We expect the sailfish bite to continue to be solid as we have had a nice north current the past few days. The Spring action is here, folks!

The shark fishing continues to be off-the-charts with big Hammerhead Sharks topping the charts! Large Bonitos are also mixed in with the Blackfins. We’ve also been targeting Blackfins by trolling Sea Witches and Bonito Strips at 5 – 6 knots. We’ve been catching Blackfins in the 10 to 20-pound range inside of 160 feet of water on the same live baits under kites as we use when we target Sailfish, as well as slow-trolled live baits. We’ve been finding the Kingfish in between 70 and 150 feet of water. When they’re not crushing our live baits under the kite or slow-trolled, Kingfish have also been responding to our strip baits trolled below the surface on planers along with as Islanders with ballyhoo in both the blue/white and red/black color combinations. Like Wahoo, Kingfish have teeth that are more like surgical scalpels and they fight hard, which is why we call them “smokers” – they will smoke your drag on scorching runs once they’re hooked. King Mackerel (‘Kingfish”) have been prowling the reefs a little shallower than the Wahoo to pounce on our unwary kite baits and they make for a nice one-two punch with the Wahoo on the outside of the reef. These are truly world-class catches and we’d love for you to get in on the action! The Wahoo and Kingfish don’t want us to forget about them! Some huge Wahoo have been piling onto our kite baits, slow-trolled live baits and our trolled strips. Toothy Critters: Wahoo and Kingfish are Tearing up the Baits

Goggle Eyes as well as troll our specially-crafted mullet strips. We can also slow troll live baits such as Pilchards, Ballyhoo, Blue Runners and When there is not enough wind to keep the kites in the air, We’re fishing between 90 and 225 feet of water. Nothing gets the blood pumping like watching a double- or triple-header Sailfish bite up on the surface.We can fish up to three (3) live baits per kite, with at least two (2) kites up at any one time. It is an amazing experience as you get to see the Sailfish literally come up to eat the bait. The Sailfish continue to stay in the area and are feasting on nearly every bait that we throw at them! Our clients have been catching and releasing large numbers of Sailfish as we fish live baits underneath our fishing kites.
