Catching sailfish while nothing was biting aboard Hooked Up

December 30th, 2011

Today we started out fishing with Todd, Katelyn, Tim, Taylor and Tanner all from South Florida.
Once again I must admit fishing was slow not just for us but also for all the boats.
But all the same we set out our kites and suspended live baits from them crossed our fingers and hopped for the best.
As it turned out we were the lucky lotto winners today because a sailfish jumped on our left long kite bait and just like that we were Hooked Up.
Taylor jumped in the chair and the fight was on. After a good 15 min he had his sail close to the boat and Captain Greg held the rod so they could get a photo of this 7-foot plus sail in the water when all of a sudden he took off like a rocket and the fight was on once again. This time Katelyn jumped in the chair trying to get this sail back to the boat. Than Tim jumped in and the whole family was helping. This fish was going nuts and as we finally got him next to the boat we seen why.

It turned out that this fish was not hooked at all it had the line wrapped around it’s bill and was not happy about it. (LOL)
As we got him next to the boat again the line slid off and away he went but not until we got our photos.
Thanks again guys and it was pleasure fishing with you guys just like it’s a pleasure shopping at Publix. (LOL) Talk to you soon Tim.

Captain's Bio: My name is Taco and I run the best Fort Lauderdale fishing charter in South Florida! Heck, you won't have a better time on any fishing boat from West Palm to Miami. Why, because you get a sport fishing captain who has fished the waters of Fort Lauderdale for over 25 years. I know where to fish and how to fish for sailfish, marlin, tuna, dolphin, barracuda and just about anything that has gills. You also get a great time fishing with Hooked Up. We're not one of those stuffy South Florida fishing charters where the mate and captain are stuck on themselves and barely talk to you. We want you to party, relax, or whatever you like to do. Our job is to make your time on Hooked Up the most enjoyable you can have in Ft Lauderdale.
