Southbound
Catch of the Day

The Southbound had two fishing trips today. We were Reef fishing on both trips. In the morning, it was still blowing a little bit, so we went east to get a little protection from the wind. We anchored behind a couple of reefs that form a pocket that blocks a North...

Some days it’s not what you catch, It’s where you fish and how much fun your customers have. Today, it was all about keeping it calm. We had 3 adorable little girls out on their first fishing trip. Unfortunately, we had a cold front come through the Keys...

Beautiful day for fishing offshore Today was one of those days in Key West fishing was so nice being out there, I (almost) felt guilty getting paid. We had to go a long way to find fish We put our lines in about 16 miles south of Key West. That’s about 750 ft of...

Just a half day Reef fishing trip today Today we went reef fishing for Yellow Tail Snapper and got a couple of nice Cero Mackerel too. The Snappers started out biting very well, but once again the “Tax Man” Showed up, (sharks). Normally, that tends to make...

This is one of the reasons I like to leave early. Usually, I’m one of the first boats off the dock. I like being out there ahead of most of the fleet. I think it gives us a head start or an advantage sometimes. Another reason I like to leave early, Usually just...

Same conditions as yesterday but the results were a little different. Yesterday, the Yellow Snapper were biting well, The Live bait came up relatively easy and we saw a Sailfish almost as soon as we started fishing for one. But the results were different today. Still...

It was a good day today We anchored on the reef trying to get some live ballyhoo. We were hoping to catch a Sailfish and live ballyhoo is an excellent bait. The ballyhoo were not easy, but we caught some nice Yellow Tail snapper for dinner while we were waiting on the...

The Gulf of Mexico has been the best place for fishing for the last few days. We’ve been fishing around the rock piles and shoals and catching some good King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerels. Unfortunately, That will end today as a strong late season cold front is...

The Weather is Fantastic the seas were calm and the sun was warm. It’s starting to feel like summer, but that should change on Tuesday as we have a late season cold front headed our way. The offshore fishing on the Atlantic side is tough. Fortunately, the Reef...

We fished In the Gulf of Mexico again today. The wind is still blowing strong out of the Southeast. Fortunately, the Spanish and King Mackerel are still biting well on the Gulf side. The wind should start dropping tomorrow and should be less through Monday. There is...

The wind has been blowing pretty hard the last couple days. It is coming out of the Southeast. This allows us to fish in relative comfort in the Gulf of Mexico because the Islands block some of the wind. Unfortunately, the Gulf will get too stirred up for trolling if...

The Southbound had an afternoon half day trip today. I’m still at the hunting camp. But I do know that Capt. Jay Weed and 1st mate Ben helped the customers land some nice fish including a big kingfish  I am still hunting for a couple more days. I did not see any hogs...
