Big Spring Dollies

Our spring dolphin run has begun with a lot of fish being caught in the 20-40lb. range and I have heard fish up to 57lbs. being caught. Bigger kings have shown up on the reefs with the bigger fish in the 25lb. range. As the water gets warmer the fish should get bigger. Some cobias are still on the wrecks but some truly big ajs showed up this week with numerous fish from 50-80lbs being caught. So plan on pulling on a lot of aj's to find the cobias. The biggest fish are coming on live bait. We are still averaging 1 sailfish each trip which is a pretty normal summer pattern for us but every now and then the conditions are right to catch a big load of them. Blackfins are in miami which means its only a matter of time before they are think in our area. Swordfishing continues to be slow with mostly smaller fish being caught. On a daytime trip this past saturday we only hooked one fish that ended up pulling the hook, but were rewarded with a big dollie on a squid on the way back up from the depths.
