Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
This week we had steady winds and steady action on Sailfish. Although the winds were primarily from the south, the sailfish were hungry. Dolphin action continues to be spotty, but when they show up, they are welcomed to the fish box. We found many schools of dolphin this week that were moving south but they would not eat anything. They ignored live bait as well as dead. We did see a leatherback turtle and caught a 30 pound cobia following close by.
Miami Fishing Forecast:
This mornings (Sunday) cold front should give offshore fishing a kick in the butt for the rest of the week. Look for increased sail action, and the dolphin action should pick-up when the winds switch back around to the east and southeast. Bottom fishing for grouper and muttons will be great this month especially off North Key Largo. Expect to see a large catch of sailfish in next weeks Masters Sailfish Tournament
