The fishing continues to be excellent! Lots of Mahi-Mahi is being caught inside 300 feet. The Mahi-Mahi continue to push south. Seems like the fish that we did not get this summer are here this Autumn. Look for birds working debris and sargasum. Best bet is to have plenty of live bait and chum the fish up to your spread. There continues to be lots of reports of Sailfish being caught also. Some anglers are getting up to 10 catches a day. Mixed with all this frenzy of pelagic there are also Wahoo being caught by some anglers who opt for high speed trolling. The reef as usual continues to provide anglers with plenty of Yellowtail Snapper, King Mackerel and Grouper. Some anglers are also opting out for the Mackerel bite in shallower waters.
