Fishing Reports by Capt. Dave Kostyo

A Refreshing Break From The Heat - Finally!! We get a break from the HOT weather. Before the cold front passed through, the 100 - 200 foot zone was the place to get plenty of action with kingfish, AJ's, and small sharks. The surface action for these fish was poor at best. All th more...

Offshore or Inshore, The Fishing's GREAT!! - Take your pick of either offshore or inshore fishing. They are both producing many satisfying catches. The action offshore continues to be outstanding for sailfish, blackfin tuna, kingfish, dolphin and bonito. It has been best to get out early i more...
