Fishing Reports by Capt. Dean Panos

In the Islands - 6/5/14 Last year we took my good friend and clients boat named the Ruthie to San Salvador in the Bahamas for 8 days. This year we planned on taking the boat again but staying for a bit longer. San Salvador Bahamas is 340 nautical miles (~400 sta more...

Spring has Sprung - Springtime is here and with that comes a lot of variety. To start there are still plenty of sailfish around. Our best day this week was 6 sailfish and we had a few other days with 4 and 5 per day. Although not in the numbers we saw last month, the more...

April Means Hot Fishing - The fishing continues to be very good and if you ever wanted to catch a sailfish, I don't think you could have gone wrong these past few weeks. We had a couple of double digit days (catching 10 or more sailfish in a day) and a bunch of days with 5 o more...

Hot and Cold - Hot and Cold That's the best way to describe the fishing so far this month. Although January is usually one of the best months for sailfishing so far it has been a bit slower than average, but that was the case last year as well and then the sail more...

Another Year of Great Fishing - 1/2/14 It's hard to believe, but another year has gone by. I would like to thank all my clients, as this past year was one of the best years ever with a record setting amount of trips for the year. Not only did we have a lot of trips, but we al more...

Tournaments, Sails and Swords - It's been a busy couple of weeks both with tournaments and with charters. We fished our first tournament on the new 43 SeaVee Walkaround. What a BEAST! It is basically a sportfisherman with a tall tower combined with the versatility of a center co more...
