Wahoo and a lot moreMany decade ago Captain Wilson Hubbard initiated trolling on a head boat. Different? Yes! But very popular and productive:Today the Florida Fisherman ll has re-defined the art of trolling from a head boat:Outriggers on a head boat. Now that's serious about trolling. In Central Florida once we close in on depths of 200+ feet be ready for the fight of a lifetime.Did you know that Wahoo have been clocked approaching 60 miles per hour? And they are strong, very strong.:July 2, 2021, Craig, a pharmacist by trade, is proud, very proud:July 9, 2021, Craig is ready for an encore:The mighty Wahoo is so BIG, so fast, two gaffs are needed:Want to learn Crag's secret?Listen closely 18:10 minutes into the following video:https://youtu.be/6eCpNBtRJBkBet you did not know that the all-tackle record Wahoo,  was caught by a woman. On July 29, 2005, Sara Hayward, fishing out of Cabo San Lucas Mexico, out-fought a 184# Wahoo. Craig is putting on a one man how for us. One of the best eating fish to ever swim, the Scamp Grouper:My first experience with Hubbard's Marina was in 1976 on the Florida Fisherman l:The fishing was good, very good. But no better than today. The Mangrove & Vermilion Snapper fishing was, is, very good. However, we had absolutely NO American Red Snapper. You could go for years without seeing a single ARS. Now, once you pass 100+ feet, Red Snapper are often the dominate fish of the reef:These over-night long range Head boat trips can produce huge catches of fish. Equally important is the people we meet. Friends Larry & Estelle love to challenge the creatures of the deep:Estelle, that's one heck of a Porgy:Thank you Estelle, we learned out lesson well:In 1976 the Gag Grouper fishing was excellent.It still is:This is our Florida. Want to catch Wahoo or Kings? The choice is yours:May be a 'little' difficult finding 'all day King Fishing' for $10.00.Late Saturday evening. We have been fishing for a very long time:Back at the dock:Nothing like coming home in the money:In 1976 I was part of 'loading-the-dock.' Today I see the same thing with an added bonus, the American Red Snapper:The fishing was good, very good. But no better than today.credits:IGFAHubbard's MarinaMicrosoft BING
