The heat is on. Florida summer has kicked in, 80's, 90's and scattered storms. There are some nice weather spaces for those who feel lucky! I try to stick with mornings and get it done before the temps and clouds start to build. Most of the action has been hunting Kingfish and Bonita offshore. The Dolphin action has been weak, spotty and very unpredictable lately. But of all the fishing here, the Dolphin is the one fish that can quickly turn you from zero to hero. Just get lucky and stumble on them and you can get into instant action. The inlet is holding some Barracuda and Jacks. I've seen a few Tarpon rolling but no takers lately. The bottom fishing for Snapper can be good this time of year too. It all depends on the conditions, which change daily and sometimes hourly. If you pick the right day and get the right conditions things might come together for you. |

The weather had us keeping one eye on the sky and the other on the rod. We did get lucky though, the rain went around us the last few mornings and the rods bent. The offshore action has been mostly Kingfish and Bonita in the 10 to 20 pound range. Not as many bites as earlier in the week but it is just a trend, by tomorrow it is old news and the action might be fast and furious again?
We did get a nice gift today, at the end of our morning we saved exploring time to try something different inshore. The first bait out got hammered by a nice Snook in the 10 pound range. Over the next 20 minutes or so we pitched 11 live baits and had 11 instant bites. We released 6 Snook, 10 to 18 pounds, 1 Jack about 10 pounds and pulled the hooks on another 4 large fish. It was a blast on spinning tackle and a first for the anglers. This was some of the best Snook action I've seen in a long time considering it was high noon, in a busy waterway. All fish were quickly released. The ending went well too, we tied up the dock lines and it started to pour!

It has been a while since my last update. Hurricane Wilma knocked out my internet service and I had to borrow a way to communicate for the last few months. I am happy to report that I am up and running again for the last few weeks. Luckily my boat and operation surved without a scratch.
The last month has given us the usual winter rollercoaster. We had 2 weeks of GREAT fishng action. Lots of bait and gamefish feeding. Many found my baited rods. Sailfish, Dolphin and Kingfsh rounded out our trips. Now the patterns have changed for the last week or so. We had perfect weather for boating but the fishing was slow the last week. We did get a few Sailfish this past week and a Shark or two but the Kingfish and Dolphin were gone. We are getting another blast of cool weather coming in this week and it will push the hungry fish through our waters and we see the action pick up too.
Take a look at my website for the latest and keep coming back for more.

We made it through another Florida summer! It is still warm but the last few days kept to the high 80's. Today was another perfect day on the water. The first bait out on the spinning rod got taken by a large Sailfish. During the hour and a half battle we had 3 others jump on another bait and quickly come up jumping and throw the hook. We were concentrating on the first fish since it had become a personal battle and we finally released it. We did end up shallower that morning and got into a few nice Dolphin that appeared in very close where we usually get Kingfish. Mixed in with a couple of cut off lines and some mystery bites, the anglers went home happy, packing some filets and a camera full of Sailfish photos.

Hurricane Katrina update!
August 28, 2005
We got through another one. No real problems here, I did just get my electric power back. A few trees and branches down, lots of fences over but that was about it. The storm brought more weather to the south of us into Miami and the Keys. I hope they get back to normal soon too. Yes... we are in business. I will be on the water again Monday and will update the fishing report soon.

We are in the middle of our summer pattern. The Kingfish are cooperating most days with a good mix of big Bonita's too. One day you go through all the bait and the next day you return with extra. The Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) are still scattered and not too dependable. Because of the high risk and high cost of fuel, I haven't had any takers lately. The ones I know that are going aren't coming back with many good reports. We did get a few surprises this week while fishing for Barracuda in the inlet. The Tarpon jumped on the Cuda baits and put on a great show for the victim that grabbed the rod. Lots of air time and a rough workout in the heat of the day, but worth every minute of it.
I just had a video copy sent to me of the TV show we did back in May. It looks pretty good. Some nice Sailfish action, which came as good luck with cameras onboard, and being a but out of Sailfish season. If you have The Outdoor Channel HD, watch for it. It will air the week of August 5. The series is titled "The Professional's" and it is based on captains and guides inviting each other out to experience a different type of fishing as seen from a clients view.

Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Boca Raton fishing report
Here we are getting ready for our first taste of this years hurricane season. Dennis the menace is passing just south of us today. It looks like we will be lucky this time and just get some winds and rain. The fish bit real well this morning. I snuck out to wet a few lines until my anglers decided to go in early. It wasn't all that bad (2-4 footers) but they landed a Sailfish on the first drift and decided they wanted to quit before they saw thier breafast. The rest of the boats were getting similar action, Sails, Blackfin Tuna and a few Shark and Kingfish were filling thier bellies before the weather came. Hopefully this will pass fast and we can carry on as usual.
Sea Ya,

Fishing again...><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸><((((º>
Our weather here is "sunny" Florida has been a little on the rainy side. The first few days of January were beautiful and Terry and I got out on my Mother's 92nd birthday to catch a few fish for us and for her dinner. She loves fresh fish and in fact stated the other day that a lady friend of hers eats more fish than she does! Her grandson brings her "fresh grouper all the time." What Mom doesn't realize is that my clients take home the fish "I" catch on their charters. So, when I get to go fishing, I try to make sure I get something for the dinner table.
When I get a charter out of CB's Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key here in the Bradenton/Sarasota area, I ride by many really good looking fishing spots. But starting in January, I decided to start trying some of these areas. Sure enough, there were fish there. While I'm fishing I can see all the other guides and fishermen passing me by. I think the only ones who know about these spots are the commercial guys. One day I went to this "new" spot and the first fly cast into the water hooked up a fish. Too bad the angler was so excited that he broke it off. Well, maybe my knot failed.."knot" my knots! Just ask the "Ladies, Let's Go Fishing" Manatee/Sarasota Chapter gals if that would be possible. Anyway, that was it for that spot and then of course the tide played a factor, it was really getting too low. I figured we come back at the end of the trip and hit it again when the tide started to flood. We went up to the North end of Sarasota Bay near Bird Key and got into a nice hole that had trout, flounder, Spanish Mackerel, bluefish, ladyfish and one lonely Jack crevalle. When we returned to that "new" spot, well, you guessed it, a commercial mullet boat was in the same vicinity. He wasn't cast netting though, he was using a small legal gathering net and getting a load of mullet! The commercial guys here that I know, Hubert and Terry are really nice guys and I wish them the best for the New Year. They tell me that the mullet season is slow and the crabbing is also. The only good thing about it was that most of the out of town mullet boats didn't descend upon them like in years past.
I helped Marine Dynamics at their Ranger, Wellcraft, SeaPro and Scout booth the other week at the West Coast Boat Show at the new Sarasota/Bradenton Convention Center along with Capt. Phil Hartman. Phil asked if I might help him out by coming up to Lake Harris and fishing for bass with around 19 other boats. He had a group from Davey Tree Service lined up but because of the bass tournament on Lake Harris he was coming up short of bass guides. A couple other "saltwater" guides and myself joined his group for two really nice days of fishing! I can't say that my boat set the bass world on fire. I was told it was a very slow bite anyway but we caught fish and had a great time just before all this lousy weather shut things down. I wonder how the guys are doing; the tournament is this weekend!
Get ready for the Bradenton Herald's 28th Annual Florida Fishing College at the Manatee Convention and Civic Center on Haben Blvd. in Palmetto. I'll be speaking at 11:00am on the Main Stage and also giving a 1:00pm mini seminar for Ladies, Only in the back NW corner as usual. Admission is now $3.00 but FREE parking. Come on over and enjoy the day.
Friday and Sunday I'll be at the Sarasota Herald's Shallow Water Boat and Fishing Show at Robarts Sports Arena on Fruitville Road in Sarasota. CB's Saltwater Outfitters and Marine Dynamics will both be there and I'll be either at one booth or the other! Come check it out.

