Bayside Mack Attack

My crew from Virginia had me hustling most of the day Monday. We went through at least thirty wire rigs. I ran out of wire about two hours before the normal end of the trip. But that wasn't a big deal because the fish box was full. It was almost all macs with one nice Mangrove snapper. We lost one very nice seatrout and a few bigger fish on the light tackle during chaotic bite. With three or four fish on at a time. I don't know what the final count was but we hooked up at least 100 fish in about five hours.

If you want to load your freezer with Mackerel, right now is a good time to do it. After the crew tried my fish dip recipe, they are planning on doing just that. If you check my cooking label you can find the fish dip and fish cake recipes that are pretty tasty. I recommend grilling or smoking the mackerel before freezing. The meat keeps a lot better that way. The crew should email me some pictures pretty soon then I will post them up.

In other fishing the sail bite has been slow but seems to be improving. Dolphin and wahoo along with a few Blackfin tuna are off shore. The reef has been red hot when the wind is with the current. Bridge fishing has been a little slow but the rock piles in Hawk Channel have been very productive. Come on down and do a little catching.

Marathon in the Florida Keys should be your next fishing vacation destination. Join us for charter fishing, fishing guide trips or our fishing 101 so you can fish on your own with better success.

Tight lines,
