Early Spring - Sailfish are IN!!

Captain Wayne’s Fishing Report

The past few weeks we have experienced an increase in daytime sailfish action, with multiple hook ups and releases on nearly every trip. The sails are moving to the south usually between 80 and 200 feet of water, along a color change edge. When we have a northerly swell condition, the fish can be seen tailing down the waves, sometimes in groups with as large as 5 to 10 fish! The best baits to present are any live bait you can catch. Herring, pilchards, and Goggle-eyes top the list. Scattered kingfish, dolphin (Mahi-Mahi), bonito, and bottom fish such as mutton snapper are also being caught.
The best fishing right now has been the night trip. Many nights we are catching near limit amounts of yellowtail. Small bluefish, blue runners, and other assorted panfish fill out the catch.

Remember,we specialize in quality personalized charter trips for up to 100 passengers at a time! Corporate, club, school, or family grous as well as bachelor parties have used our services. Contact us so we may quote you our rates.

Give us a call to reserve your spots, we look forward to serving you!

December Fishing Report

The cool winds of December have finally arrived after an almost endless summer! With the change has come a wonderful array of fish to our area. Spanish mackerel are swarming our inshore reefs, while larger kingfish and sailfish migrate on their southerly routes. Mutton snappers and yellowtails are also turning on with the cooler waters.
The mackerel are biting everything from trolling lures to cast and retrieve jigs and plugs, and cut bait when they arrive in the chum line. Small live bait will drive them crazy at times, but getting these baits can be harder than catching the mackerel!
Kingfish are biting the usual ballyhoo or sardine on a three hook rig, with 1 to 4 ounces of lead in the front, or a jig of similar size. We are finding these in 80 to 180 feet of water.
The sailfish seem to show up strong with a front, especially when the North current rips come inshore to less than 200 feet of water. This creates a northerly swell (from the north) that the sailfish will surf down, making them easy to see, and get baits in front of. We fish flat line live baits, and also suspend live baits from a kite, on 20 to 30 lb test line.
The night fishing has been spectacular at times, with impressive catches of yellowtails, mixed in with mutton and mangrove snappers. Small bluefish, and an occasional kingfish rounds out the night action.

With the holiday season upon us, be sure to reserve your spots in advance, as we tend to get VERY busy. We will honor those on a first come, first serve basis.
Also remember that we specialize in group charters, everything from corporate events to bachelor parties! In addition to our larger boats that carry over 6 passengers on private events, we can provide everything from fancy sportfishing boats to hot, high speed outboard openfishermen. Call us at the office with your request, and we will quote your trip for you.
I promise, we do not disappoint!
Seasons Greetings, and Tight Lines!
