Vance Dato drove down from Dallas to battle some giant fish in the Gulf of Mexico. He was on a mission to fill his cooler with fillets and he made that real clear on the phone! He brought his girlfriend Nina, son Chase, and friend Darryl. We ran 35 miles and caught bait, then bump trolled them around structure for kingfish. All the kings were from 37 pounds to 42 pounds with Nina catching the biggest one. Ran a little further for AJ’s and had no current and struck out on that deal, we dropped a bait to the bottom in 256’ of water and Darryl caught a nice Warsaw Grouper that had him pinned on the gunnel for a bit, it was a great fight. Right after that we put out 2 live blue runners and bump trolled those around for all of 5 minutes until a giant dorado smokes the long line. Vance gets on the reel and 25 minutes later we gaff a 43lb 6oz dorado. Caught a quick limit of snapper on the way in and made it the Fishing Center to weigh his dorado. Vance was entered in the STAR Tournament and is the current leader with his dorado! To book your trip with Capt. Bill call 281-300-5806 today. Until next time...
Tightlines,
Capt. Bill
