Hello Fish Fans, The fishing off the coast of Stuart Florida has been good and we’ve been catching sailfish, dolphin, kingfish, sharks, bonita and birds. Sporty conditions aren’t for everybody so we’ve had a few cancellations and rescheduled fishing charters but we’ve been catching fish with those who can handle the conditions. The winds will be blowing 20 to 30 mph for the next couple of days with temperatures in the low to mid 30’s so we probably won’t be fishing but hope to have better conditions this weekend and on into next week.
The dolphin fishing’s been good and we’ve been catching 10 to 20 pound dolphin on most of our fishing charters. The winds pushed the gulfstream water a bit further offshore so we’ve been fishing 8 to 10 miles off the beach for the last week or so. The dolphin fishing is usually good during February & March but April and May is prime time for Stuart Florida Dolphin Fishing.
We’re catching 1 or 2 sailfish on most of our Stuart Florida Sailfish Charters but we’re still waiting for the hot sailfish bite that we’re accustom to here in the Sailfish Capital of the World. The cold fronts are pushing through and the sailfish are on the move but we’re catching allot of singles with only a few doubles and no triple hook-ups so far this winter. We’ll continue to catch at least 1 or 2 sailfish on our sailfish charters and we’re still hoping for a red hot sailfish bite this winter.
The near shore waters off the coast of Stuart are teaming with threadfin herring and the cobia are starting to show up. The cobia fishing should be excellent in the near future and we’ll let you know when they stack up around the reefs & wrecks. We’re still awaiting the arrival of the manta rays that show up this time of year delivering packs of cobia to the reefs & wrecks but there’s a few cobia being caught.
Spring break is on the way and now’s the time to book that spring break fishing charter. We’ll be catching blackfin tuna, dolphin, sailfish, wahoo and cobia so give us a call and we’ll hook you up with a great day on the water catching fish. Catch you later, Capt.
