Reeling in Bonito and Triggerfish: A West Palm Beach Deep-Sea Fishing Spectacle
Right from the start, young Cruz was fired up and ready to go. This was his first time fishing in the ocean, and you could tell he was hooked (no pun intended!) as soon as we started jigging and trolling. It didn't take long before his rod bent hard—he'd hooked into a feisty Bonita that put up one heck of a fight. After a few heart-pounding minutes, he managed to land it, grinning from ear to ear. That first catch really got his confidence going, and he was locked in for the rest of the trip.
Meanwhile, Dad was working some heavier tackle, using live bait and kite fishing techniques to target the bigger offshore species. He reeled in a nice Great Barracuda and a few chunky Little Tunny that had us all cheering. He also hooked into a nice Queen Trigger fish, It was an awesome sight, and he played each of the fish to perfection, getting them safely in the boat.
This Trip is One Click Away
The energy on board was through the roof the whole trip. Seeing the pure joy and excitement on Cruz's face as he caught his first saltwater fish was priceless. And watching the LeRoy family work together, coaching each other and celebrating every catch, made the whole experience that much more special. That's why I love these offshore and deep sea fishing trips—it's not just about the fish, but the memories and connections you make out on the water. Can't wait to get the LeRoys back out here again soon for another unforgettable West Palm Beach fishing adventure!
