Species

            Fishing in South Florida is full of surprises because you never really know what you will catch.  The availability of a particular species is often dictated by season, sea conditions and weather patterns.  During the winter the emphasis is on the high flying, tail walking sailfish.  A typical spread involves the use of a kite as well as several flat lines and even a rod fished on the bottom.  Most of the time, we will be drifting with the aid of the wind and current.  While waiting for Mr. Sail we often catch kingfish, dolphin, tuna, and wahoo.  Another winter time favorite is the mighty tarpon a.k.a. the silver king.  Tarpon are a fantastic target because the pull hard and spend much of their time in the air.  One of the best things about tarpon fishing is that you don't have to run very far or get up early.  Most fish are caught just a few hundred yards from world famous South Beach.  Just imagine catching one of these prehistoric beasts while admiring the Miami Beach skyline.  After our winter and spring fishing season it's time for dolphin and snapper.  Dolphin can be caught trolling or running and gunning which involves looking for diving birds or other signs of feeding fish.  Snapper can be caught by anchoring and chumming or buy deep dropping in 200-400 normally using an electric reel.
