Hey Folks’
Here is what’s been happening lately with the fishing in Flamingo. Out front you can fish all day and see 25 to 30 free jumping sails and sailfish finning on the surface . Very few are coming in the baits for the bite, but they are there . Maybe they are breeding and when they get done with that they will be xtra hungry . We are going further north and raising 15 to 20 sails a day with an occasional marlin bite . A few wahoo and tuna are showing up too.
`July 1st - Peter Hughes and David Daniels from England fished all day raising 14 sails with 11 bites ,catching and releasing 7 . They also caught 4 dorados, releasing one and keeping three for dinner .
June 24th – Mark and Brooks Bailey and their friends from Saint Augustine , Florida surfed in the morning and fished long enough to catch a 40lb wahoo , a 35lb tuna and they had 3 chances at sailfish but couldn’t hang on to them .
June 23rd – Sally Dare and her crew fished a Half day at the Catalina Islands catching a 30lb rooster fish along with a mixed bag of bonitos , jacks , needle fish and mackerels .
June 21st – Frank Delatore and his friend Patty from Ft. Myers ,Fl. raised 4 sailfish , releasing 2 of them . They also caught a 50 plus lbs Dorado .
June 18th – Luther Penny and his friends Darrel , Allen and Beth from North Carolina went fly fishing for sailfish . They raised 10 sails , had 4 bites , releasing 2 of them .
June 17th – The newly wedded couple Austin and Brooks fished a half day at the Catalina Islands catching 10 bonitas , a wahoo , a big jack , some blue runners for live bait and a hand full of mackerels .
That’s all for now from the Gamefisher II . Stay tuned in for more reports ,
Good luck to all,
