We Want to Share the Excitement of Deep Sea Fishing with You!

Are you an experienced angler or just a beginner? Would you like to do everything from baiting the hook to cleaning your fish or do you just want the thrill of reeling it in? The father and son team of Captain Tris Colket and Tris “T-Bone” Colket will plan the Perfect Fishing Adventure for you.

Your voyage begins not far from Vero Beach, Florida at the Fort Pierce City Marina aboard the beautiful 40-Foot Sport Fishing Boat Last Mango. “We enjoy sharing our enthusiasm for the sport and love of the sea,” says T-Bone. “I don’t know how you could go out on the Last Mango and not get excited! On full day trips you can catch Dolphin, Wahoo, Sailfish, Kings, and Cobia depending on the season and our Overnight Gulf Stream Swordfish Trips make for an awesome experience all year round!”

“We also provide Specialty Trips to the Bahamas in the Spring for Tuna and Marlin and in the Winter for Wahoo,” adds Captain Tris. “We can even arrange Extended-Stay Bahamas Trips where we’ll fish in the azure blue waters of Abaco and Grand Bahama Island.”

“Updating and customizing the Last Mango was a labor of love,” says Captain Tris. With twice the fishing area of any boat our size, it easily accommodates up to six people with lots of room to move around. It has a Large Salon which will keep you dry, comfortable, and relaxed in the shade, yet close enough to grab your rod and reel in the big one!

Capt. Tris Fishing Report
Inshore Offshore Fort Pierce, Florida
Report Updated 4-7-2008

"A Family Fishing Team"

After pinpointing a likely 'weather window' in an otherwise uncooperative and windy week, the Bardi family arrived at the Ft. Pierce City Marina at 7:00 am and, having fished with us before, knew right where to go to find the Last Mango on center dock. We were waiting with ballohoo rigged and a positive outlook on the upcoming day of offshore fishing.

First to board of course was Andrew, the Bardi's 5 yr old son. Shy but enthusiastic, Andrew is an avid angler and lost no time in wandering around the boat checking to see that our preperations were acceptable! Older sisters Lily and Briana stepped on board followed by their parents Alex and Susan. The topic of conversation immediately focused on the incredible thunderstorm we had witnessed the night before. With a great view of the sky, beach and sea out the windows of Vero's Ocean Grille, we had all wondered if there was any chance that we would find acceptable conditions for our fishing trip the next day.

Determination and good vibes prevailed, and with all hands accounted for, we headed offshore in hopes of finding a likely 'condition'  outside of the bar. When we came across a good temperature break just inshore of one of the local wrecks, it was time to slow 'er down and put out the spread. Seas were calm and skies a bit overcast; all in all, more than we could have hoped for after the last week of windy weather. A few bonita bites later, we were still looking for something a bit more exciting when the water errupted behind the left rigger and a gorgeous 'summer sail' proceeded to do his thing.

First angler up was 5 year old Andrew who surprised us all with both technique and tenacity.
An airial acrobat of sensational proportion, his sail was in the air as often as he was in the water and could not have been a more exciting start to our day. Andrew handed off to 8 year old sister Lilly after 15 minutes and the Bardi family's fishing acumen continued to prevail. Minutes later we had an official release and smiles all around.

An interesting rip had begun to form just offshore of us and moving a little deeper, we trolled along scattered weed and other floating debris. We wondered what had happened to our 'April dolphin run', but... oh well, it was a great day on the ocean and we were still optimistic!
The unseasonably cool northwest breeze continued to pick up in velocity and the 'edge' we were following continued to become more pronounced and full of life. Four or five dolphin later we were feeling good about our day and thinking of a great 'mahi dinner' that night. But not one to rest on my laurels, I couldn't get the thought of a sizeable bull dolphin out of my mind. It just seemed like time...............and it was!!!!!!!!!!!

This was what Alex (dad to all these younger anglers) was waiting for! With a deft move toward the covering boards he had a bend in the rod and a large bull hooked up in nanoseconds. A good sized bull dolphin turned sideways on 20lb tackle and still not really aware that he was hooked up was swimming 150' off the transom and we prepared ourselves for an offshore battle of epic proportion. Alex reflected on his freshwater striper fishing background and decided right away that fighting this fish was going to be a bit more demanding than any of his previous encounters. With years of experience and marked angling finesse, this fish didn't stand a chance against Alex, and the Bardi family prevailed again.
We all breathed a sigh of relief when mate Taylor Hansen made the 'perfect gaff shot' and lifted a 40lb bull dolphin into the cockpit. Oh, what a fine day it was.

****Look for good dolphin fishing in these rips, edges, color changes and weedlines that often form offshore in 80'-320' of water throughout the spring months and sometimes into the summer.

Catch'em up!
