JUNE REPORT

June fishing report- June is here, and kids are starting to get out of school. The weather begins to heat up, but so does the fishing. In June, we still see blackfin tunas from spring; the kingfish have shown up consistently on the troll. Even though it’s late in the season, we still see sailfish coming through. We have good luck on the shipwrecks for snapper, sharks, and grouper. In summer, we catch all different kinds of sharks- sandbar sharks, bull sharks, hammerhead sharks, and tiger sharks. The Mahi fishing is already happening offshore on our 3/4 and full-day charters, targeting these fish. Yet the reef continues to provide good action on the Dailey. June 8th - Captain Adam on Good Hit 3.0 -blackfin tuna In one instance, Captain Adam hooked the same shark on two different rods. I have been fishing for 20 years and have never seen the same shark eat two big baits. What a crazy experience; we also have pictures to prove it. This was a monster Tiger shark caught by Captain Chad on June 8th- Good Hit 2.0 [IMG_4037.jpeg] Amberjacks are still biting on the shipwrecks in June; we have been targeting them with live bait on more oversized rods to keep them out of the shipwrecks. The amberjack will run into the shipwreck and hide, if you give them enough line. They will find the shipwreck and pop the line in an instant. Here is a picture of Captain Adam with a Healthily Golden Amber Jack.

Around the full moons, we usually catch wahoos, and they are a challenging fish to target because you have to be moving kinda quickly to get the bite. Some select customers have this wahoo bug, and would be willing to risk it all to try to catch one of these fish. While wahoo fishing, we troll planner boards at 7-10 MPH, which is much faster than our average trolling speed. I like to call this style wahoo or bust- you have to be patient, but like this, the angler was greatly rewarded. Not to mention, a delicious fish to eat and can be cooked any way- my personal favorite is seared. Caught by captain Chad on June 14th Sunday, June 18th, we had some great fishing- Captain Chad on GH 2.0 caught a Giant Kingfish trolling planner boards, using a sea witch and Bointa strip. I can’t tell you what colors, but they sure are working. What a great way to spend Father's Day; it was like the all-stars aligned because the fishing was great on a particular day. Lots of father-son duos on this day on the water. That same day Captain Adam, caught and released an 87” late season Sailfish. It was utterly unexpected, and put up a wild fight. The angler that reeled in this sailfish was nine years old, and was a fantastic angler. Both Captain Adam and the young angler had to work together to catch this fish properly. A celebration was in order after this catch; what a Father’s Day to remember. On Monday, June 19th, Captain Chad on Good Hit 2.0 had another fantastic morning. Catching a sailfish, three kingfish, two black, 3 in tunas, and 6 Bonita. Quite the catch if you ask me, it wasn’t Father's Day, but it was a Father’s Day gift.
