Fishing this Weekend

This weekend I was fortunate enough to go fishing with Steve, Mark, Charlie, Steve’s father and my father. It was a beautiful day. There were some really nice rips and weed lines offshore. We didn’t have much luck offshore so we moved back in off the blue roof north of Hillsboro. We ended up going 2 for 2 on sails without the kites up. They were hitting sardines. My father caught his first official sailfish and it was the first sailfish caught on Steve’s new 39 Invincible.

 

Great day
