Fishing Reports by Capt. Dean Panos

Miami - Haulover to Fowey Light - The first report of the New Year and it is a good one. The fishing is extremely spotty, dependent on the area you are fishing. The fishing from Haulover to the Monument Bouy is so-so. There has been a South current all week, and the blue water is more...

Miami - Haulover to Fowey Light - The winds certainly picked up around Christmas time. Most boats didn't go out until this past Wednesday. We fished Wednesday and Thursday and the fishing was rather good. We caught sailfish on Wednesday, along with big kingfish, dolphin and a big more...

Miami - Haulover to Fowey Light - As we were running the boat through the Biscayne Bay yesterday, one thought came to mind, are we nuts, it was down right COLD! My customers and myself looked like we were fishing up in the Northeast. Everyone had long pants, two to three layer of c more...

Miami - Haulover to Fowey Light - In my opinion, one of the most exciting fish to catch in South Florida is the sailfish. Everytime someone on my boat catches one, I get excited. If it is the customer's first sailfish, that makes it even better. Add one better, if the angler is a more...

Miami - Haulover to Fowey Light - Well the word to describe the fishing would be WINDY! Today the wind is forecasted to be NE 25 - 30 knots with higher gusts. Seas are 10 -13 ft, with seas in the Gulfstream up to 20 ft. This is beyond Viking weather. Even the bravest souls are at more...

Miami - Haulover to Fowey Light - Fishing today was rather good. Starting the day off with a dozen and a half goggle eyes in our livewell, we headed towards the range marker to pick up some threadfin herring. The bait was sparse, although we did manage to get a couple of dozen thre more...
