Hey Everyone, wow we had a very busy week of fishing with today being my first day on land in a while! Finally winter is here in South Florida with moderate Nothernly winds and temps in the 60s and 70s winter time fishing has been what it should be. All week long we have been catching 2 to 7 sails a day with 4 as our average for the last 6 trips. Mahi up to 20lbs have been pushing through hard as well and on our best day we have over 20 and the kingfish have been there, mostly biting our leaders off and occasionally sticking on the wire rigs. Monday was a memorable day as it was the first day in a while where the sails bite like they should. We had a strong N wind with a N current and it pushed the fish right up top and all day it was like playing a video game. I could see the fish tailing downsea and as soon as I got the baits in front of the fish they bite every time! Nothing like watching a pod of 2-4 fish making a B line for your baits! Also on thursday was notable because we spent the day fishing most of the Frigate birds and pitching baits to a sails of nice mahi on a 20lb spin outfits! Also on this day we did drop a 40+ lb king next to the boat
Lots of swordfishing trips comming up and my log book says it should be a good week, so hopefully I will have some good reports comming up! Winter fishing is here if you planning a trip down here to S. FLorida give me a call to go fishing, we have some dates still available for March and more for April. Remember some of the best fishing is yet to come here in S. Florida as we get into April when Blackfin tuna crash in the mix!
Here are some pictures of warm weather, blue water and oh yeah a few sails!
Enjoy
