Catch of the Day

The wind was up and the catching was down. It made for a tough day today. It wasn’t horribly windy. it was probably blowing 15-18mph, but it was blowing out of the east and directly against the current. That makes the waves bigger. The seas were about 3-5 ft....

The wind picked up again today. It blew pretty good 2 days ago and then dropped off yesterday. This morning it had breezed up again. Nothing crazy, but enough to make it 3-4 ft seas. Sometimes you get more wind and a bit bigger fish and today was one of those days....

Normally, this time of year, we are offshore fishing for Dolphin and whatever else wants to bite. Really the only other thing to fish for is Snappers and Sharks inshore. I’m willing to do either, it’s my customers choice. Most of the people I have had this...

This week has been good. We are still fishing and the dolphin are still biting. The fishing has been pretty consistent the last week or so. There have been a decent amount of bites and fish from 400 ft of water out to the “Wall”. Most of the fish have been...

It’s been a strange year for fishing and the Dolphin fishing has not been “easy” this year, but we are consistently catching fish. We have been heading offshore most days looking for weed lines, bird activity and other signs of fish. Fortunately,...

Yesterday, I had some great regular customers of mine and as usual, we went offshore fishing for Mahi. I wasn’t sure if they would want to go again today, but thankfully they did. After a brief discussion in the morning, we went back offshore fishing for Mahi....

I have a lot of “regular” customers. That’s one of the great things about this business. After a while, you are not fishing with customers, you are fishing with friends. Today’s group is one of those. They book every year around the 4th of...

The fishing has been pretty good the last few days. Yesterday the snapper fishing was still good. In the morning, we anchored up to catch some snappers for dinner. The yellowtail snappers and the Mangro Snappers have been biting. The spawn this time of year, so if you...

While most of America got to sleep in on the holiday, that is not the way it works for charter boat Captains. Most Holidays are work days and the 4th of July is no different. Things will slow down soon enough when August gets here and back to school begins. So in this...

Fishing was not red hot today, much of the Sargasso weed we have been seeing seems to be drifting out of the area slowly. We didn’t catch a lot of fish in terms of numbers, but we did get a very big bull dolphin early in the day.   Today started out a bit...

We caught a Sailfish today. It was a large one. We don’t kill sailfish, but we measured it for a replica mount and it was 92 inches long. That’s a big one for these waters. Today’s trip was only a 6 hr, and we wanted to make sure everyone caught some...

I’ve been fishing for over 30 yrs. I’ve been out on rough days where the waves were 10-12 ft,(that’s not a lot of fun, by the way), and I’ve seen slick calm days. Today was one of those slick calm days. Not a wave to be seen anywhere....
