We had Colter Watsabaugh from Jackson Hole out the other day offshore... He started the day by catching a dusky shark about 225 lbs that we released, and then ended the day by catching his first swordfish which was 186 lbs!!! Great Job!!! We also lost another one at the boat in the morning...

Spring time fishing offshore

Capt. Nick Stanczyk — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 02:10:57 +0000

Well the dolphin have been kind of hit and miss the past couple of weeks, catching a few 2 days in a row, but none the past trip. Anyhow, we had Nigel from London out 2 days ago and caught a few fish in the 10 to 20 lb range, a handful of dolphin in the 3 to 5 lb range, with one really nice fish that weighed 40 lbs! We have also been catching a few blackfin tuna, and amberjacks while offshore.

Good Reef Action
