The Sailfish "100"
The
sailfish season has just started. With the cooler weather here, the
sailfish are coming down from the northeast in droves! Captain Trent was
fishing Sunday and told me there are sailfish “all over the place”!
Call Captain Trent at 561 324-627 and let him know who in your department would like to help us catch 100 sailfish this season, or for those who don’t like to fish, take a cruise on the intracoastal waterway.
We'll be tracking Sailfish catches over the course of the season and include pictures of each angler as well as the number of their catches.
