Trip Summary
Another solid day offshore out of Biscayne Bay. Conditions lined up perfectly with clean blue water pushing in, light southeast winds early, and steady current along the weed lines. The ocean had that perfect springtime look — birds working, bait stacked up, and mahi flying through the spread.
The mahi bite stayed hot all trip long. We found active fish along floating debris and current rips, keeping the crew tight on the rods from start to finish. The highlight of the day was a quality gaffer mahi that hit hard and put on a show before coming over the rail for the dock shot.
It wasn’t just mahi either. The reef and offshore grounds were loaded with action. Throughout the day we also got into:
Blackfin tuna
Kingfish
Bonita
Barracuda
Mutton snapper
Yellowtail snapper
Cero mackerel
A few bigger fish made appearances too, including smoker kings and a couple mystery fish that absolutely dumped drag before finding freedom. That’s what makes May fishing out of Biscayne so good right now — every pass has a chance at something big.
Overall, exactly the kind of day you want offshore in South Florida: blue water, bent rods, and fresh mahi headed to the filet table. The spring bite is in full swing and only getting better from here.
