There is lots of Bait around and the fish are responding. Everywhere you look there are schools of ballyhoo getting terrorized by hungry predators. Speedos are thick out on the reef, the grass flats are draped with the pinfish, and the gogs are in line at the buffett at night. As the water temperature continues to drop up North the sailfish will start pouring in.
This week we had some sails shop the spread but no takers. The dolphin did not disapoint and kept us on our toes. Alan and Luke Mitchell had thier hands full with a sudden attack on our baits by a school of nice gaffers in only 130 feet of water. We also bent the poles on some Amberjacks up to 30lbs, a quadrouple header of barracudas, and a couple mystery fish the hung some hardware on the reef.
Earlier in the month we had some nice groupers to 15lbs show up on the patch reefs, as well as some nice size cero mackerals, and a couple boxes full of yellowtail snapper.
After this weekends Islamorada Sailfish Tournament we'll have a pretty good picture of what to expect this upcoming winter season. If the amount of baitfish in our waters is an indication, I predict it will be a spectacular bite of sailfish!
Give us a call and book your trip now. When the bite gets hot you can expect multiple shots on light tackle. God I love the Keys!
