Fishing Reports by Capt. Dean Panos

Strong Finish in Operation Sailfish Tournament - 12/24/15 Sorry for the delay between reports but it has been a very busy couple of weeks. We had a sailfish tournament in Palm Beach, then I went to Casa Vieja in Guatemala for some Pacific sailfish action and as soon as I got back I had non-stop more...

A Great Start - What a great start to sailfish season. We have caught sailfish on every trip and as many as 8 in one day. There was one day that the wind was north, the current was going good and the fish were everywhere. A buddy of mine caught 31 sailfish that d more...

What a Beast! - 11/20/15 The new vessel is here and what a beast! It is everything that I was hoping for and more. Top end is lightning fast; she cruises at an easy 40 knots and burns 1.1 mpg, which is what I used to burn on my other boat with a slower cruise a more...

Can Mahi Fishing Get Any Better? - Quite a few people took my advice and booked last minute trips last week to go mahi fishing and everyone was happy that they did as the mahi fishing got even better than what was already great. There were two distinct weedlines offshore. The first more...

Best Mahi Fishing of the Year!! - All I can say is the mahi fishing has been outstanding! We are seeing a late season run of mahis that has compared to the best I have ever seen. There are lots of fish out there and a lot of big fish as well. To start, there is an enormous amount more...

Summer Fun! - The mahi fishing off of Miami last week was absolutely great. There was a ton of Sargasso weed out there and in nice long lines. All you had to do was troll down the line or look from the tower until you spotted the schools of mahis. Not only were more...
