Colder water temperatures this week signaled the start of our winter pattern, and with winter comes cold fronts that push in bait and bring some of the most exciting fishing of the year. Conditions varied throughout the week, with sea states ranging from very calm to around 4-foot seas. Currents also changed daily, from little to no current to a strong north current. On our most productive day, we had a south current moving about 1.5 knots, which helped set up an excellent troll.

The highlights of the week were landing a Sailfish trolling in 120 feet of water, catching a 20.5 lb King Mackerel on a blue diamond spoon in 170 feet, and an unforgettable encounter with a Dusky Shark that was tagged and released. These are the kinds of catches that make winter one of our favorite times of year to be on the water.
Blackfin Tuna have been showing up more consistently, especially in the afternoons and during cloudy mornings. Most of the Blackfins were caught while trolling dinks and spoons, and this trolling pattern has been steadily improving as water temperatures continue to drop.
Looking ahead, with the full moon approaching, there’s a good chance we’ll start seeing Wahoo show up, either trolling or on live bait, as they typically bite well around this phase. While offshore trolling has been trending upward, bottom fishing on the reef has been slightly challenging, requiring adjustments day to day.
Overall, the combination of colder temperatures and winter cold fronts is setting the stage for an exciting stretch
