Gray Taxidermy expects a lot of Sailfish to be caught and mounted

The Sailfish season is around the corner; however, we are catching two to three Sailfish a week here in Fort Lauderdale FL, which held true again for one of our anglers, Richard Pontin from the UK.  Mr. Pontin along with friend, John Wesolowych, chartered the Happy Day Today along with the Topshotfishing team to do some deep sea sport fishing off of Fort Lauderdale FL.  Both being experience anglers, Richard told me stories about his fishing trips in Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, where I have also fished a few times. 

We started fishing at the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale FL with one plainer down, with a 3 ½ blue reflector drone spoon.  For surface baits we went with two Ballyhoos, three Bonito strips and a Ballyhoo dredge teaser.  We trolled around one of the 34 artificial wrecks we have here in Fort Lauderdale FL ranging from 35 ft. wrecks to 400 ft. wrecks in length and in 65 ft. of water out to 420 ft.  As I trolled over ten different wrecks within a two mile radius, we caught 1 Sailfish, 3 Tunas, 5 Kingfish, 13 Bonitos and 1 Barracuda.
