Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
12/21/01
Finally North Current and blue water. The minor cold front that passed was exactly what we needed for the fishing. Blue water and over a knot of north current was from Key Biscayne passed Miami.
We started down by the Monument Bouy and by the end of the day we were passed the anchorage off of Miami. We had a North wind with North Current and a decent north swell. Sailfish was the targeted species and we ended up releasing 3 out 4 sailfish. We had a double header and two singles. Luckily both fish from the double header were cooperative. After the initial hookup, the fish crossed each other, and we react according and passed the lines over each other to avoid breaking them off. From that point one fish went SE and the other went SW. After 20 minutes we ended up catching both. The day followed with two more singles of which we missed one (popped the leader).
Throughout the day we had a few dolphin kingfish and two very large barracudas. The action was enough to keep us busy most of the day.
Another cold front is expected early next week, and currently I only have one or two days open, so don’t miss out on the fun, this week and next looks like good fishing.
Happy and Safe Holidays to All,
Capt. Dean Panos
