Fresh Private Marina Stuart Fishing Reports

The wind finally stopped blowing and we had the opportunity to get out and fish. It was a beautiful day with calm seas and plenty of action.

Tjis oast week has shown spectacular number of sailfish being caught, as well as a intermediate mahi bite. Kingfish still holding strong in the area as always this time if year. Great time of year to fish weather permitting!

January Fishing Report January is shaping up to be a fantastic month for fishing, especially for Sailfish, which are abundant and actively feeding. Trolling ballyhoo or live bait along color changes, rips, and temperature breaks has been producing multiple hook-ups and plenty of acrobatic action. Alongside the Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi are starting to show up in good numbers, with some impressive fish being found near floating debris, weed lines, and temperature edges. They’re responding well to small lures, rigged ballyhoo, and even live bait, providing an exciting mix of action and excellent eating. Out on the hill, the Snapper bite remains steady, offering anglers a chance to fill the cooler with tasty bottom fish. To top it off, the occasional Wahoo is being caught on deeper drop-offs, hitting high-speed lures and planer setups. The variety and quality of fish make this a great time to hit the water!

Started out the day with a couple swordfish drops with no success. Slid in to the tilefish grounds and caught our limit pretty easily. Ended the day trolling for wahoo. The ocean was beautiful with lots of life!

Great Mackeral fishing happening right now.

The ocean hasnt been the nicest this winter but when were able to get out fishing has been really good. Tilefish quota was reached and closed today 2-29. Sailfish have been strong as well as big mahi, black fin tuna and snappers.
