Fish Killgore

I called up Captain Rick for a last minute trip over Labor Day weekend. My girlfriend wanted to catch dinner, but also didn't really want to spend an entire day fishing. I called up Rick originally looking for just a half day, but while talking to him, he told me about all the other activities he does: snorkeling, spearfishing, lobstering, diving - basically anything we want to do. That easily convinced me to book the full day instead. We spent the first few hours snorkeling and enjoying the scenery while hunting for lobster. Rick showed us how to catch lobster, but unfortunately the jellyfish moved in before we could find some to try for ourselves. Afterwards we went out to the wrecks to drop for some grouper or snapper. We had a bite on every single drop we did, but unfortunately we lost every suspected grouper and snapper. We still had a blast catching a bunch of sharks and bonito. After that, we went off to the reef to troll for some cero mackerel. We got tons of blow ups on our baits, but only put the hook into one. Suddenly, though, my bait started getting nervous. A sail appeared behind the bait, and next thing I know, Captain Rick sets the hook on a giant sailfish! I fought it for about thirty seconds, but unfortunately it threw the hook on a tailwalk. I had a fantastic time with Rick. He was willing to teach you as much as you wanted, or to simply do it for you. Rick even stayed out for some extra time since he wanted to put us on some food fish. If you want a great guide that loves being on the water and teaching people, I highly recommend Rick.
