Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) Making A Big Spring Appearance in Florida

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Recently we saw a report out of Sebastian where a fishing team caught 35 dolphin, also known as Dorado and Mahi-Mahi, along with 6 wahoo.  All the fish had some great size to them, including a beautiful 60 pound bull dolphin.  The captain and crew stated to have solid action all day and left the fish biting.  Here are some of the pictures of the credible catch:

Is this a sign of things to come or is this area just not fished enough to draw any conclusions?  In our opinion, the dolphin fishing this year has really picked up.  There have been several big fish reported by the weekend warriors along with the captains all along the east coast.

We look for a good summer of better sized schoolies than we have seen in the past years.  Hopefully most can practice good conservation in order to help preserve this fishery, however since dolphin are commercially caught worldwide, the recreational sector can only do so much.

Bikini Girl Fishing Charter Forced Out Of Marina

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Smokin’ Em Charters of Fort Pierce Florida was told to take there business elsewhere from the local marina after operating their fishing business with women in bikini’s as the crew.  The marina argues that the family oriented marina is not suited for such a business.

The business was using women in bikinis as the mates for the charters.  We are not sure if the women were topless or just in bikini’s, but representatives of Smokin’ Em Charters said that the mates were not exposed while in the marina and were in appropriate attire for a day of fishing.  The weren’t to get into their bikinis until fully offshore.

While out fishing, the women would off all services of a typical mate and staff of the captain of the boat.  From rigging baits to pouring drinks, the women would make your fishing experience pleasurable and one to remember.

The company has been in business for eight years and would like to be back into the popular marina.
