The Captain's Log

Summertime fishing has been good offshore with great dolphin and tuna action.  Some big slammers mixed in lots of schoolie and mix of gaffer size mahi.  Tuna have been biting good ou around the humps.  Good fishing on the reef for yellowtail with the mangrove/mutton snapper spawn moving them out on the reef as well.  Lots of trout and ladyfish action in the backcountry with some good days of snook/redfish as well.  Tarpon are still around and biting good in the channels and around the bridges.  The weather is hot so most backcountry fishing is better in the morning or late afternoon!

Spearfish!

The crew of the BnM caught a rare spearfish the other day while out swordfishing.  The fish came up while they were out swordfishing off key largo and they threw it a dead ballyhoo and it came after it!  Nice catch!
