Newlywed Couple Enjoy Two Days of Fishing and Catching
This Newlywed Couple Enjoyed Two Days of Fishing and Catching! Sharon and Andrew Woodruff, both engineers from the Philadelphia, PA area spent a little over two weeks on the Islands. First stop was Maui where they spent a week touring and enjoying a little down time. Then here to Kona for more adventure and a little deep sea fishing. The first day out we found the jackpot. We had heard of bait holding at C Buoy and headed there. Not to be disappointed! We picked up several on the troll and then changed over and did several deep drops. We had a wonderful day pulling in 11 small Tunas. The largest tuna was brought in by Sharon and was about 15 pounds. Adam was happy to fillet the tunas and send them home with Sharon and Andrew to enjoy. The next day they called back and having decided that was the most fun they’d had on their trip so far, they wanted to go out again. Later in the week we went out on another trip. Today we headed offshore to an area where we had some activity the previous day. The first part of the day was a little slow and we commented that we just want a bite! Soon after that the bite turned on! Sharon is on the first fish of the day! We have a nice Mahi Mahi to the boat . With lines back in the water we stay in the area and make a few more passes and we soon have another bite! Andrew is in the chair and lands the Mahi Mahi in just minutes. His is not as big as Sharon’s….see a pattern here? I go with Lady Luck every day of the week! As we were leaving the area and heading back to the harbor we had yet another chance. We are Hooked Up again! Sharon brings in the last fish of the day and she holds the record for the largest fish each day! Their hopes were to catch the prized pacific Blue Marlin. I’m thinking there may have been a challenge proposed for the next time they come to Kona. They sent us a nice message before leaving the Island headed home to PA and told us they had a great time and it was definitely one of the highlights of their honeymoon. We hope to see them for many Anniversaries to come…
