Catch of the Day

Still beautiful weather and still beautiful blue water offshore. We are having to work for it a bit, but we are caught more Mahi-Mahi again today. There is a lot of scattered weed and too many “throwback ” dolphin, but if you work it you can come up with a...

We had a full day charter today. Only two people and they had fished with me before. We started out fairly close to Key West, I didn’t want to overrun the fish. It’s been difficult because we are still catching a few Mahi, but one day they are inshore and...

We had 2 trips today and it proved that fishing can change from morning to afternoon on the same day. I was not the Captain today. I took the day off and had a good friend and had Capt. Craig Jiovani. Capt. Craig is a good captain with lots of experience. Until he...

Starting to feel really “snake bit” lately. We were offshore dolphin fishing today and we missed another Blue Marlin. Actually, I shouldn’t say we missed. We definitely hooked it. Unfortunately, it also “chewed” through the leader. It...

Fished a full day today. We didn’t do much until we got out deep. We kept going South until we were out past the “Wall”. The “Wall”, also known as the  “Drop off” or “Woods Wall”, is about 17 miles south of Key...

We had a full day today. Same people as on yesterdays charter. The weather has gotten much better for the fishermen, but the fishing hasn’t. The seas were very calm and the sun is getting hot, too hot for early June if you ask me. We didn’t have a lot of...

We are still catching Dolphin, but it is slowing down a bit. The weather is actually getting nicer. The wind has dropped off so instead of the of 6-8 ft seas we had last week, today the seas were only about 1-2. Much less bouncing around. Unfortunately, as I have...

Taking a few days off to go up to my hunting camp and fill up the feeders. I only have a small window to go up, It’s a busy time of year, but that’s good. I’m not complaining. but I haven’t been up for about 6 weeks and I know all the barrels...

We only had a half day trip today. Conditions have been about the same all week. A strong east current up against a strong east wind with an amazing color change on the edge. We had good conditions for both dolphin and sailfish today. We have been mostly dolphin...

There has been some Sailfish and dolphin around lately. Offshore has been good dolphin fishing for the last week or so. Most of the best fishing has been in relatively close. 300-500 ft of water has been the most productive. There have also been some Sailfish on the...

It’s been a great week of fishing. Now to most people, any week you get to go fishing every day would be a great week no matter what you are catching. When it’s your job, it’s a little bit different. I still think my job is fun. I still enjoy the...

We had a slight change in the wind today. Instead of being due east or a little southeast, the wind backed up to the Northeast about midday today. That doesn’t seem like it would make much of a difference, but the dolphin fishing started out very good and then...
