Well the sun is supposed to be shining down on us by now. Instead we’ve got a front lingering over the Keys causing havoc in the form of 25 to 35 mph winds. Yuck.

Despite the wind ripping out of the north east, dolphin fishing offshore has been pretty hot. Mahi-Mahi up to 35- pounds are being caught off Key West, plus the occasional wahoo and sailfish. The dolphin are still in close so take advantage of it before the summer heat strikes and they move farther offshore.

Tuna fishing behind the shrimp boats is a long haul for most captains. Last report was 80 miles in the Gulf one way! The good news is many of the boats are holding more blackfin tuna than bonito. Don’t forget to fish the bottom here too, mutton snapper like to linger under a shrimp boat that just tossed it’s by catch.

Tarpon fishing has not been easy. The fish are here but difficult to feed with a fly. The harbor guys are having more luck with hooking up using chum and by-catch to entice the bite.
