Winter is around the corner and so are the sailfish! The really great thing is that the dolphin haven’t left yet. I have never seen dolphin fishing like this in October and November. We have had good summers and early falls before but this has been better late season fishing than I have ever seen. The fish are not only close to the reef but they are the usual 4 to 12 lbs that we usually see in the fall. Add to the picture a few sails, kingfish and swords and you have a recipe for great fishing trips. I don’t know how much longer this will last but we’ll take it for as long as mother nature will provide it.
On the sailfish scene, congratulations to Capt. Bill Wheita and the Blue Time fishing team for their convincing win in the Sailfish Cup Tournament last week out of Miami. They caught 13 sails in the 2 day competition. Sailfishing has been good but not great overall. We have seen a lot of green water this past month after having huge amounts of rainfall in September and October. It shows signs however of clearing out and blue water moving in. That’s all for now—I hope you can get out there and enjoy some time on the water!—Ray
