Give a child a fish, feed him for a day; teach him to fish, feed him for a lifetime; teach him ethical angling, and protect his ability to fish for generations to come!

Boynton Beach Summer Camp Fishing Trip - 3 Aug 2010





Yesterday Capt Rich and I took the Boynton Summer Camp camper out fishing on the boat. We took the first group out at 9:00am and we set up in front of the inlet in 115ft. The bite was on right away and the kids landed a handful of big bonitos using sardines and squid. The second group went out with us at 11:00am, and we set up in the exact same spot. We chummed with the bonitos and right away we got a massive hit which almost spooled one of the kids. 20 minutes later we had a 30lb kingfish in the boat. Just as everyone calmed down, we got another huge hit. This fish too almost spooled the reel. We got most of the line back and then it took another run. Almost 30 minutes later we saw the kingfish and another 10 minutes later the fish was in the boat. This kingfish weighed in at 35lbs. The third trip was just as exciting. We were all thinking of fish we would want to catch to add to our already great day. The one fish which was not on the wish list hit right away, and we had a dolphin fish in the boat. The kids caught a remora and some more bonitos to end the trip. The kids, as well as us, had an amazing day and everyone went home with plenty of fish for dinner.
