Haulover Inlet Fishing Report 06.28.12
As I sit here and write this report, the wind is still blowing 30 mph with higher gusts and rain squalls are coming through. Tropical Depression/Storm Debby is taking her time leaving the area. I’ll definitely be glad when she’s gone so things can get back to normal. In the meantime, it’s time once again to get caught up with the action aboard Knot Nancy.
Conditions: Wind from S/SSW @ 16 – 18 knots. Strong north current on a well defi...
Government Cut Fishing Report 06.07.12
The offshore action continues to be outstanding with a variety of fish. Just to name a few, we’ve been catching sailfish, blackfin tuna, dolphin, kingfish, amberjack, barracuda, and bonito. Making the run well offshore and searching for dolphin is now worth the effort.
The tarpon action inshore continues to be good with fish in the 40 to 100 pound plus category.
Conditions: wind from ESE/S @ 2 – 11 knots. Light north current....
Government Cut Fishing Report 05.15.12
I’m long overdue with catching up on the fishing activities aboard Knot Nancy. So let’s get started.
Offshore, the blackfin tuna of all sizes have and are making a very strong showing. If you’ve ever wanted to catch one of these tasty tunas, now is the time. Mix in some sailfish action along with a few kingfish and dolphin and it’s good springtime action.
Inshore, tarpon is still the king and they are cooperating very n...
Government Cut Fishing Report 04.16.12
The main action for tarpon has shifted from Haulover to Government Cut and Biscayne Bay. We are also at the time of year when they are making the switch from shrimp to crabs. During my past several trips we have been catching the tarpon on both types of bait.
John Tentinger fished the last trip I made at Haulover. We caught lots of bluefish, ladyfish, and Spanish mackerel along with jack crevalle. The only thing missing was tarpon, so it’s time to head sout...
Government Cut Fishing Report 04.10.12
During my last tarpon trip at Haulover, the fish have finally moved out of the area. We caught lots of other fish including bluefish, ladyfish, Spanish mackerel, and jack crevalle.
So it's time to move down to Government Cut.
Edward and Billy went two for two on their tarpon trip.
The Graffia Family also went two for two on their evening tarpon trip.
Drew and Andrew were two for two on their tarpon trip. There seems to be a pattern developing.
Bob, Julie, Will, and T...
Haulover Inlet Fishing Report 03.17.12
Here’s a quick report before my next several trips starting this Sunday.
Brad and Harold Coren caught sailfish, dolphin, and bonito on their trip offshore. We had enough wind to fly the kite without helium for about 10 minutes. That’s all it took to have the first sailfish come up to the short bait. The next sailfish ate a flatline bait in 95 feet.
Jason Jackson, Danny Mathis, and Joe Grieison combined to catch cobia, dolphin, tarp...
Haulover Inlet Fishing Report 03.02.12
Tarpon fishing continues to be very consistent each evening. Throw in Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and ladyfish to fill in between tarpon strikes and you keep busy.
Kubs Lalchandani, his sister, Lakshmi, and friend Kyle Marston not only caught 3 tarpon, but also added 6 Spanish mackerel and 1 jack crevalle to their evening of fishing. Both Lakshmi and Kyle are Chefs so they were delighted to have the mackerel to cook. Kubs kept talking about how much fish he...
Haulover Inlet Fishing Report 02.26.12
Most of my trips since my last fishing report have been evening tarpon trips.
The tarpon action has ranged from outstanding to normal for this time of year. The shrimp ran very heavy during two of the trips and we’ve seen shrimp in the water during most of them.
Russell Jones took his first tarpon trip and had the pleasure of see a major shrimp run. This got the tarpon going hot and heavy. Using live shrimp, we went 5 for 8. We als...
Haulover Inlet Fishing Report 02.11.12
Time seems to fly between fishing reports. Once again it’s time to get caught up with what’s been happening aboard Knot Nancy.
Offshore, the sailfishing has been OK. Some days it’s been very good and others have required lots of hard work to try and make it happen. Kingfish have shown up in better numbers with fish ranging from undersized throw backs to 12 – 15 pounds. Just remember the limit is two per person with a minimum siz...
Haulover Inlet Fishing Report 12.19.11
It's time once again to get current with the fishing activities aboard Knot Nancy.
Offshore has mainly been dolphin (mahi-mahi) and sailfish. Throw in some bonito, amberjack, black grouper, and mutton snapper and you have a very good mixed bag of both game fish and eating fish. The biggest drawback to the offshore scene has been the moderate to very windy conditions that just don't seem to want to settle into any pattern. If you can handle the windy conditions, then you're i...

Atlantic Ocean (FL) Fishing Report 11.09.11
Fall has finally arrived and along with it some good to very good fishing.
Offshore, the dolphin (mahi-mahi) are migrating south, sailfish are showing up in better numbers, skipjack tuna are finding the live chum and hitting the kite baits, down deep there are mutton snapper, grouper, and amberjack. You might have to pick your day(s) if you have a weak stomach as cold fronts are now moving through and bringing windy conditions to our area for a few days. There are usually a few days...
Biscayne Bay Fishing Report 12.06.10
I've been receiving lots of calls about "how's the fishing?" This is the first break I've had to sit down and write a report. So, once again let's get caught up with the action.
Offshore has been a mixed bag with a variety of species. The great thing is that when the hook up occurs, you just never know what it might be. The list of fish we've been catching include sailfish, dolphin (mahi-mahi), kingfish, blackfin tuna, mutton snapper, Spanish mackerel, bonito, arc...
