Rough weather this week has kept reports offshore to a minimum; and it doesn't look a whole lot better headed into the weekend. A mild front pushing through early in the weekend could fire the sailfish bite up again for those that can get offshore. Depending on water conditions and current look for the sailfish to be in 150-250' of water most likely. Expect some bigger dolphin to be mixed in with the sails as well in the same depth. Live baits under the kite is a great way to go for both. If kite fishing isn't your deal, trolling small ballyhoo and Bonita strips should also get some bites. No blackfin reports this week to speak of, but they will be around when things calm back down a bit. Didn't hear anything on the wahoo with the moon, but I think that was largely due to the weather. Kingfish are scattered along the 120' ledge in good numbers. Bottom fishing reports have been few and far between. Hopefully Sunday, and moving into next week the ocean starts to calm back down a bit.

Access Info
Water temps have made a significant drop into the low 60s. Wahoo anglers may want to take advantage of this change just inside the ledge with high-speed trolling lures. Bottom fishing is best starting at 100 feet with triggerfish, seabass and vermilion all taking frozen squid. Nearshore wrecks inside 4 miles are best for sheepshead. Make sure you lock in on fiddler crabs before you go.Click here to unsubcribe from your fishing reports.
