Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
5/6/02
The fishing off of Miami continues to be good. Early last week, the blackfin tuna bite was consistent, especially in the afternoons with a few fish caught every day. Sailfish have also been active and been eating mostly smaller baits like herring and pilchards. On Friday we got a last minute half day trip. The trip started at 10am and bait was a little tough to get. With only a few dozen herring, we went out to drift the edge. Not 5 minutes went by, when we had our first sailfish on. After a successful release, we restarted our drift, and as the baits were going out, we got our second sailfish. This type of action continued for the remainder of our trip. We ended up hooking and releasing 5 sailfish and lost a big king at the boat. Not bad for a half day trip!
On Sunday, the kingfish action off of Gov’t Cut, really turned on. Quite a few kingfish over 30 pounds were caught, along with some nice size dolphin. Last night we went swordfishing. The swordfish bite during the week was fairly good, but as the weekend approached, it started tapering off. We ended up get two swordfish bites, but unfortunately lost them both.
I’m off to the Bahamas again this week. I still have the weekend of the full moon in May open for a Bahama trip, so if you want to experience mutton madness in the Bahamas, give me a call and lets set up a trip.
Tight Lines and Good Fishing,
Capt. Dean Panos
