Had a group of guys down from Raleigh for the weekend for a full day live bait trip. The morning started great with flat seas and a light NE wind. The 1st hour we have plenty of action with Mahi, a couple of sharks, hound fish and a nice king that the Barracuda took for breakfast. There was bait everywhere on top and birds diving. Then the winds picked up with a few clouds and everything shutdown. Continued to work and tried a little bottom fishing for a while. Caught a couple grouper and a Mahi on the light line. Moved out to a 25 mile wreck and caught a 45 lb AJ on 20 lb tackle. Great job by the angler this was a tough fish. The winds let off later in the afternoon and the fish started eating again. Caught a few more Mahi and then the long line started screaming. 350 yards went off the reel quickly. After a 15 minute fight we gaffed a solid 25 lb king.
