Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 05:09PM The offshore fishing has been hit and miss on the dolphin the past week but there has been some decent tilefishing and grouper fishing out there. The reef has been pretty good with king and cero mackerel and lots of yellowtails and mangrove snappers. We also had a 9 year old boy release his first sailfish too.
Thursday, July 8, 2010 at 06:55AM Dr. Glenn Scott had a fantastic day of flyfishing in the backcountry releasing 11 tarpon on his flyrod.
Dr. Scott was guided by capt. skip nielsen
Monday, July 5, 2010 at 07:51PM Randy Soth and friend Billy released 25 snook,2 tarpon and 2 redfish and many trout and kept limits of mangrove snapper on june 27. Each angler was eligible for a backcountry slam from the IGFA.
Snook have been on the move around the beaches at Cape Sable. It is really good to see after the cold in January. Also tarpon fishing is still really good especially on outgoing tides.

Friday, July 2, 2010 at 10:04PM We swordfished 3 days in a row and caught 1 each trip, had a some other bites we missed as well. Ken Morris caught his first 2 swordfish, a 95 lber and then the second day got a beauty, which weighed 214 lbs! Mike Broadbent released a 40 lber our last trip out. The dolphin fishing improved a lot the past week from what it had been, we had 20 to 30 fish each day, including 10 big ones up to 45 lbs!
Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 11:33AM Capt. Sid Bryant caught 2 tarpon on fly on 6/28/10 in the morning and saw many more fish moving around. Capt. Rick Stanczyk had 6 tarpon bites last night and there were many fish around so the next few nights should be excellent!
