Our friend Max Puyanic joined us for another great day of fishing on the L&H! The weather was very nice and conditions were starting to improve so we decided to try for a sailfish. Max loves to catch sailfish more than anything so we spend a lot of time doing it when he is with us! After we got some bait we started fishing right out front. After about forty minutes we had a nice sail come to the kite bait. The fish circled the bait with it's sail up and then ate the goggle eye! As he has done so many times before, Max did everything right and had the sail at boatside for a few photos and a good release! Soon after we added a couple snappers on the deep line and our day was off to a good start! Just before lunch time, Max hooked another sailfish on the kite and just like the first one everything went according to plan. About an hour later the third sailfish of the day came racing up to the short kite bait! The fish gobbled the bait and was off to the races. This sail was determined not to let us get close, but after a tough battle we were able to get the leader and release the tired sail. The conditions for cobia fishing were good so we pulled in the lines and headed over to look for them. We had not been looking for very long when I rode by something that looked promising. As I turned around to investigate further, the cobias came up from the bottom and they were all nice ones! Cobia are muscular brutes and they do not give up without a fight. Every fish we boated was over forty pounds and boy do they fight. We stayed with the school until we had our limit and let the rest swim off. Max was very tired and very excited about the catch! We decided to head in a little early and everyone went home with big smiles and big bags of fillets.
