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!

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!

Capt. Rick Stanczyk has had a couple good days fishing the pathces the last few days. Sunday we had a nice catch of muttons, a couple fair sized groupers, a dozen or so mackerel, and a few little reef sharks. Today we fished the same area and caught more mangrove snappers and jack crevalles, we also caught a 25 lb crevalle that we fought for 45 minutes, very exciting! Also some tarpon beginning to show up around some bridges rolling and what not which is good to see! http://www.seethefloridakeys.net

Greg and Sarah Bowers fished with me today out near Sandy Key and Cape Sable west of budnmarys about 20 miles. In the morning a few redfish kind of quiet due to a huge incoming tide but when the tide turned and started going out the action lit up. 75 trout released with a few kept for dinner and pompano,mangrove snapper,sheepshead,jacks and ladyfish keeping up busy all afternoon. A fun day.
