On morning trips we head out putting a 6-7 rod spread out,

We set baits out at different depths using planners and cigar leads. Wahoo and nice black fin tuna has been a steady action. Targeting these fish in 120-650 ft of water is usually where you find most fish in the winter time months.

You find mahimahi along the reef this time of year.

Head 10-20 miles offshore is not necessary in the winter.

When you do hit some mahimahi you find big schools either.

On these months though is when you'll find your bigger fish 20-60lb are common in small schools of 3-6 fish but all healthy size gaffers!

So head to miami and book a trip you can see more at are website www.seacrossfishingmiami.com also click on the face book face link for some really cool pics!

Thank you
