OFFSHORE FISHING
Aboard the
BOOMERANG Andrea Duenas We arrived at the Sailfish Marina in West Palm Beach, where Capt. John Krohn and his first mate Matt Richardson greeted us at the stern of the beautiful Boomerang, a 44 foot 1955 all wooden Rybovich. It was a beautiful day, with a small cold front that just arrived causing it to be slightly windy at 15 mph, but did not hinder a successful day of fishing. We got acquainted with each other after boarding the Boomerang getting ready to start our day. Both Capt. John and Matt are Florida natives who have fished the West Palm Beach waters since they were children. Captain John has been captaining Boomerang for 39 years now with Matt being one of his first mates for 3 years. Matt caught his first Sailfish aboard Boomerang in 2004 with his brother Justin, which was one of the many things that sparked his passion for working on fishing boats.
