Fishing this time of year is very good regardless of what you want to catch. Offshore the Dolphin bite is sizzling hot. This season has been producing more large fish than years past. Even the schoolie Dolphin have been some what larger. I guess it’s just part of the cycle, but that means everybody has the chance to get into a nice trophy fish. Today Capt.George Clark SR. caught Dolphin up to 35 pounds and topped the day off with a fifty pound WAHOOOO. You can always tell when a big Hoo eats your bait, the line melts off the reel super fast. There has also been some nice black fin tuna showing up. Not big yellow fin size fish, but more 15 to 20 pound range eaters. The bill fish have stayed active too. There has been plenty of free jumpers bounding out deep. Blue Marlin, whites and sails are all active.
Bottom fishing is doing well too over the reef and wrecks. We are catching some great yellow tail snapper in shallow and picking some Muttons and groupers.
Tarpon fishing is red hot as well on the flats and out in the back country. These Tarpon are all good size ranging from 30 pounds to 150. Live crabs and pilchards are there food of choice in the shallows while mullet are great in the evenings around the bridges. Snook are getting better and better. Snook are closed for harvest until Sept., but you can still practice catch and release. Redfish are all over the everglades and biting very nice. Sight fishing for reds is great from may thru Oct.
Give us a call if you would like to go have some of this Florida Keys fun.
Thanks,
Capt. George Clark Jr.
