Miami Fishing Report Updated May 3, 2013

Capt. Alan Sherman
May 3, 2013
Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report


Most people think spring showers when April rolls around. Not me! I think April brings
great inshore spring fishing and that just what we have here in South Florida. The winds
have been up this month but they are always up and that is one of things that spark the
fishing. All of the predatory species that migrate south for the winter have been heading
north as water temperatures rapidly warm up in South Florida. As they head north they
stop for a visit in North Bay and that has set us for some great fishing.

Fishing in North Biscayne Bay has been very good. Working the protected areas of
North Bay with live baits fished under a Cajun Thunder float, on Rapala X Raps and
Skitter walks and Hookup lures tipped with Gulp and Trigger X baits we have had great
catches of large sea trout, bluefish, snapper, ladyfish, Spanish mackerel, snook and
tarpon.

Fishing in Flamingo has been just how I would expect it this month. The warmer
conditions have the snook, redfish, sea trout, jacks, ladyfish and sawfish feeding on
almost all of our Flamingo trips.



I have not made it offshore in some time and that is because of the winds.

Freshwater fishing in the Glades has been outstanding but that will change as soon as
the rains set in and the water levels rise sending the fish back into the shallow
conservation areas.



All of our fish have been caught using Daiwa spinning reels, Suffix line and Key Largo
rods.

My new 22' pathfinder powered by my Yamaha 250 SHO four stroke engines continues
to please my clients.
The fishing is still great and so is the weather.
Plenty of open dates for you to choose from so give me call, text me or hit me on Face
Book and lets set up another great fishing trip.

4-30-13
My family and I recently had an opportunity to spend three days and
two nights with one of our favorite families the Scott's on Broad Key
a private island managed by the University of Miami's Rosentstiel
School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The island is located just
north of Ocean Reef and south of Adams Key. The island hosts a five
bedroom, six bath house, a care takers house, boat house, private dock
and a helicopter landing on its 63 acres and is surrounded by pristine
bonefish, permit and tarpon flats. Accessible from the water or by
helicopter and protected by watch dogs and a care taker the island is
set up mostly for the University of Miami's college students but on
occasion is occupied by families like mine and the Scott's. My friend
Brian Scott won this stay as a door prize during last year's Lionfish
Derby.

My family launched our boat from the boat ramp at Biscayne National
Park and in just 20 minutes we had tied up to the dock at Broad Key.
Our boat was loaded with enough supplies to cover us and a little left
over for the Scotts. The Scotts arrived just minutes after us having
left from the North Miami area earlier in the day. On board their boat
was Brian, Margie, Trisha and Trisha's fiancé Pat. On our boat was
myself, wife Dana, son Zachary and daughter Courtney.



















After unloading and settling in we met curator Evan who showed us
around the island and being anxious to take advantage of the calm
conditions that were forecasted to be windy and rough the next day we
boarded our boats and headed offshore to see what we could catch.
Hoping to catch enough fish for dinner and having two different plans
on accomplishing just that we headed into two different areas. We
planned to use our Minn Kota I-Pilot to hold us in position over some
good looking bottom in hopes of catching some large snappers and
kingfish. Brian's boat was set up more for trolling so they headed
further offshore to look for dolphin.

Having found a good looking spot in 100 feet of water we put a chum
bag out and started fishing. We had fresh frozen ballyhoo and silver
sides for bait. Armed with bottom rods, top rods and yellowtail
outfits we went to work. With the VHF radio on we could tell it was
going to be a tough day of fishing by the chatter. A nice north
current had us excited but the bites came slow. The first two fish
came on silver sides free lined. Both fish were bonitos. One was kept
for bait and the other was released. We had a few strikes on a free
lined three hooked ballyhoo but no solid connections. A few cut offs
confirmed that they were kingfish but we never got a solid hookup. The
bottom baits being ballyhoo just were not getting the job done so I
cut the bonito up into strips. I baited Dana's bottom rod and just
like that she had a nice five pound mutton snapper in the boat. Her
next bait was a 10 pound black grouper that made it back to the bottom
after being properly vented. All this time our Minn Kota I-Pilot
trolling motor kept us on the spot. After a few more missed hits we
were anxious to try our deep dropping rig to see if there were some
tilefish around.

We headed offshore into waters that I have never fished before. It
took a long time to get offshore definitely a lot further than we have
to travel when fishing offshore of Miami. We dropped our deep drop rig
in 650 feet of water. The current was ripping and after letting more
than half of the Daiwa's Tanacom Bull 1000 reels line out we cranked
the line in and headed back to the reef. After contacting Brian's boat
on the VHF we were informed that they had no luck trolling and only a
few bottom fish. Back on the reef and in 120 feet of water the
Humminbird recorder marked a bunch of fish under the boat. We dropped
our baits back to the bottom but no bites. Zach kept seeing something
under the boat and in the chum line so he dropped a R&R Sabiki rig
into the water and just like that his Key Largo rod was doubled over.
Zach fought the fish to the surface and almost every hook had a medium
size bluerunner on it. Not what we were looking for but just like that
Zach spots something swimming to the boat and screams dolphin. Zach
grabs a rod with a Rapala X Rap and is hooked up immediately and soon
everyone is hooked up. We kept six dolphins just over 24 inches and
released about the same amount before the school moved on.

It was getting late and we had enough to feed the eight of us plus
some so we headed in. Once back to the Island the Scott's had beaten
us in. As we approached we asked if they had any luck and they reached
into the fish box and pulled out three 10 to 15 pound bluefish. I
hadn't seen bluefish this big since my party boat days and was excited
to see them. They informed us that a charter boat had been catching
one after another of these big migrating bluefish and waved them in to
get into the action and they did. Thanks Cap for making their day!

