Hello! Hope everyone enjoyed a few great weeks of AWESOME weather, (besides the few storms) the ocean has been FLAT.....  The fishing has not been great but not bad either! I guess it all depends on what you wanna catch....... Since I am a Charter fisherman mainly these days, I am interested in keeping the rods bent. So if theres a family who has never gotten anything better than a 10lb trout. a 10-15lb bonita is a prize on light tackle.  Us fisherman in Florida get spoiled because of the variety of fish we have. Just cause we can't eat it doesn't mean its not a prize fight for someone... Yes I also got very spoiled and need to get back to basics, stop taking all these awesome days and fish for granted......... Heres what I have heard from reliable sources and from myself.... Hope it helps.

 
MAHI... As usual one day there there the next there not. I have not gone for them in the last few weeks.... There hasn't been many that came back to the dock either.... A friend of mine had a few days that he got them good. I think the trick is to go every day and you'll get a few days that you'll get them! lol
 
COBIA...My favorite. There showing up pretty good on the wrecks and reefs. we chummed up a few local wrecks last week and had a few swim up after 30 minutes. Theres a few studs swimming around! King fishing is bringing a few in!
 
KINGS.....They have not been that great! You really have to put your time in and look. we have caught them from the 730s to 8A, Brevard, and every local wreck... no great numbers but a few here and there. the bouy line and beach held a few of the bigger ones. 
 
SAILS... We got a huge one the other day!!!! And it seems everyone has been getting them lately. We had ours in 50 foot on a random bait pod. we got him on 25lb spinning gear! 
 
SPANISH MACKEREL... Go up north around the shoals, look for the birds and water breaking. theres bonita and jacks mixed in there as well. Bring a small rod and have fun with them.
 
TARPON... there still around! I seen them the other day down around patrick and the next day i seen them up north of the tip.
 
BONITA....Plenty in the buoy line and close to the beach. There decent size and theres a lot of them. we had almost 20 yesterday and the Charter was very pleased by having to chase fish down on light tackle. Great times. 
 
BAIT...The bait seems to have left the beach and is in the port every day... Don't pass it going out. We got it in Cape Marina the other day and in the middle of the channel. There has been a few styles of pogies mixed in there, the normal and silver, there have been some turbos in there too.
 
I hope this helps out.... If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call.... I will share what i know!
