Key Biscayne - Saltwater Fishing Report

Engine Work Done

Well today was the first time out since Sunday, what a week !

Well the Cutting Edge is back in shape and hopefully ready for another couple of years of relieable service.

We headed out and the conditions looked favorable, and the seas calm. Bait has been tough but after a couple of different spots we got some Cigar Minnows. We hit the Edge strait off the cape and found nice water with a north current. First came the Dolphin, and nice bunch but they were hard to get to bite. We only got 3. Next the excitement was enhanced with the sighting of a couple of free jumpers. We knew it was only a matter of time before they reached us. And it was. A cool bight on the Short Right bait produced and big Sailfish and lots of fantastic jumps. Another first Sailfish day for another excited customer. The day seemed to slip away but with only seconds left we found an edge pushing in and I moved the boat quickly to it. Only seconds later we were hooked up again. We rapped it up after that and headed home, a nice reward for us after 3 long days rebuilding the engines and a nice reward for our two lucky customers.
