Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report

Today was the first time that I fished offshore since Sunday. I ran the 45' Hatteras, Bill Time, owned by Bill Borkan. We left Bill's dock at 10 am and ran to Government Cut to catch bait. The pilchards were plentiful and it didn't take very long to fill the live well. Starting in the Cuban Hole area, we were presented with a south wind and no current. The kingfish and bonito were very cooperative and after catching 3 kings and 3 bonito, we ran further offshore in hopes of finding a dolphin or two. At 10 miles out and after finding nothing to fish to, I decided to put out some dolphin juniors and start trolling back in. It turned out to be the right choice. A 15# dolphin struck the starboard rod and had the clicker screaming. Bill made quick work of bringing it to the boat where Mike Dumas Jr. did a great job of gaffing and adding the dolphin to the fish box.

We'll be back out on Bill's boat again tomorrow for another wonderful day of fishing and enjoying the beautiful South Florida weather.
