This is one of just many posts at Allcoast private boaters the guys aree just slaying the fish down south.

Picked up the panga this morning at 3:30am. This time I had one of the club deckhands on board to ensure we would find the fish.
After baiting up with some sardines and chovies we left the harbor at 4:15 we ran 180 at 25 mph for about 40 minutes we were just past the islands and Robby (our deckhand) said "time to fish" I wanted to go straight to the 425 but decided not to argue.
With-in 15 minutes we had three bent rods on green and yellow, two fish on board 20 and 25#. Just 3 miles south of the islands. Started trolling for another set of bent rods with-in ten minutes. Boarded two 25#. Started chumming and found ourselves in a sea of foam and only two boats in the area. Never seen anything like it. All four of our reels screemed for a solid 30 to 40 minutes limited in 1 hour 20 fish. Biggest fish 33# and of course it was mine. I will tell you now. when the fish are biting. Having a good deckhand on board is the only way. The fish would hit the deck and robby would shove another rod in you hand and say "FISH MAN FISH" baited and ready to go. Then kill your fish, bleed it and ice it right away. That impressed me even on a 26ft boat proper fish handling is important to me. They carried a lot of ice and and I like that to.
"thumbs up for kingpanga".

Amazing fishing going on down there.

Tight lines Jim
