Holidays and Sailfishing

Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
Holiday season is upon us. I hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving and we now have Christmas and New Years coming up. Charter business has been a little bit slow, so we took advantage and did some work on our boat. We installed all new electronics and now have the newest and best from Simrad. We have new Simrad NSS4 multi-function displays as well as a new Halo Radar that we are about to install. We also tore off the Aquatraction flooring and had a company remove every speck of residual glue and had a new Aquatraction floor installed. The boat looks amazing.
But let's get to the fishing. Fishing has been very good especially for kite fishing. We have been catching sailfish very consistently and had quite a few days with five and six sailfish per day. Besides the sailfish there have also been some decent mahis and some real nice size kingfish. Throw in a few tunas and bonitos and it makes for a fun filled, action packed day. This is our typical trip in the wintertime where we kite fish with live bait and fish on what we call the edge which is only 2 – 3 miles form show, so regardless of weather we can almost always go out and go fishing.
The swordfish bite has been very good. We have not had a lot of swordfish trips and unfortunately the only trip we had we had one bite but pulled it off. The reports though have been very good and there have also been quite a few 300-to-400-pound swords caught.
The Holiday season is always very busy. Beginning mid-December to just after New Years many people come down to spend the Holidays with friends and family and what a better way to spend time together than a day out on the water catching fish. We already have some bookings, so I encourage everyone to book their thrips before we get sold out. We also offer gift certificates so if you are stuck and need a great gift for that someone special, we offer gift certificates. Just shoot me an email and I can have a gift certificate sent to you.
I hope everyone has a great Holiday season and look forward to fishing with repeat clients and new clients!
