Hello Fishfans, The offshore fishing is about the same has it has been the last couple of weeks with Bonita and Kingfish providing most of the action. The Sailfishin slowed down early this week but picked back up the last couple of days, 1 or 2 on average and 3 or 4 for the lucky ones. The early part of the week brought west winds or no winds, neither of which is very condusive for good fishing but the end of the week the winds came around to the northeast and east which is probably why the fishing picked up. I took a shot and headed offshore looking for Dolphin last Tuesday and kept going and going and going til we came to the backside of the gulfstream 48 miles offshore and found the perfect weedline. The weeds were scattered a little bit due to the west winds and the flying fish were all stacked up along the edge. We trolled that edge for over 6 miles and it was unbelieveable, not even one knockdown. We fished 2 other current edges that should have been loaded with Dolphin and came up empty there as well. The best part of the day was 40 miles out in a huge school of Skipjack Tuna in the 12 to 18 pound class. These Tuna were really movin fast so everytime you caught one you had to catch up to them again but it was pretty awesome watchin them chase down sardines bustin up the water all around the boat. I suggest you think twice before going after Dolphin for at least the next couple weeks if your lookin for action, I don’t know where they’ve gone but we’ve found weedlines, boards, bamboo, birds and everything else you look for when Dolphin fishin and nobody’s home. I’ll be back next week with another fishin report from Stuart Florida, Sailfish Capital of the World. Catch you later, Capt.
