3/31/2014 0 Comments Double Sailfishtoday was a bit windy again and I noticed a current edge right up to against the reef line as we crossed it. we were trying to get to the deep water where we have been catching mahi and tuna but I became concerned that the mature couple I had on board may not be able to handle the seas. We decided to fish the patches and caught a dozen or so yellowtail. With just an hour left in our 1/2 day I decided to go look for sailfish. we used up the hour and started to bring the lines in when both riggers went off and we were hooked up to 2 sails and we were able to catch both. Nice job on your first sail Dick.

3/28/2014 0 Comments Mahi Mahiit's been extremely windy the last few days and I had to cancel a couple trips because of it. Today was a half day and after my fair warning ken and Spencer felt they could handle the wind so off we went. we caught a bunch of tunas at the hump and they said they'd had enough fun and were ready to head in. Got to about 250 ft and this 20 lbs mahi ate the wahoo lure. Nice finish to a great short day. 
3/25/2014 0 Comments Tag Team
Half day yesterday and we took Scott,his family and his father John out to the hump. Dropped 3 times and caught 3 amberjacks. Kate and her sister tag teamed this one. Caught some big tile fish and porgies and it was time to go home. John hadn't brought a cooler so I sent him to CVS to buy one. Said he didn't we would catch much. he will bring one next time.
3/23/2014 0 Comments Wahootook Owen and father out on Friday. we headed to the islamorada hump and on the way Owen caught this nice wahoo. The sharks were eating every aj we hooked until we finally got one past them. we got the aj close to the boat when a 12ft tiger shark came up behind our fish. an incredible sight!! caught a bunch more fish(away from the hump) and had a great day. 
3/20/2014 0 Comments Tunatried to yellowtail with our folks from Kansas this morning but the bull shark wouldn't let us catch more than one. decided we had fed him enough and ran out to the hump where the blackfin were biting well. plenty of fresh tuna for everyone.
3/19/2014 0 Comments SharksAnother trip to the shark grounds last evening. I get asked almost every evening shark/tarpon trip if there are really sharks this close to the waders and swimmers on the sandbar. The answer is pretty evident as it was last evening after catching our 7 or 8 shark. No tarpon but as soon as the water temp comes up a few degrees they will be biting. 
3/18/2014 0 Comments Big SnowyCaught this 29 lb snowy grouper on Monday. We had caught our limit of big tile fish and porgies and went looking for good size snowy. Jeff and Jim have a lot of fish to pack and take home

I took Jeff, Jim, Walter and Jeremy out on Saturday. we caught an aj after losing several to the sharks and then decided to do some deep dropping for eating fish. As you can see the fish were hungry and nice size.

3/2/2014 0 Comments Snowys And RosesHad Mr Don and CP out on a late half today. They wanted to take some good eating fish back to New Jersey and the deep water fish are some of the best when it comes to eating. We found the snowy grouper and Rose porgys, I fileted them and packed them and they're going to be eating some great fish in New Jersey
