Hello everyone, and welcome
back to this week’s report! Another great week of fishing here, with
some rainy weather, but the quality of fishing definitely made it
worth it! The offshore bite is incredible right now with the Mahi
fishing in full force! Even the moon didn’t effect the bite this
week, and it was all you wanted every day. The tunas on the humps
bit well with the football sized fish, but not much from the larger
fish. Even the sword ledge produced a few good ones this week, and
the deep dropping remains solid! Plenty to do on the offshore scene
for shore! The wrecks and deep reefs were the slowest part of the
week despite this being a spawning moon for the Muttons. Although,
there were some caught, the fish really never got set up due to some
really nasty green water that moved in from the Gulf oh Mexico. It
has since moved out, but no doubt this had an effect on the fishing.
Not much of anything in these areas, but a few kings, jacks, bonitas,
and very few Muttons and groupers...of any size I should say. There
were plenty of small fish around, and it almost made you feel like
the kids were taking advantage while the parents were away. It was
sort of weird, but it is what it is...that’s fishing sometimes I
suppose. The reef bite on the edge was really good this week with a
great bite from the yellowtail snappers, with a few mangrove
snappers off the bottom. Some nice cero mackerel in the slick, as
well as some nice bar jacks. Some really good fishing this week, and
there’s nothing but indications that it’s only going to get better.
Plenty of bait in the area, and the majority of our fishery seems to
be happy! That’s it for this week, so be safe out there and good
luck!
Tight Lines,
