It's that time of year again when bragging rights at the dock come in the form of "slammers" (Mahi Mahi; Dorado; Dolphin over 25 lbs.). We stole the show with this 46 1/2 pounder on Monday. Added to the big bull was a 34# cow, 7 teen-agers (fish 15-22 lbs) and 6 schoolies.
Wednesday was almost as good and in some ways, better. After visiting other marinas we saw lots and lots of schoolies and very few "gaffers". Our clients wanted BIG FISH and we accomodated them with a 25 & 20 pounder. The schoolies were released.
So, if you are planning a fishing trip to the Keys, check our website at Capt. Pips and ask for Capt. Gator on PaPa Pip.
Pictured are David, Capt. Gator, and Bryan. Thanks to David (mate) for his expertise in rigging and Client Bryan for getting the fish to the boat. I can only take credit for getting in the right area. Thanks Guys!
Nice fish, Captain Gator!
ReplyDeleteWe are looking forward to our annual trip to Captain Pips in just a few weeks--we're expecting big things this year!
If you just "discovered" this blog, Captain Gator is one of the best...we enjoy our days fishing with him and his mate, David, every year. They always work very hard to make our days great...
Captain Gator is the best of the best, once you go out fishing with him, You'll never want to be on land!!!
ReplyDeleteGator, I echo the statements above. I've been to Pips 4 times over the years and "Gator" has always put us on fish: from blackfin to dolphin to triple tail to sails.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling well buddy and I'll be back in October.
