Summer Fishing Continues

Summer fishing entails several different styles of fishing. We have been running offshore for dolphin, kite fishing for sailfish and planer fishing for everything else. Let's start with the dolphin fishing. We have been running offshore in search of mahi-mahi. The only bad thing is that we have had to run anywhere from 14-20 miles offshore to find them. Once we have made the run and found favorable conditions most of our fish have come on the troll. The fish have ranged from undersized mahi to gaffer size fish in the 12-15# range. The fish should still be around for a while so if you want to put some filets in the freezer this would be your best option. We have caught sailfish on almost every trip except one. All of our fish have come on the reef. The sailfish bite should only continue to improve as we move towards the fall and winter months. In addition to the sailfish we have also been catching our fair share of bonitos. Although they are not great eating they are lots of fun and a great way to learn proper rod and fishing techniques. As is expected the tarpon bite has cooled significantly since my last report but with the mullet run starting to happen it should only get better moving forward. Kingfish have started to show up in decent numbers. We have caught several since our last report. Most of these fish have been averaging about 8-15#s.
