WOW what a great way to start out the New Year fishing here off the coast of Fort Lauderdale.
Trolling the reefs has been a bit slow this January however when we ventured out just a little deeper between 200 and 400 hundred feet of water the black fin tunas have been biting ok in the early hours of the day but seemed as we got into the afternoon hours they were biting real good.
Not real sure what happen but the last few years has been producing more and more Wahoo’s also mostly in the same depth as the black fins.
I’m pretty sure they are feeding on the black fins.
Not just us, but all the boats seem to be bring in more and more Wahoo this being the best year I’ve seen yet.
Also while the Mahi mahi are not really in season right now BUT this year they seem to be showing up way before spring and what a welcomed surprise this is always a great crowd pleaser.
The bottom fishing has been expectedly good this year as lone as we have a little north current. No current no good too much current no good BUT a knot to a knot and a half good I mean real good.
Catching the vermilion snappers reel good along with quite a few red snappers ranging from 8 to 20 pounds another great crowd pleaser. And the best new of all we are catching them in state waters so we get to harvest them.
And once again showing up early the Greater Amber Jack SEA DONKEYS, talk about a fight! We had seen many a man give up the rod before landing one of these 30 to 80 pounders.
However an unwelcomed catch nice groupers are also biting BUT Sad to say out of season.
Some times I think these fish know they get to be set free. LOL

Catching a lot of numbers as the water warms up. The Big girls will be going on the beds here in a bit with that moon phase here on Lake Okeechobee. Still getting some decent numbers of peacocks- just need yourself a guide to show you where they're at! And...

Still getting some decent numbers of peacocks- just need yourself a guide to show you where they're at! And the bite at Lake Okeechobee is starting to pick up. It's going to bust loose any day now!

Fishing live bait in Biscayne bay for tarpon, yellow jacks, mangrove, mutton snappers and groupers has been great, with a good chance to take plenty of fish home to eat. The easy availability of live bait is what makes these trips successful. That will change as soon as we start getting cold fronts that cool the water off, and push the bait fish to deeper water.
During nice weather days, bonefishing in Biscayne bay can be awesome with lots of shots, and the biggest fish of the year, from now through spring.
Flyfishing and light tackle in the Everglades for snook, tarpon, sea trout and redfish has been very good, and will continue fishing well, depending on the fluctuations of weather and cold fronts activity.
