Sails, Dolphin, and Tarpon - KnotNancy - 03-23-2003
[font "Arial"][size 2]Picking up from my last report, here is the day by day run down on the fishing off Miami Beach and Key Biscayne.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Tuesday and Wednesday, we had little to no current and dirty green water. Despite these conditions, there were sailfish caught on Tuesday. Fishing from Bill Time on both these days saw us with a sailfish on Tuesday along with 2 remoras. The remoras can become very pesky when there is no current. On Wednesday, we spent some time in the 95-190 foot range with no results. Moving out to 250 feet, we found blue water and north current. We got our reward in the form of a 14# bull dolphin, 22.5# cow dolphin, and a schoolie size dolphin. All this action took place in about a 30 minute time frame and then the action stopped for the remainder of the day.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Thursday morning the conditions made a drastic change. The wind picked up and we found blue water with north current in to 85 feet. All of our action took place from the middle to the north end of the anchorage in 95-105 feet. Unfortunately, one of my anglers experienced motion sickness. When we had a fish on, the condition seemed to disappear, however, once the fish was released, the condition came right back. The half day trip flew by for all except one angler. Results were 1 for 3 on sailfish, and 1 bonito.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Thursday evenings tarpon trip had another angler experience motion sickness. As with the day trip, the condition seemed to get better with the catching of a fish. Government Cut continues to hold plenty of tarpon. Just a bit of a slow down over previous trips, but a respectable 2 for 4 evening.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Friday evening the tarpon made a stronger showing. Bob Caskill of Miami caught 4 of the 6 fish that we hooked.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Saturday evening, we had to work hard to come up with some good results. We got 2 out of 4 tarpon, with the big fish (120#) of the evening being caught by Henry Succop of Miami.[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2][/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Captain Dave Kostyo[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]Knot Nancy Fishing Charters[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]305 620-5896 Charter[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 2]305 732-2628 Beeper[/size][/font] [font "Arial"][#0000ff][size 2][url "http://www.knotnancy.com"]www.knotnancy.com[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "Arial"][#0000ff][size 2][url "mailto:nkostyo@bellsouth.net"]nkostyo@bellsouth.net[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font]
