Thread: Sail off P'cola?

Hey Pier, I saw you posted on facebook a photo of a sailfish... was it caught off the Pensacola pier recently?

:-\
To be totally honest I'm not sure which one that was.
They have been caught from all the FL Panhandle piers recently, caught just off Ft. Morgan (re Jeff Dute @MR) and spotted from and just out from the GSPPier.

That's a 'bucket list' fish fer sure ;-)

:headbang:

a caller to the Outcast Fishing show reported a sail, a bull dolphin and a black fin caught off Pensacola pier yesterday.

Ben Arnold caught the Dolphin and I wanna say Zac caught the Blackfin.

yeah and ben got the 1st one at 25lbs and pier record mahi was broke at 20lb by darld there is lots of cigs and ballyhoo around the pier also seen lots of fish this year there be back at it wed in FL waters :bow:

Many of the sails seem to be popped off at the pier but not all. Certainly would be a thrill to even get a hookup, sort of like I dream of a tarpon hookup.

Are the sails edible?
Yes - I know everything is - but is it something you would normally keep to eat like a king?

Talking to a buddy of mine who had it before he said he would kill every one he ever catches. Apparently they are really good smoked.
