A Typical South Florida Fishing Day
During the winter months we will probably be kite fishing for sailfish, dolphin, kingfish, grouper and snapper. When kite fishing, we suspend live baits from two fishing kites and try to entice the game fish into striking our frantic baits swimming on the surface. At the same time we may place a deep rod on the bottom in hopes of catching a grouper or snapper, and another rod will be placed half way down, in search of king mackerel.
Much of what we do depends on the weather. Wind direction and wind speed, and current direction and speed all play an important roll in the success of the day. Therefore, we are always ready to change our tactics to match the prevailing conditions. "I can't sit around all day waiting for the fish to bite. I'll give it my best shot at what I think we should do, but we'll be up and running if I think there is a better chance of catching fish somewhere else! If I hear the action is better somewhere else, it doesn't take long to get there in the Contender." We usually head in around 4:00 pm and we'll be back at the dock at 4:30 to 5:00 pm (depending on how far we've traveled). I will clean your fish and bag them for you. Oh, by the way, you are more than welcome to take home all the fish you catch. However, I try not to make the day a "fish kill."

We will usually meet at the marina around 7:30 to 8:00 am. After we load your gear on the boat, we will head across beautiful Biscayne Bay in search of a fresh supply of live bait. Live bait is critical to a successful day of fishing offshore. After the live wells (two on the transom) are full, we head north, south or offshore - depending on where the action has been - and set up for our day of fishing.
During the warmer months we may run offshore in search of migrating dolphin (mahi-mahi). This fishing method involves looking for diving birds and floating debris, which may put us on the location of dolphin.
