Fishing Reports by Capt. Dean Panos

Great Start to Sailfish Season - Sailfish season is here, and we have had a great start. We are seeing sailfish daily and are catching anywhere from 1 to 6 sailfish per day. That is pretty good for it only being beginning of November. Our season is typically November through April more...

Hello Fall! - Summer is officially over, and fall is here. We are expecting our first cold front of the year next week. Keep in mind cold fronts in South Florida this time of year are not necessarily cold. The high temps will still be low 80's compared to 90's more...

Happy New Year! - Happy New Year! Tomorrow, we bring in a New Year. 2022 wasn't bad but it had its fill of difficulties. Supply chain issues still exist, highest gas prices we have ever seen, and the cost of goods and services is crazy. Everything from marina ra more...
