OFFSHORE- Sailfish action early in the week was absolutely on fire with numerous boats getting ten plus chances. The bite was good up and down the line; with some of the best action coming from the Lake Worth Pier up to Palm Beach Inlet. Depth bounced around a bit; but 150-225' remains a fairly consistent depth. Per usual; a frisky live goggle eye...

OFFSHORE- Sailfish action was very good this week for those making it out. The cold weather had the sailfish snapping; with numerous boats posting double digit days. Live goggle eyes under the kite remain the best bet for the sailfish; but don't overlook pilchards or threadfins on the flats for a lot of bites as well. A handful of good size dolphin...

Sure it's been cold and windy but the fish have to eat and my clients have decided to go for it and it's paid off.  More tarpon are moving in with the cold and they have been in a good mood.  Night time tarpon are stacking up on the bridges while days time tarpon have been prowling their usual day time spots.  Bonefishing slowed down the last few...

Yes we've a cold front in January. No it's not strange but it is strange that we've only had one.  The weather has been spectacular and the fishing on fire.  There was a bit off a dip after the last cold front but the ship quickly righted itself and all is well now.  The species list has been long starting with bonefish and tarpon but adding to th...

OFFSHORE- Tough fishing offshore this week with very few reports. The general hope is that the cold front passing through Thursday gets the sailfish fired up. Conditions are looking ideal for Friday and pretty good for Saturday as well....time will tell if they want to bite! Bluewater Movements "Operation Sailfish" Tournament out of Sailfish Marina...

I wish all a Happy New Year! The end of fishing year was exciting for a few weeks when the big Tarpon showed up in the back country and on the coast. I spent the holiday in Key Largo fishing with my kids. and a block party for the neighborhood just having a good time. We caught Mutton Snappers Yellowtails Barracudas Cero Mackerels Parrotfish Snook...

OFFSHORE- Reports have been a bit slow this week offshore. Despite the decent cold front sailfish action never really went off. The general consensus was most boats putting the kites up saw a fish or two with only a few boats getting more than 4 or 5 chances. A scattering of dolphin in 250-400' of water but no big numbers. The wahoo have shown up a...

Wow what an incredible second half of December we’ve had in Miami. The bay has been firing on all cylinders and with the exception of the last couple days of the month it’s been relatively warm. Although the air temperature has been warm the water temperatures have been cooling and that has caused permit to stack up as well as Pompano mackerel Sna...
