firefly · January 2014

[ 5 miles off ponce Monday and this sail puts it to a freelined Cabo 40 what a surprise,i am a inshore guy and this fish about spooled us in a matter of seconds. We got him to the boat in about 30 minutes. What a display of speed!!!!

Awesome, I love it when incredible things happen while fishing.
I have been watching the sst charts and there has been a nice inshore temp break just south of Ponce the past few days.

Awesome catch
glad to finally see an offshore report
seas look pretty calm
What was your target 5 miles out and bait?

Probably kingfish

Just hitting a few bottom spots, (mangos,sheephead,a few snapper etc) enjoying the day. Water temp was 69 and the sail hit a Butterflied grunt.

Wow. That one's full grown, too.

Great job!

Great job on the sail man. Around what time of the day did you notice the 69 degree water? Most buoys are showing 66-67 inshore right now, that 69 temp mark is a very magical number this time of year. Thanks for any info,

Water temp was from 68-69 all morning til about 3:00 when we left he hit around 1:30 ish I would guess it was definitely a experience for this inshore guy what a hoot!!

firefly... I was in the 17' Key West towards your West and was pulling anchor to head in when I saw you hook into the sail. From where I was, it looked like a King. I saw you chasing it down and glad you got it in to get some nice pictures....
