Thread: Port St. Lucie

  1. #1

    Default Port St. Lucie

    I was out 10 miles out of Stuart Inlet near Push Button Hill in approx 275 ft
    of water. I was out alone that day fishing. I first had the smaller "cow"
    dolphin on the line and the large"bull" followed her to the boat. after gaffing
    the cow I started splashing the surface with my rod tip while reeling in a
    ballyhoo rigged for trolling. I git the Bulls attention and "strike" had hi,
    on. Took 40 minutes of wrestling him back to the boat and had him boatside
    several times before I could hold the rod in one hand and the gaff in the
    other. I gaffed him and threw him onboard. I was exhausted as I had to manuever the boat, fight back to back dolphins and be gaff man all in the same person. I am 39 years old and have been fishing all my life. The boat is a small 20ft center console named "Sycraft". I have had other good catches but that one was the most memorable.

    WE had him weighed at Finest Kind and he was 48 lbs.

    Noice fish! I liked your technique to lure the bull back after you'd caught his girlfriend.

    I fish out of Stuart Inlet too.
