Big Boy Bites - Boy! August is off to a great start for catches, but we are sitting at the dock too much.
Last Sunday we had a swordfish trip. When our bite came, it was so powerful we thought we had hung the bottom.
Nope, it was moving and we were hooked up. more...

March Means GreatFishing - Yipee! March has arrived. Now let's hope it is as good as March usually is.
The last two years our Januarys have been too warm. This really slows down the tarpon and sailfish migration. Thankfully, these fish will still migrate south to spawn ov more...

Welcome to 2016 - So far it has been a fun year for fishing.
The last few days of 2015 we caught a few nice groupers and quite a few sailfish.
