Fishing Reports by Capt. Colin Hickey

Winter Time Sails - During the last few cold snaps the sailfish action has been great. Monitoring the wind and current conditions has been essential to success though. Fishing on NNW, N, and NE winds have yielded drastically better results then fishing on winds out of t more...

Go Release Some Sails This Weekend - The sailfish action has been hot and fantastic. Today, they were free jumping, herding, and just in an absolute frenzy chasing bait on a day that would typically be an off day. A light south wind, nearly 80 degrees out, and a tight trough and length more...

Jupiter Offshore and HOT reef action - Most of the action has been dominated by Mutton snapper and kingfish, oh yeah and those spiny little critters that are tucked in their rocks. I spent mini-season in the keys again which means I have not been offshore for nearly 7 days, not good! more...

Dozens of Dolphin - I thought it would be a great idea to take advantage of the great fishing down in the keys over Memorial weekend, but only came home to braggers around here about the fishing over the weekend. The keys only produced a plethora of small (throwback) do more...

Calling Sails and Lots of Them! - Hopefully this winter we will see the same Sailfish run we saw a couple years back, the same season that the Silver Sailfish Derby witnessed over 900 sails throughout the tournament. By the early signs it very well could be as sails have been roam more...

Offshore - Perhaps the best wind sequence for those targeting sails right now is a 2-3 day rotation of winds from the WNW to N to NE. Unfortunately this won't be a factor until Sunday or Monday when sea conditions seem to be unfavorable. However for those willi more...

More systems, more rough weather - As the tropical system Kyle pushes some rougher water towards the coast, it will make matters difficult until the weekend. However in the next month or so we will start seeing signs of the first run of Sailfish for the fall/winter. After the seas cal more...

Rough Weather - The ocean conditions have not been laying down since Gustav. Now Trop Storm Hanna has stirred them up again, and Ike and Josephine don't plan to make it much better. However before all this chaos was a consistent dolphin bite with a mix bag of wa more...