The wind has finally come down enough to make swordfishing comfortable. It is well worth the time and effort to catch these monsters of the deep seas.
Also, with the calmer seas, you can cover ground more quickly while running and gunning for dolphin. There have been some days where the weed has been scarce. Just look for the birds and you should still have a great day of dolphin fishing.
Tuesday (7/15) evening we ran offshore with our goal being to catch a swordfish. Blue runners were hard to come by, however, we found a few and were happy with what we had. The seas were 1-2 foot and there were scattered thunderstorms in the distance. We got our reward at 10:15 pm when Max Dekelbaum, Scott Levy, and I watched the blue light from our deepest bait streaking toward the stern of the boat. It made a quick turn and ran toward the bow and once again reversed toward the stern. There was no movement of the float. By this time, Scott was frantically winding on the reel to catch up to the fish. Everything settled down and it didn't take long to reel the fish in. I billed the swordfish and saw that the circle hook was in the dorsal fin with the leader wrapped around the pec fins. We quickly unwrapped the fish, took a few quick shots with the fish in the water and sent it on it's way so it could thrill another angler at another time. Scott could hardly believe what had just happened. He caught and released his first swordfish on his first try. He and Max were still celebrating as I put another bait out. The thunderstorms got closer and we decided that it was time to go in. The rain hit as I was bringing in the last bait and we knew that we had made the right decision.
Wednesday (7/16) evening we were back out for swords again. Blue runner fishing was much easier this time and it didn't take long to catch all the baits we wanted. While running out, we saw numerous flocks of birds working over schools of jumping dolphin. We didn't stop, but filed the info away for the Friday dolphin trip. There are times when the wait can be long before the first strike. Tonight was one of those nights. The strike came at 9:45 pm. Earlier than the previous night, however, we were set up much earlier tonight. Bruce Newman came tight on the fish and the fight was on. As the blue light came in to view and then the fish, we were both happy and a bit disappointed as it turned out to be a 5 1/2 foot shark. While holding the leader tight in my hand, the shark made quick work of the mono and released itself. As we were winding in the long bait to run in, it felt heavy and then light. There was no bait, but plenty of scarring on the leader from a bill hitting it. Could have been and probably was a sword. Bruce, you'll get him next trip.
You've got some choices. There are swordfish in the evening, dolphin offshore during the day, and back in on the reef, there are bonito, a few kingfish, and sailfish that are sure to please. I have some open dates, so give me a call to book a trip and lets go catch 'em.

Subject: Ballyhoo
Just came across this message board and figured I'd drop a hint for anyone looking for prime trolling bait. Just east of Anglins Pier at the end of commercial blvd. their has been tremendous schools of ballyhoo hanging around for days. Normally I see them come in maybe once every few months but they have been solid from about 7pm to 5am for about two weeks now! Another hint...if your troling with dead ballyhoo cut the backbone out!! |

Subject: Florida Peacock Bass
This weekend Michael James a professional fisherman & Son Kevin from Mt. Vernon Alabama came down to Florida to experience a new type of Bass fishing (Peacock). Today we fished with both artificial and live bait. On the very first cast Michael set the hook on a Peacock using a buzzbait. Then Kevin put 2 in the boat on shiners as Michael came back with his second. With the heavy rains the night before, the peacocks were down in deeper water, I wasn't spotting any on the surface. Kevin then had his moment, as he watched his shiner submerge down, all three witnessed this 6 + lb. Peacock attach his bait. Being caught off guard with the force of this hard fighter, Kevin dropped his tip giving up too much slack which caused a release, Kevin could only reply "You can't catch them all." As the day went on and got later into the afternoon the larger bass started to surface. Michael spotted two others that would have been in the 6+ range but with no success, they just weren't interested in what we had to offer. Today's count tallied at 16 with 2 largemouth, nothing big only 3 lb. being the largest, The fish today were caught on buzzbaits, rattle traps, and shiners.
Michael determined to catch a bigger Peacock, asked his wife if he could go out again tomorrow. She said sure she had no problem spending another day in Florida.
Day two started out more productive, but this time on my first cast using one of my new sponsors bait, High Roller, on top I hit a nice 3 lb., this was only the start. Today it was just Michael and me, so he was able to put his skills to work, catching one after another. With the weather conditions being hot, sunny & bright the fishing was up to par. We had gone back to where we had spotted those 6 lbers. from the day before, but with no luck, nevertheless catching several in the 3 lb. range. Then Michael tossed a small tube bait into a hole catching the big bass of the day a 4.5 LB Butterfly Peacock, With the day getting hotter and Michael accomplishing his goal we called it a day. This time he managed to put 25 in the boat single handed as I caught 3 just playing around with different lures. Michael is a pro angler and 2 time winner of the S.A.B.B A & P.O.C.O pro tournament team trails in Alabama. Michael has been fishing since he was 8 and said he never felt a Largemouth fight as hard as these Bass from the Amazon. Give "The Hawghunter" Capt. Frank Carbone a call on your next visit to South Florida and experience what many have in the past. Good Fishin' |

