Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
1/22/02
As usual, fishing during the week was pretty good, and as the weekend approached, the fishing slowed down. There has been a decent North Current almost every day, but unfortunately the water has been pretty green. Despite the green water, the sailfish have stayed around and have been mostly biting on the dirty green side of the edge.
There has been an occasional kingfish, along with some bonitas. Dolphin have been sporadic, but this upcoming breeze should bring them right back. The boats that have been bottom fishing have done all right with several big grouper caught last week.
Tarpon fishing was very good early last week, and slowed down on Friday through Sunday. The moon is coming full in the next couple of days. This should trigger a shrimp run which will inevitably get the tarpon biting again.
A mild cold front is expected on Saturday. With every cold front, we get more sailfish our way. A cold front and some decent water could make thing explode. Tarpon fishing should definitely improve with the moon so the prospects for this week and weekend look good.
Congratulations to the Miami Sportfishing Club for winning the Rod and Reel Club Sailfish Challenge. Last year I won top boat and top angler with 9 sailfish releases, this year we didn’t fare as well, but at least my club won the trophy and a fellow club member won top angler and top boat.
