Clean blue water and plenty of fish have finally arrived. There has not been much current, however, all it took to jump start the fishing was clean water. With the blue water and the latest cold (cool) front, the sailfishing action has been excellent. Throw in plenty of dolphin (mahi-mahi) along with some kingfish and you have the makings of typical South Florida fishing for this time of year.
Tuesday, Matty Jimenez along with his dad, Pablo experienced some excellent dolphin and sailfish fishing. The wind was from the NNW/N @ 14 - 20 knots. The edge was inside of 100 feet. The action was so hot and furious that all we could do was fish flatlines. There was no time to get the kite or downrigger lines out.
Wednesday, it was Skip and Jimmy Selle along with their friend Joe Kovac. This day's wind was from the E @ 7 - 14 knots. The good action continued with sailfish on the kite, kingfish on the downrigger, and dolphin on the kite.
Thursday, it was Matty and Pablo Jimenez back for round two. Winds today were NNW/NNE @ 14 - 16 knots. Neither angler had seen the kite in action before. With some quick instruction, Pablo took to tending the kite baits like a pro. It paid off quickly with a dolphin. Then the flatline and once again with the kite. The downrigger gave us action on kingfish, but the hook pulled at the boat.
All this action took place from the north anchorage buoy south to the Cuban Hole in 80 - 160 feet of water using live herring and pilchards.
I have dates available so to get in on this action, give me a call and lets get out there and catch some more fish.
