Sail Fishing Continues to Rule the Days

Miami, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fowey Rocks Offshore
Sailfish continue to dominate the scene offshore. This past week we had the pleasure of having Craig Sawyers and his 2 sons James and Jeff on board. Fortunately we where able to deliver a Sailfish at the end of the day. The following day we had better luck on the Sails and went 2 for 3. While drifting the edge there have been reports of King Mackerel and Mutton Snapper being caught. For the guys and gals that opt out for the reef fishing, Yellowtail Snapper continue show up in good numbers as long as there is current. King Mackerel will show up on the chum slick so it is always a good idea to be freelining live bait such as Blue Runner or a Speedo on a balloon rig in case these toothy critters show up. There have also been good numbers of Mutton Snappers being caught on deep ledges and wrecks.
