Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
6/10/02 - Bahamas
For the past 4 days I was over in Bimini Bahamas. Fishing in Bimini is a lot of fun and the bottom fishing is what you usually go over there for. We caught mutton snappers, yellowtails, groupers, cero mackerels, dolphin and sharks. The first two days were better than the last two, but we caught fish every day. The weather on the other hand was phenomenal. The second day was our best day, as we ventured up into the Gingerbread Area. Although it is quite the run from Bimini, I think it is well worth it. The yellowtail fishing there was great, with lots of 3 – 4 pound fish. Even with a full moon phase and actually almost no moon, we still caught some nice hefty mutton snapper almost daily. We didn’t catch the numbers you can catch as when the moon is full, but the ones we caught were of decent size. The grouper fishing was a bit disappointing, but we did have some nice fish on deep jigging, but unfortunately we got rocked on almost every bite.
On this side, the dolphin fishing seems to be the most consistent action, although the size of the dolphin change from school to school. There have been some nice dolphin (20-30 lb) caught in on the edge over this past weekend. The swordfishing has also been excellent, with many boats hooking 2 – 4 fish per evening (Just as a side note – I love doing swordfish trips).
With all said and done, look at your calendars and let set up a Bahama trip or an evening swordfish trip. These seem to be the premiums during the summer, and if not, dolphin fishing and fishing on the edge are always an option.
Tight Lines and Good Fishing,
Capt. Dean Panos
