 Buddy and Pat Hello fellow fisherman!
The spring season is here! Wow, there are some big fish outside in the deep blue sea.
The bull and sandbar sharks are along the ledges feeding on middle food chain species like kingfish, bonito, and cobia, which we are now targeting.
The kings are up to 30-pounds, and the cobia are average size.
Except yesterday Matt caught a 60-pounder.
Buddy caught a mutton about 9-pounds the other day on a wreck. Nice fish Buddy!
Brian and Michelle, caught lots of fish with their twins up the ICW. It was a nice variety of fish on light spin tackle.
Ray, had a 20-plus pound jack, a bonito, and so many lost mystery fish while wreck fishing. I suspect the fish were cobia, snapper, and cobia being gobbled down by goliath grouper and bull sharks. We were out gunned with 60-pound braid on the mainline. Nice boat Ray! We better start bringing the big rods.
To summarize, the ICW is good for light spin and fly tackle.
KIng fishing has been inconsistent, even though some fish are smoker size. Snapper fishing is doable.
Sharks are the targeted monsters, as well as the goliath grouper. African pompano,amberjack, and cobia are available when we can pull them away from the apex predators.
Good luck! -----------<*///><
Good Day Fishing Fans, Most of this month was spent like January either in the grass flats or near the beach in the ocean. This weather so far this Winter has been unusually warm with a few cold days sprinkled in. Most of the plants are in bloom prematurely. How does this effect the fishing you may wonder ?
Well some species like pompano,cobia and kings do like the cold water. Hopefully we will be obliged.
Drew and Neil from the Boston area ,had plenty of action with mackerel caught on fly, and spin tackle along with an almost limit of snapper on light spin equipment.
Good Luck-------------<*///><
Good Day,
Most of our adventures lately have been in the back-country stalking jack and bluefish on top-water plug or fly casting for pompano and ladies in the grass flats.
When the weather has been conducive, the mackerel fishing has been producing limit catches up to 7-pounds on spin, and fly.
Giant jack, blues, ladies, and some limit snapper catches have also been along the beach areas.
Good Luck----------<*///><
To all fishing aficionados,
Please tune in to Fox Sports' World Wide Adventures for the two episodes of fishing adventures on-board Seacretspot in Jupiter, Florida. Check your local listing in the USA.
Thank you,

Good Day Fishing Fans,
Part-time resident Ed, caught 7-species of fish on yesterday's action packed adventure.
 Catches include: 4 jack to 35-pounds, countless albies on fly and ultra-light spin up to 18-pounds,15-pound cuda, 5-pound snapper, rainbow runners, a 7-foot sailfish (Ed caught 9 sails with me), and 4-snook to 25-pounds.
Ed is no ordinary angler. He is well traveled and is very accomplished.
Congratulations Ed and good fishing !
God Bless,

 Jacqui, Brian and Julie Good Day Fishing Fans,
Whether you are a spin, plug, or fly-fisherman, this is the time of year when it's a great time to wet a line fishing. The possibilities of catching multiple species on a day's outing are very possible.
Near shore,the two fish that make our area a fly-fishing destination for many fisherman are the mighty snook and tarpon, which are here now and soon will be at the peak time to target them.
June is also a good month offshore to seek out albies on fly, kingfish, snapper, shark, dolphin, and even a possible tuna, or sailfish.
Some wreck fishing may also be a good bet for amberjack, cobia, permit, snapper and grouper, when the conditions are favorable.
All in all, the seas are usually near flat-calm for running which is always fun.
So plan a trip and make a happy memory .
God Bless,

Good day fellow fisherman,
The almost non-existent, winter temperatures have created an early summer for us here in south Florida, which means, the fishing can be really good .
So, for you “snowbird “ fisherman that go back north in April / May, I encourage you to stay just a little bit longer to enjoy our extraordinary fishing, at times.
Flyfishing:
Albies are the star until the tarpon show up . The species with a * are possible on fly.
Offshore:
May is generally a good month to fish our area . We have caught all the following fish in the last two weeks:
*Big kingfish, giant bull and sandbar sharks, and huge goliath grouper. Also included in the list are large *cravelle jack, snapper, *dolphin, *sailfish, *cobia, *bluefish, and as always, a surprise guest species such as a blue marlin.
Inshore:
*Pompano, *mackerel, *bluefish, *ladyfish ,and bonefish are some of the near shore species .
Backcountry:
This time of year we do fish in the estuaries, seawalls, bridges , and nightlights where some of the catches include, *snook, *jack, flounder ,and there are still a few *blues left.
God Bless ,

 Happy holidays to everyone!
This April we have quite a mixed variety of fish cooperating with anglers. Inshore, its been jack, ladyfiish, bluefish, snook and pompano caught on ultra light spinner and fly rods.
The Atlantic ocean has been a very good place to wet a line when the conditions are favorable.
Some of the fish we recently caught include, kingfish up to 30-pounds, mackerel, albies on fly, jumbo jack up to 35-pounds, cobia, giant sharks, dorado, yellowtail and mutton snapper. Not to be outdone by the giant goliath groupers.
The ocean, like the air temperature is already warmer than usual, in turn some of the summer fish are already showing up. We are keeping an eye out for permit, snook, and tarpon which may be here any day.
God Bless,
Cliff............<*///><
 Jeff and Jay with a jack caught on top water plug Good day!
So far March has started out rather windy, with some turbulent seas. That's ok, we always have a Plan B ready to engage. Which means fishing inside the inlet around seawalls, grass flats, or mangrove estuaries.
Equipped with ultra light spinners, using top water plugs, Jeff and Jay of the midwest caught some hard fighting jack.
Most of the fish were good sized with one jumbo that took the younger Jay about 15 minutes to land.
Top water bait, is one of my favorite fishing methods, although the action can be slow to boring at times, a fish will chase your bait with heart stopping, explosive splashes, sometimes following the bait all the way to the boat.
Wow, it can be exciting!
Good luck and God bless,

Good Day Fishing Fans,
I can't believe that this is winter. It is so warm that the pineapples, mangoes, and almost all fruit trees are in bloom now. The birds are building nests as if it was spring time. I just hope we don't get a big Arctic blast of cold air, or else all the blossoms will die. The surf and air temp are up much higher than normal.
When it comes to fishing, there have been waves of migrating fish that have moved through our area.
Usually they stay here for months, this year we have to be out there and get lucky with a good day. If you don't go you could miss the bite.
Pompano, sharks, bluefish, jack, ladyfish, cobia, and mackerel are possible to catch on fly and light tackle near shore. Snook, small tarpon, jack, pompano, blues, and ladyfish are available in the backcountry. Kingfish, dolphin, sailfish, snapper, permit, and goliath grouper are possible offshore.
The jumbo mackerel were here yesterday, lots of them. I love catching them on fly or light spin tackle.
They are a blast to catch. They make long smooth runs and taste great, when iced and cooked that night.
Plus, they are loaded with that wonderful heart friendly omega oils.
Good luck and God bless,
Cliff-----------------------<*///><
