The last few weeks have been tough. Tough for everyone in fact but there's a light at the end of the tunnel! March is usually a warm month but this year we saw a few additional cold fronts then normal and the skies were light blue and fishing was very challenging at times. The last few days I've been catching decent amount of tuna throughout the day but mostly during afternoon charters. That being said, they can bite all day, sometimes or not at all. Wahoo have made an appearance as well with a few decent fish being caught on the planers while trolling. March is typically the time where amberjack move around the wrecks and are caught dropping live baits on heavy tackle and several lbs of weight just to hit bottom. The current in South Florida can at times be ridiculously strong, so strong in fact that anchored ships seem to be underway due to their wakes! That's right, a wake while being achored. When the current is that strong, it can be hard to fish a ship wreck because you'll have to drop a long way ahead of the wreck and slowly drift back over the spot. Fish can move behind structure just to tuck away from the current. Blue water from the Gulfstream will be much closer at those times and wahoo and tuna will be biting. How about mahi mahi? A few have been caught but nothing to write home about and Sailfish continue to move through in decent numbers but are still not guaranteed. Water temperatures are beginning to warm slightly and spring weather will bring in much better fishing from now through summer!

Theres been a good tuna bite most afternoons and the king mackerel and mahi have been biting in the early morning and late afternoon.
