Kingfishing

Time for some offshore fishing. My cousin and I take his 19 foot Sea Fox bay boat offshore to see what we can get trolling. The 8A reef out of Port Canaveral does well by us, 5 kingfish on the day, we kept 1 for some dinner. Caught on ballyhoo and diving plugs, this reef is very productive. We go another 10 miles east, and end up hooking with our first bull dolphin. Getting it to the boat, we see it's a good 3-4 feet, probably 30-35 pounds. It turns and runs, got a little slack in line and spit the 2 hooked ballyhoo. Now, I feel the dolphin-fish taunting me every week, and am just biding my time to finish the job of landing a bull.
