Hey Everyone, Feb. fishing has remained strong throughout the month with sailfish and sharks still stealing the show. Kite fishing has been producing the most bites on the sailfish as usual and the sharks can't turn down a big slab of bonita or kingfish deployed on a surface, mid and bottom rod. Mahi Mahi have been around, not in great numbers but the ones we are catching are nice ones. Amberjacks have begun to prowl the deep wrecks with regularity and find it hard to turn down a properly presented live bait. We are still waiting on good numbers of king fish to show up but the blackfin tunas have more than made up for their slow showing. They taste a lot better as well.

Call me at 954.522.4773 and let's go!
