Fishing Reports by Capt. Dean Panos

Spring Fishing - Spring fishing is in full swing. We have had a great spring sailfish run. The sailfishing in mid-March to end of May is now better than the sailfishing in January through mid-March. We have had quite a few days with double digit sailfish releases more...

Need a Little Luck Sometimes - The past couple of trips have been amazing but also disappointing. A week or so ago while kite fishing, we had two big yellowfin tunas explode on the kite baits. The first one missed the short bait, but the second one got hooked on the middle bait. more...

Almost Christmas! - Hard to imagine but the end of the year is almost here. The charter boat industry had a rough fall season this year. Whether it was the countless storms and hurricanes that hit Florida (and although they all went to the west coast, it was enough to more...

Ready for the Holidays! - We are now into both our sailfish and swordfish peak seasons. Sailfishing is typically November through April. This November started out great, but December so far has been disappointing. The fishing the last few days has been poor, but I am sure more...
