Lots Of Species

Capt. Gil Gutierrez
March 10, 2009
Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report

Well to say that we have caught a mix of species would be an understatement. That is kind of the way the fishing has gone for me since my last report. Let me give you an example. I fished Monday on a 6 hour charter. In that six hours we went 1/2 on sailfish, 4 false albacore, a shark, a red grouper, and a kingfish that would not be denied since he skyrocket our kite bait a minimum of 5 times before successfully knocking the bait off the hook. I think I heard some complaints about arms hurting on the way back in. This is the type of fishing I like to do, rod bending, There have been days when the sailfish have not been cooperating but the day was action packed due to a kingfish bite that was so hot that we only put out one rod per angler because the hookups were almost instantaneous. That is the beauty of fishing offshore in Miami this time of year. You never know what can come along.

The sail fishing has been good over the past couple of weeks. Although finding the perfect conditions did not lead to automatic hookups as one would expect. There has been a good sailfish bite going on around the Twin Towers to Haulover area. Look for the sailfish action to continue on.

The kingfish bite has been good to unbelievable as you read in the first half of my report. We have caught them as big as 30 and have missed some on the kite that were probably as big or bigger. On one particular day I stopped counting at about 20. The kingfish are definitely here. I did have a swordfish charter but we failed to even have a fish eat one of our baits. The sword fishing, at least for me, has really slowed down.

Tarpon fishing has probably been the most consistent bite we have going on in Miami. Even on our worst night we stall had shots at fish but our hook failed to find the mark. If you have tarpon fished before you know that they are not the easiest fish to hook. We have been catching these fish in the cut, beaches, and bridges. We also caught our first permit of the year. We will usually catch 4-6 of these beautiful fish a year. We are starting to move into the time of year where the larger tarpon move in on the beaches. These fish range anywhere from 70-150 pounds. But remember these fish are not here year round so if you want to catch one don't wait to long.

Add in all the other species that we have a shot at like sharks, false albacore, mackerel, cobia, tuna and you get the idea anything can happen.

Till Next Time

Best of Luck, Lucky Fishing Charters
