I have reports of really big cobia about 20 miles out in the golf.

The fishing has been decent. There's a biomass of trout in the bay right now and they're hungry the water temps are equalizing and thusly the snook have started bighting again the red fish we were blessed with a few weeks ago have seemingly left, mackerel in the outer bay and gulf are chewing the bottom paint off and if you can make it out there the cobia are bighting in the gulf. Around town small snapper can be found pretty easy and plenty of Jack action as well.

With the cold fronts in the past, the winter months have produced warmer water temperatures and even hotter fishing.

Fishing of Miami Beach has been super hot this month and it's starting to pick up one spring time gets here all hell's going to break loose mahi-mahi wahoo, black fin tuna are just starting to heat up trolling in live. Bathing has been the best methods. I recommend a three-quarter day or full day it just gives you that little bit of extra time to get you on the fish.

Last January as we started our morning out we were running along the coast when I saw a big dark shape. It turned out to be a giant school of the largest bluefish I've ever seen. Bluefish aren't a fish we target in south Florida, but I would if they were like these. We caught over a dozen and probably lost just as many. But each one was bigger than any other bluefish I'd ever seen off Miami. We were just releasing them, but it turned out we could have had the state record beat. State record was just over...

But each one was bigger than any other bluefish I'd ever seen off Miami. We were just releasing them, but it turned out we could have had the state record beat. State record was just over 20 pounds and we had a bunch bigger than that. Unfortunately, I have seen them since that morning.

This September off the Islamorada hump we caught an estimate 200-250lb blue marlin on 20lb line He ate the short bait behind the boat and went ballistic! Right in front of the whole fleet fishing at the hump. Epic! We landed him in 45 minutes on a shimano TLD 25.
