Florida Keys Weekly report – Dolphin, Sails, Kings & good reef fishing!

Besides the weather, everything right here in the Florida Keys is beginning to heat up like the water and most of all the fishing. Because Captain John is at the moment in the Dry Tortugas beating up on some bottom fish he asked me to get on the fishing report for this week. I spoke with Captain John briefly yesterday afternoon whilst he was in in between journeys and he says anything is heading effectively and that he will have a full Dry Tortugas fishing report following week.

We can begin off with the offshore aspect of things. In the beginning of the week we had a good edge transfer in from the Gulfstream. And when I say edge it was every little thing we glimpse for like birds, bait, blue/green water shade adjustments and stacked up rips to indicate the latest all all around. Most of all it was stacked up with Dolphins, Dorados or Mahi Mahis whatever you want to get in touch with them they are here. Along with the Dolphins on the edge the Sailfish are passing by way of with each boat obtaining a shot or two a day with some boats seeing as many as five. Operating our way inshore into 110′ to 130′ the King Mackerals have been around. Our King bite did seem to slow up a bit from the past month but the top quality fish are here all ranging from fifteen-twenty five kilos. It appears that every single day we are finding a great surprise of a Mutton Snapper or even a big Yellowtail Snapper on our downrigger whilst trolling. Within on the reef we have been fighting some negative conditions of wind in opposition to existing, crystal clear h2o or just lack of latest but we usually manage to set a good catch together. Farther inshore from that on the bait patches the Cigar Minnows have been all around with plenty of Pilchards and occasionally the Ballyhoos will make the improper transfer so we can get a web above them.

Now onto the Backcountry! I got out back 1 day with Captain Jeff, which was my very first time and it was very the encounter. Jeff desired to do a small bit of scouting for some new locations for the 12 months and it paid off. Sight casting for Redfish on light tackle is a blast, and when you hook a 30&quot Black Drum on 10 pound line you’re in for a wonderful combat. Captain Jeff has concentrated all of his efforts in the previous two days Tarpon fishing carrying out a 4 hour morning and four hour afternoon/night. From what it seems like the Whale Harbor bridge has been producing good numbers in the early morning and the Channel 5 bridge in the afternoon.
