Patches still good with this cold weather

Had Alan Hunter out on the patches Thursday and there was a good bite of mangrove snappers.  Everyone we caught in one area was a keeper fish, up to 14 inches.  We also caught and released some red and gag groupers, a bunch of grunts, and a mutton snappers.  We moved a little closer inside as the wind picked up and caught some more mangrove snappers and a few yellowtail even.  Never got the mackerels going out front but snapper is better anyways right!!!

Bn'm 2-8/9 reef report

We had Don and Jim out yesterday afternoon and then this morning, both on 1/2 day trips. Fishing was pretty good both days. Monday afternoon we caught and released 20 cobia's and kept a couple for dinner. The biggest was 22 lbs. This morning we sailfished for a little while without any bites so we decided to anchor down on the reef for a couple hours and had non stop action. We caught a couple of yellowtail snappers for dinner, half a dozen cero mackerel, let go some black groupers, too many blue runners to count, and then at the end Don hooked a big king mackerel, and 20 minutes later boated a 26 lber!

Great action on the patches on superbowl sunday!

Capt. Rick Stanczyk had a great day fishing the patch reefs close to shore on Sunday before the Superbowl!  With the strong north wind it wasn't too bad getting out to some of the close patch reefs on the ocean side.  They caught a bunch of groupers of various type, lots of big cero mackerels, yellowtails, a nice keeper mutton, and a couple keeper hogfish!  Great action for a short afternoon trip!  http://www.seethefloridakeys.net

Lots of action in the backcountry!

Fished a 3/4 day on Thursday with Stan down from Michigan.  We caught our limit of nice mangrove snappers in about 20 minutes off a little sunken boat out towards the gulf, then went and caught a dozen or so nice spanish mackerel along with a few jacks.  Ran out further into the gulf and caught some more of the same and 4 little blacktip sharks, nice to see the sharks returning from the cold.  No cobia's or goliaths but I'm sure they'll show up as it warms up.  We ran inside again after that and caught some nice trout and ladyfish for 30 minutes before heading back in.  Good times especially with light tackle!
