Fishing has been fairly consistent over the past few weeks asides from massive amounts of sea weed washing ashore. Sargassum provides a floating estuary for many sea creatures beginning there lives but it also can be a burden when it attaches to your lines every few minutes. It is a true test of patience. I was able to fish Cape May, New Jersey for a few days with some friends of mine on the Nora Angel. We fished the Mid Atlantic but were unfortunate to find the fish we needed. The last day before I left for Miami we did get lucky and catch some aggressive white marlin on the troll. {%image_id=60707%} Most of our fishing in the summertime is done offshore. We will troll alongside the sargassum which has been conducive to capturing mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, wahoo and an occasional sailfish. We are now in our peak months for swordfishing and I am already starting to hear some good reports! My nephew had an incredible night last week landing six broadbills up to 300lbs. There is no fish that fights harder that a ticked off swordfish {%image_id=60708%} Fishing closer to the reef lately we have been encountering kingfish, little tunny, barracuda, sharks, and yellow tail snappers. {%image_id=60706%} Sometimes the half day reef trips are the way to go if you have kids or novices on board. {%image_id=60705%} We are approaching our slow time of year as the kids get back to school. This will give us some time to work on tackle and boat maintenance. Hope everyone had a great labor day weekend and look forward to getting you on the water. Stay Tight, Capt.
