running offshore the boys found some frigates and we headed that way.  When I got to the area there were several frigates and some other birds flying around.  Jim and I scanned from the tower as the birds were acting as if there was debris somewhere.  Then we spotted it!!!  A tree branch was floating off the bow and it was loaded with fish.  Gabriel and his gang went right to work.  Before long nice sized mahi were coming over the sides one after another.  When the team finished catching the mahi, Jim and Trav switched to wahoo and immediately got a double.  They followed up with a few more much to the delight of everyone!  What a great start for the L&H with great weather and a bunch of fish first thing.  As everyone regrouped I headed south and found another frigate with a few more nice sized mahi.  Shortly after a big storm came and we headed right into it as we pushed offshore.  After the weather cleared up we found a nice weedline.  Soon they spotted more birds and we got more dolphin by another piece of small debris.  Right after that we caught a few more and decided to head back a little early with a bunch of nice fish!
