Did go out yesterday and caught a few nice kings, a couple (3 1/2 and 4 foot) barracuda, and some bait. The most fun, though, was catching the blue runners for bait on ultra-light gear. Man, the action was fast and furious and they had a lot of spunk in them of 8 - 12 inch fish. We had fun.<br /><br />Now we just have to get together with Snapper! Maybe this weekend. Time will tell.

We found them under a bankrupt cruise-booze-and loose ship that is anchored about 1/2 mile off the beach in about 25 feet of water. They were a blast to catch. Also picked up a remora (sp?) that was about 18 - 20 inches in the middle of the blue runners. That puppy fought like crazy.

I swear.. I think Aspeck put a hex on me!... :eek: :D <br /><br />Things that have happened since the Aspeck crew's been around...<br /><br />#1. Monday, it was the boat tranny... :( <br /><br />#2. The post office lost an important package (fishing reel).... :rolleyes: <br /><br />#3. This afternoon, the truck's battery dies... AND, sliced my finger while swapping batteries...... :mad: <br /><br />I'm wondering what's next?... :p <br /><br />In all seriousness.. I'm glad Aspeck and crew got out on the big pond a caught some fish... :) Got my fingers crossed in hopes that we'll get out on the drift boat on saturday.. :)

WOW! What a day! 3 sailfish in the boat (Snapper caught the biggest one). Had 2 on at one time at one point, but one of those got off. A couple nice kings, a bunch of nice bonito. Yea, it was a good day, we had a lot of fun, the shirts Snapper was making for me turned out real nice, and Snapper ain't so bad - for a south floridian! Yea, we had a good time and caught some nice fish!

I think Capt Rob may be putting some pictures up of our fish at some point. He was a great Captain/Guide and says he is going to be checking out iBoats soon for some new gear. Once he gets our pics ready you can see them on his website. Capt. Rob's place
