anyone wana come out with me to the gulfstream saturday?

looks like good weather.

either this saturday or maybe next friday?

Weather has been awesome very calm out there and the bite is on. Too bad I'll be in naples

I wish I could go on Sat...
I had an opportunity today but I found that out way too late... I plan to go to fish city pride for afternoon trip...not sure what I can catch...
Of course, I am bringing my VJ

I went on Fish City Pride and was skunked... and worse... I lost spool cap on stradic 8000. really don't know what happened...so no VJ..
I did flat line for King. Currently was almost dead. Wind was moving the boat.
I got two cut off...one cut off was done over my soft wire... that's all I got for fun... A guy told me morning trip caught one cabia, @ 50LB.
Boat-provided frozen sardines didn't look like good bait. (Next time, I would bring my bait)

A guy in the back caught three decent Kings, just like 1, 2, 3 straight during first 30 min or so. Cap told he was using "XYZ" rig.
I checked out his set-up and put it into my photograph memory....LOL

Good luck with Gulf Stream !!

thanks. i called today he said king bite and yellowtail has been good. haller if anyone wants to go

I would like to go but i have a bum knee, taking a long time to heal. I usually go on the Sea King in Marathon, but would like to try the gulfstream since it is closer to home. Not to sure about the rotation deal they use, but sounds like you always do real well. Maybe next time I will go.

2 kings on vertical jig. A cero. A yt and a wahoo.

Victor got a cero on the jig. And 4 or 5 nice yellowtail

Awesome!!!

did you catch wahoo on VJ?

we need pics!!!

Yea what he said, I was just about to text u and see if you had pics, i passed up on some wahoo today it was too expensive I needa get down there and put one in my freezer

Nice work, guys...Love the wahoo when they light up when caught fresh

Damn son u a boss on the jig.. I'm suprised nobody else on the boat has tried to copy your ways lol

excellent video!!!

Yes. Great catch and video. Jared maybe consider only fishing on boats?

Thinking of going out on gulfstream any advice??

Go with one of us that regularly goes lol.
If not... a light inshore style rod but with a little backbone and 4000-5000 series spinning reel specifically for sandballing yellowtails.
Don't need bait and if you want a jigging rod for vert jig. And maybe one bigger spinner combo for kings and whatever else
If u want to troll there is opportunity on the way out/in

Watch What Carter And Lemont do And copy. Two black dudes older always on there.

Don't sit in fluffs seat

15 lb mono no braid

Don't take a reel u don't mind getting sand on

30 to 50 lb bottom rod If ur into muttons and grouper in season

But takes getting used to their sandball rotAtion.

i expect tail bites are a little slow at the moment...

Very awesome. Nice job dude.

Tail bite was good I just didn't have patience to wait in line
