FISHING REPORT

The Gulf Stream fishing made the biggest advance this week.

 

Finally, warm water pushed inshore from the Gulf Stream and provided favorable water conditions, and like clockwork, the fish showed as well. In particular, the Wahoo action was strong. Also, the Blackfin Tuna showed up in good numbers as they pushed schools of Flying Fish to the surface. They were quick to bite small trolled feathers, and some fishermen even targeted them by sight casting surface plugs. A few Mahi began to show as well, but it is early yet for them. Look for the next week or two to provide mixed action from Wahoo, Tuna and Mahi before the big push of Mahi shows up in mid May. Great fishing lay in wait in the Stream.

 

 

That's the report. Stay tuned to www.OIFC.com for daily reports on fishing action. The OIFC fishing team is packing up and heading to Jensen Beach, FL to compete in the first leg of the SKA Pro Tour. Last year the team finished 4th in the event; maybe this year's event will be as successful.