Subject: Lake Okeechobee
Rain, rain and more rain. If it's not in the morning, it's granted for the afternoon. Lots of water for the much needed lake, bringing it up to 13'-3" and rising. Schooling fish still the key to loading the boat quickly, working shad infested areas for the first hour or two gets the blood pumping quickly.
Clear pockets of water on the north end around King's bar, Little Grassy and Eagle Bay Island are still producing big stringers of bass. J & S has some scatter fish threw out the area mostly in the one to three pound range, most of the water is pretty dirty are less you go way in side. The south end from Pelgin Bay to the Rita Island has lots of bucks and a scattered jumbo size "Big O" largemouth. East wall, Coot Bay and West Wall are all giving up a few, fish moving from Cross Island and heading inland start looking around the shoal.
We are seeing baitfish moving back into the grass with the water raising and the bass are following.
Fish are being caught on spinner baits, rattle traps, flapp’in shads and worms. June bug is the color of choice.
Fish feeding hard in the morning, but big fish coming at high noon!
Tight lines,
Capt. Todd

Subject: GPS/Boat rental
Anyone out there have URLs of places I can rent a fishing boat for marine (off shore) fishing around the Ft. Lauderdale area. Have car and will travel (hopefully not too far) to rental location.
Also, anyone know where I can find a list of offshore fishing spots, for when (& if) I do get my hands on a rental?
MANY thanks in advance!

FT. LAUDERDALE MARCH 8-10 SEMINAR RELEASE:
Ft. Lauderdale “LADIES, LET’S GO FISHING!”® Seminar Scheduled for March 8-10, 2002 11/01 -- “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!”®, the award-winning fishing seminar series for women hosted by Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) and presented by Mercury Outboards, will hold its sixth annual Ft. Lauderdale area event March 8-10 at The International Game Fish Association Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum and Bass Pro Shops, Dania, FL.
Known as the "No-Yelling School of Fishing," the two-day seminar teaches women fishing, boating and conservation techniques. The weekend event begins with a reception at the IGFA from 7-9pm, Friday, March 8. On Saturday morning, beginner and advanced classroom sessions on offshore, bottom, inshore, pier and fly fishing are conducted by award winning bluewater angler Marsha Bierman, Capt. Bouncer Smith, Capt. Dennis Forgione, Chuck Baldwin and other expert anglers from the area. After lunch, participants practice "hands-on" fishing and conservation skills, including
spin casting, release techniques, net casting, boat handling, backing a truck and trailer rig and reeling against a swimmer in the water to learn how to apply pressure to large fish. On Sunday, a 3/4 day fishing trip is offered, concluding with a Fish Tales Party, where participants learn filleting and share fish stories.
"Ladies, Let's Go Fishing!" also provides a national association offering local chapters. Featured on CBS/The Early Show, the series is partially underwritten by the FWC through the Sport Fish Restoration Program. Corporate partners, such as Mercury Outboards, Bass Pro Shops, Ranger Boats, Boat/U.S. Marine Insurance, Gulfstream Int'l Airlines and Marine Industries Association of South Florida have supported the series, as a way of developing the marketplace for women and teaching conservation. Other partners include Magic Tilt Trailers, Penn, Eagle Claw, Maxima fishing line,
Coleman, Marine Max and more. Other 2002 dates include: April 13-14 in Ft. Myers, June 1-2 in St. Augustine, August 17-18 in St. Petersburg and October 18-20 in Islamorada. A tentative date for a Hawaii event has been set for Aug. 11-13.
Registration for the Ft. Lauderdale event, which should be made in advance, is $105 for the two days, including meals, t-Shirts, goody bags, door prizes and more.

Subject: Fort Lauderdale report
We got into a few good days of action this week. I took my children out for the annual I.G.F.A. junior angler tournament and had a great day. My daughter Kristie won her division with a 15.78 Dolphin and my son Alex caught and released his first Sailfish. We also caught Kingfish, a few Sharks and Triggerfish.
The fall migration is underway and if you pick that lucky day you can find some hot action right outside the inlet. We had a few days this week that produced a nice mix of quality fish. The key here is to luck out with the weather. There has been a constant change in conditions, like there always has been this time of year. As we get deeper into the fall and winter the conditions will only get better.

At Haulover, on the Dade-Broward line, Valerie Rosenberg brought in a 59 pound wahoo on 15 pound tackle aboard the Atlantis. Generally, fishing has been slow. Some dolphin (not Flipper) well into the stream. |
