Sailfish and dolphin really turned on today. We fished for a half day and after a slow first drift, things got real exciting. The dolphin we caught were 5 and 10 pounds and were by themselves. The depth was 200 - 300 feet and live herring was the bait. On our next drift, in 330 feet, both the bow and stern rods got hit (live herring) and we were fast into a double header sailfish. Douglas Jones of Miami Shores fought his first sail on a 20# spinning outfit, while is Dad, Ray had his on a 12# spinner. The fish went in opposite directions after the initial hook ups which made it even more exciting as there were several boats very close to us. A big THANK YOU to both boats who made way for us and allowed us to catch both fish. Several boatside photos of each fish were taken before they were released.<br><br>Captain Dave Kostyo<br>Knot Nancy Fishing Charters<br>305 620-5896 Charter<br>305 732-2628 Beeper<br>www.rnfl.com/knotnancy<br>nkostyo@bellsouth.net<br><br>
