Catch of the Day

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...

The conditions are still good and the dolphin fishing is still excellent on the waters south of Key West. We have a strong east current, probably associated with the Gulf Stream being in close. This, along with a strong east wind has caused the dolphin fishing to...

Well, this is a bit weird, I had the same people fishing with me Yesterday and today. We had good dolphin fishing both days. Our catch was very similar both days and the customer wore the same “fishing clothes” on both days. So the picture from yesterday,...

It has been a relatively calm May this year. The wind in May is usually pretty strong as we transition from our “winter” weather to our warmer, more humid summer conditions. We expect to see a strong east wind. But this year, we really haven’t had...

We only had a half day trip today. That is 4 hrs from the dock to dock. My customers were more serious fishermen, but because of budget and time constraints, they only booked a half day. Normally, I would suggest a longer trip for more serious fishermen. They...

We had a full day today and my customer wanted to go offshore and look for “Something” big. We headed South hoping to find some good fish. There have been a few good fish around, but you have to cover a lot of water to find them. There has been an...
