Fishing Reports by Capt. Dean Panos

Can Mahi Fishing Get Any Better? - Quite a few people took my advice and booked last minute trips last week to go mahi fishing and everyone was happy that they did as the mahi fishing got even better than what was already great. There were two distinct weedlines offshore. The first more...

Best Mahi Fishing of the Year!! - All I can say is the mahi fishing has been outstanding! We are seeing a late season run of mahis that has compared to the best I have ever seen. There are lots of fish out there and a lot of big fish as well. To start, there is an enormous amount more...

Summer Fun! - The mahi fishing off of Miami last week was absolutely great. There was a ton of Sargasso weed out there and in nice long lines. All you had to do was troll down the line or look from the tower until you spotted the schools of mahis. Not only were more...

Close to Perfect - Just as I predicted, the sailfish action in the spring was going to take off and it has. Last year March and April were better than January and February, and the same applies this year. We have seen some decent sailfishing in the past two weeks and more...

Almost Here - Springtime is almost here and in my opinion, April and May can offer some of the best fishing in South Florida, especially when it comes to variety. The next two months, there will be plenty of sailfish around and if last year was an indication, Apr more...
