Great day today out of Governor's Cut in Miami Beach. Left Naples at 5:00AM was in Miami by 7:00AM. Fishing by 7:30AM. I needed to fill the freezer once again since the wife is always giving my fish away to friends and neighbors. No problem we had a steady bite of fish all day and kept a bunch for the table. Didn't get the Sailfish pics I had hoped for since the mate didn't know how to operate the camera. But he did get a couple out of about 30 he took.

Hank, I saw you were going out with Bouncer, been waiting for your report. Looks like another great trip. I was suppose to go out with him in April, but it doesn't look like it is going to work out. Still looking for one of those sailfish. RIch

Have you fished the west coast of Fl lately ? We are going to Marco sometime in March and have a boat there to use or we might take ours down . I try to stay away from Miami , not my favorite place. Way over rated as a city.

 

[Rattletrap]

Hank, all I can say is WOW:eek2: What a great variety for the freezer and some sail action too. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Jim Hensley]

Very nice hank! I'm always blown away by the variety of fish that you can catch in a day down there. We're you out with Bouncer again? Hope you're enjoying your time down there. Not much going on up here.

Thanks for posting - I think Md was warmer that day .

 

[john pearce]

Shawn someone has to do it 80's all this week
Ele no my boat was docked right behind it.)
Coach23 the Sailfish are thick right now a tournament with 60 boats tagged over 600 Sailfish in two days.
trophypro the extended forecast is for some great weather and the fishing should only get better with the warm fronts
Andy give me a shout when you come down maybe we can hook up
Butch get on a plane and come down your always welcome to stay with me.
Phil I only wish I had my boat down here I might haul it down next year the fishing is outstanding and the variety is amazing.
Jim thanks you never know whats on the other end of the rod which makes it even more fun.
Stepchild beats hunting for Rockfish all the time.
Jack you need to spend more time down at your daughters place you'll never want to go back. Nice scenery on the beach also and a better class then down at the bars at CBBT.;-)
Skip if I fished every day down here I would have to open up a wholesale fish house.:yes:
JP you have an open invitation any time you want to come bring Jamie with you. I hear his father-in-law was looking at places in Naples that would be awesome.:yes:
