However the fishing for Mahi- Mahi more than made up for it... On our last trip we boated 18 Mahi's releasing several small rats. The Tuna fishing should pick up after these Hurricanes pass us buy. These storms churn up the ocean, and the Tuna go off their normal feeding cycle. Once everything settles down the Tuna will go back on the Feed !

The Inshore and Offshore Water Temperature is Warming UP... Big time !
That's right... Everyone knows we had a Mild Winter this year. The Offshore and Inshore Water Temperature is Warming Up at a fast rate, and that is what We WANT !!!!
All the Inshore and Offshore Species will be at least Two to Three Weeks Early this year compared to last year.
I am giving a Heads Up to Book Early... That's because things will be accelerated this year with the warm water moving in sooner than expected.
The Inshore fishing for Fluke, and Sea Bass should be hitting good in early May. The Offshore fishing for Tuna should also be firing on all cylinders by the end of May, or the beginning of June at the latest.
Last year we had some great Fluke and Sea Bass fishing including some incredible Tuna, Marlin, and the best Wahoo fishing ever.
Book Now before the choice dates are Gone.

Weather: 30 to 60+ degrees Fishing on the Salmon River is awesome and the water is up. Lake Ontario Brown Trout are biting very well when the lake conditions permit us to get out. All the fishing is good and will continue to all spring.
