Fishing Reports by Capt. Dean Panos

Busy Summer - Summertime is when we are supposed to slow down a bit and recharge from a busy sailfish season. That has not been the case this summer as it has been extremely busy and I have been fishing every single day since my last report. No complaints here a more...

Mahi Fever - Mahi Fever For the past month or so we have seen very good fishing for mahis in the Gulfstream. As is typical in the summertime, these fish are not very big, but what they don't have in physical size they make up in sheer numbers. It is not unco more...

Steady - For the most part the fishing has been OK. We have been averaging 2 or more sailfish per day with our best day at 6. We have also caught a sailfish on every single full day trip but one. The one we didn't catch one was frustrating for me as I had more...
