A great day aboard. The little migratory fish are here on the reef in Marathon Fl. The fish are little guys but a lot of fun. At one time we had over 12 fish behind the boat, an incredible sight. They are up on the reef in 20 to 30' of water pushing bait- mostly ballyhoo. To see this happen is amazing even to me doing it for 40 years. What a great time for my customers and crew. Also the bottom bite is off the scale. Yellow tail snapper, mutton snapper, king fish, and many other species. Time to come on down here for dinner and a show. Don't forget the sailfish are all catch and release but as much dinner as you want otherwise!

Cero and Spanish mackerel bite has been great on the reef and in the nearshore channels.
Mangrove and yellow tail bite has stayed consistent.
Lane snapper have been on fire but FWC apparently knows that and have put an emergency closure on lane snapper in state gulf water. This is not updated/ reflected on fish rules app. So there has been a lot of confusion and frustration surround the species and legalities.
Offshore there are still a few mahi being caught, wahoo bite is great, or just more guys targeting/ posting them. Tuna (blackfin) have started showing up.
Live bait is plentiful on the beaches and lots of guys throwing the net. Sabikis on markers have also been filling the livewell.

The sunset blackfin tuna bite continues to be fun. The best action is happening on the 4 Inch blue/white williamson dolphin catchers. Set them way back in the pattern. They have been in the 250-300 foot depth to start and move shallower as it gets darker. They bite right up...

The sunset blackfin tuna bite continues to be fun. The best action is happening on the 4 Inch blue/white williamson dolphin catchers. Set them way back in the pattern. They have been in the 250-300 foot depth to start and move shallower as it gets darker. They bite right up to sunset, then the bite dies off.
