On the 2nd, we caught 3 sails, king mackerel of 20 and 30 pounds, 3 school size kings and a couple dolphin. That night Brad Vince and a friend, Kevin caught tarpon of 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 pounds.
On the 3rd, the John Folker family fished the morning with us and caught 4 dolphin fish and 6 king mackerel.
The 4th produced 8 sailfish, 3 African pompano of about 30 pounds each, ˝ of a 50 pound amberjack (Fan Fan thought it was a big bait), 6 barracuda, 1 king and 2 dolphin for the boys from Calder.
