Current Report:
May 14th
Dolphin have been the target and they are out there. We've had to do some hunting around though. Seems that we can't get the wind to shift over to the SE for more than a day before it wants to turn back to the North or East. The Gulf Stream has been right off the edge of the reef right where we want it and there are weed lines trying to stack up. As soon as that happens it'll be a red hot bite and will be a short ride to get them without too much "fishing" before the "catching" begins.
On the reef, the Yellowtails are there. You may need to do some searching to get the right current conditions, but once you do, be ready to scale down your terminal gear. The edge of the reef has been ultra clear, great for diving, not-so-good for yellowtailing. Reports of Muttons have also been coming in and they are starting to move into pre-spawn areas.
Tarpon fishing is great in the harbor and channels. Expect multiple shots right now as the Tarpon are on the move.
Permit are holding on the gulfside and as of a few days ago the cobia were still thick too. Be ready to get your catch to the boat as quick as you can though, there are predators down there waiting to fight you for your fish!
Catch'em Up!
