Florida Fish Report

Hello everyone;  Well today was a good day of fishing.  But, there’s always a but.  We had heavy loses today, as the larger Bluefin wanted to play today.  At one point we were 0 for 10 on bait, and just couldn’t hook one on the kite.  We had many fish blow out on the kite baits, but none would hold.

 Largest Bluefin today was a 125 pound bluefin, caught on a single speed reel, and  50 pound test.  It was a very long battle for the angler and crew.  We also caught a handful of Yellowfin tuna in our count today.  Most of the Bluefin landed were in the 35 to 50 pound range, with a handful of 70 to 90 pounds.  The Yellowfin were in the 35 t0 40 pound range.

Weather today was excellent, with 8 to 10 knots of breeze, sunny and warm.  We fished from sun-up to sun-down, and then some. 

We are now headed home and will depart on our next 1.5 day trip tomorrow night.  So until then, good luck and good fishing.  Team R/p.
