Our fishing year has drawn to a close with a flurry of good action over the last week in December. The waters close to the reef drop off have been particularly productive. A lot of bites from a variety of species. Smoker sized King Mackerel have really increased in numbers over the last week with several fish topping out at the 40 pound mark. Happy New Year to all, we look forward to more great fishing in the new year.

Lots of outstanding fishing over the last week, and great variety as well. Everything from pelagic fish like Tuna, Sailfish and Wahoo to Kings and reef fish like Grouper and Snapper. Have a merry Christmas and enjoy the photos.

The Dolphin fishing seems to be winding down although we are still catching some. The Kingfish bite is improving and we have caught our first “smoker” Kings (those over 30 pounds) just in the last several days. Blackfin Tuna are also biting better. The reef has been providing consistent action from Yellowtail, Cero, Bonita and Grouper. Sailfish action has at least temporarily slowed down.

The Dolphin bite continues even as we move into the month of Dec. It should be way off season for these fish but they remain around in very good numbers and very close to the reef edge. Most of the Dolphin we have caught recently have been in 150′ to 250′. Sailfish and various reef fish are making up the rest of our catch.

From a former 1st mate

Brad,

A long time since we spoke or have seen each other. Was fishing with Richard Gibson in the Presidential Challenge Aruba Cup earlier this month and of course our time fishing in St. Thomas was revisited and discussed in detail! It was one of the best seasons I’ve ever had fishing in over thirty years across the globe and the reason was YOU amigo. The time spent as one of your deckies was by far the best lesson any crewmember could ever hope to experience and I wanted you to know of all the Captains I’ve fished with…(Kalex, Flash, Peter B. and Laurie Wright, Brynner Parks…etc) I learned the most from you.

Lots of north wind with cooler weather is bringing the water temperatures down in the Key West area and establishing the conditions for good winter fishing. Ballyhoo are congregating in huge schools along the reef and attracting preditors of all kinds. We have been catching Sailfish, Dolphin, Blackfin Tuna, Cero, and Mutton & Yellowtail Snapper all in 20′ – 30′ of water on the shallowest reefs where they are feeding on the plentiful Ballyhoo. It’s quite a sight to see a giant school of Ballyhoo errupt out of the water with countless Frigate birds and sportfish in hot persuit.

We have had a mixed bag of fishing opportunities over the last week. Sailfishing continues to improve, along with King Mackerel, reef fish and even a few late season Dolphin

After more than a week of very strong winds associated with the passage of Hurricane Sandy, calmer conditions have returned. We have also had the first cool weather of the season. Sailfish are increasing in numbers along with Blackfin Tuna. Plenty of Amberjack remain on the wrecks and Yellowtail are biting on the reef edge.
