This kid on the boat caught some nice fish, Two Yellowjacks ,African Pompano, triggers, and Vermillion among other species. He was catching them on a lure (a Point Wilson Dart). I got to get some of those lures! It was used like a light vertical jig when on the bottom. Cranked like a spoon and even trolled. It was very productive.
As the day went on lot's of Kings, Muttons, Blackfins including one that was 25 pounds. A short grouper, Sailfish on a kite. Even a 7ft tiger shark was caught and released. Vertical jigging wasn't so hot. I managed a 25lb king on the Vertical but that was about it. Adam caught a short Gag on the vertical jig. Long day but a great time. Captain Wayne is a great Captain and always very accommodating. Little Chris was the mate and very cool.
I didn't get a chance to charge my camera the night before so it went dead after a few hours of the trip but here is a video of the morning mahi-mahi .
