Southbound
Catch of the Day

Successful Hog Hunting Trip While the Southbound was out fishing, I took a quick trip up to my Hunting camp in Glades County Florida. For those of you that don’t know where that is, the directions are easy. You take US 1 North to the Fla. Turnpike, take The Fla....

Mixed bag of Fish Today Today the boat caught a few late season Dolphin to go with our normal winter fish. I say “the Boat” caught them because I took a few days off and went to my hunting camp.  Dolphin are a great fish to catch, but usually, they are...

Our winter fishing has been pretty good. The weather hasn’t been great, still a little chilly. But we are still getting plenty of action and plenty of good eating fish to bring in. The Cero Mackerel are biting very well. They hit hard, fight hard and taste...

The weather is a bit chilly right now. I know that won’t get me much sympathy from most of the world as our chilly is still much warmer than just about everywhere else. But it’s still cold for us. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean the fishing...

Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico The wind was out of the South so the Gulf of Mexico was the calmer waters today. For that reason, we went to some of the Shoals close to the Northwest channel. The Northwest Channel is the main access to the Gulf of Mexico from Key West....
