Weekend Report

LastMango · June 2013

Before anyone bust my balls, I didn't gaff a "hooked up" 1lb Filefish, (being that E$ let out my tasty Filefish secret :nono) After catching a few Filefish for my friends kids, I was showing him and his two sons how you can hang out a piece of bait and gaff a Filefish swimming by...

Very slow weekend on the bite for us, but we did catch Snapper and marginal Mahi, and my friends from the West Coast of Florida had a good time...

The water clarity @ 65ft was really poor, and the Snapper bite on Saturday was non-existent, but on Friday was still pretty good...

I even jigged what is usually a very reliable AJ spot in 225ft (charity fishing for the soup kitchen and wanted to hook up my out of town friends on some decent size fish) and got ZERO AJ's both Friday and Saturday, and that has NEVER happened... The drift at 225ft was blazing, truly blazing, as in 5-6kts...

On Saturday there was a pretty nice rip and weed line at 200 or so and it was holding some Mahi, but nothing of any decent size... Still a good few days on the water...

Nice to have all that room in the back of the boat and the live well there for easy access. I'm jealous.

Great Video. The camera you have takes great video. I was out Saturday and fishing was tough. Ended up fishing in Lake worth lagoon and caught some lane snapper and 1 16" mutton snapper.

Great video!! I especially liked the underwater weeds clips with the tiny bait and mahi. SWEET! NICE RIDE. How do you like the ride of the contender compared to you previous boat. I know I love my Contender, its cuts through the chop like butta!!!

Way better than my old boat, I also had an Intrepid 32, and it kills that also...... Very happy...