After cleaning the fish, the boats and ourselves we started getting a
fish fry started. Everyone pitched in and soon all eight of us were
sitting around this huge table in the screened in Florida room
enjoying fresh fried fish, tossed salads, cold beer and great
conversation. Evan came later and had a big plate of fish and sides.
RJ a young lady that was staying in the owner's home came by and had a
bite to eat. When Evan had finished eating we fixed a large plate of
fish and sides for him to drop off at Tim the care takers home.
The weather changed as predicted but the three days that we shared
with the Scott's on this quaint 63 acre island will stay fresh in our
minds for the rest of our lives.
Thank you Broad Key Island, Evan and everyone that was responsible for
this beautiful get away.

If you're interested this island is for sale for a mere $20 000,000.

Hot fishing in South Florida is coming with the Spring Season!
Capt. Alan Sherman
March 16, 2013
Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
Time for a Get Em Sportfishing South Florida Fishing Report!

Last time I sent out a report I was hoping that the recent cold
weather would spark a late late fall migration. Instead the warm
weather and then cold weather seems to have confused the fish even
more. Despite of the weather changes it looks like the fish are
getting ready for their Spring migration and our residential fish are
preparing to spawn.

The fishing in North Biscayne Bay has been steady for sea trout that
have weighed in at up to 4.75 pounds. Lots of bluefish in the one to
four pound range, a few Spanish mackerel, no snook or tarpon for me in
the Bay but that should change as the water starts to warm up again
and we had five gag groupers to six pounds and lost another much much
bigger with all except one of these fish being caught on ¼ ounce red
Hookup lures tipped with a Gulp shrimp. All of this action came in
less than six feet of water..








I fished South Biscayne Bay in the Finger Channels last week and was
pleasantly surprised when my anglers caught and released two porgies,
a two pound yellowtail snapper, a 15 inch mutton snapper, got cut off
by a mackerel and had a few grunts as well. All of this action was cin
less than two hours of fishing.

I have only been able to get offshore a few times recently mostly
because of the wind. The last time I got offshore it was with my wife
and we caught one nice golden tilefish in 650 feet of water and a
small dolphin that came from under a floating stick. We had dozens of
dolphins under the boat with some being close to 10 pounds but they
were not interested in our live baits. The lone fish we caught ate a
Rapala X Rap. Seems these fish were only interested in schools of
small flying fish. There has been a large school of Spanish mackerel
just off the beach and I hope to get into them on Monday.




I have had a number of Flamingo trips recently but only a couple when
the wind was not blowing or when the temperatures were above 60
degrees. On some of these trips air temperatures dipped as low as 48
degrees. BRRRRR! We had mixed results during all of these trips but
the best were when the temperatures were above 70 degrees. On these
trips we had Spanish mackerel, black drum, redfish, sheepshead,
snappers, jacks, ladyfish, snook and sea trout. With warmer conditions
on the way the Flamingo fishing can only get better and more
interesting. On one note we have seen a lot of American crocodiles.
For anyone concerned about the vultures damaging their vehicles in the
parking lot the birds have disappeared. When they do return the Park
has a box filled with tarps that can be borrowed.














All of these fish were caught using Key Largo spinning rods, Daiwa
Advantage spinning reels, Okuma spinning reels, Shimano spinning reels
and Stren and P-Line lines.

What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and let's go catch some
snook!

After almost three months of what I describe and a lot of my fellow
captains and guides have described as the worst fishing in South
Florida in recent memory we may be seeing our weather pattern and
hopefully our fishing returning to what we are more used to during the
winter. Who would have thought that a storm named Sandy would have so
much effect on so many people along the east coast of Florida! With
unseasonal warm weather conditions leaving us behind and cold fronts
lining up the way we expect them too this time of the year it may not
be too late for us to salvage our winter fishing season.
Offshore anglers in the past few weeks have seen more
Spanish mackerel along our piece of coast then they have all year.
These fish had not been close to beach but out in 20 feet of water.
Further offshore some large kingfish had moved into the area and
sailfish catches have picked up considerably. A few wahoo, blackfin
tuna and gaffer size dolphins have been caught in the past few weeks.
Tilefish continue to be available in the deep water. Tarpon have been
feeding along the beaches and in the ocean inlets but recent rough
conditions have made it impossible for me to target them.

Inshore in North Bay small bluefish, Spanish mackerel
and jacks have been keeping my clients busy while trolling Rapala X
Raps around the few baitfish schools that we have found. Now I am
hoping that bigger mackerel and bluefish and more baitfish schools
will return to the Bay. Sea trout, bluefish and small mackerel have
been holding on a few grass flats in the Bay and have been hitting
Hookup lures tipped with a Gulp bait. Fishing live shrimp over the
grass flats has been almost impossible due to the large amounts of
pinfish that had been on the flats. Hopefully the cold weather will
have chased the pinfish off the flats. Snook and tarpon have almost
disappeared in the Bay recently. Large jacks are roaming the Bay in
search of baitfish schools that have been scattered throughout the
Bay. We have had a few red groupers to 20 inches but these fish are
still out of season but made for some rod bending action.

Flamingo has had some of the best action with catches
of redfish, snook, sea trout, bluefish, mackerel, pompano, jacks,
ladyfish, black drum and sheepshead. Key to this fishing has been
getting the days with the milder conditions. I have a string of
Flamingo charters starting tomorrow and with warmer conditions
predicted I am excited by our chances at some great fishing. And as
always the amount of wildlife around the Park is always breathtaking.
On Monday we were treated to the sighting of an adult bald eagle and a
juvenile eagle together.



All of these fish were caught using Key Largo spinning rods, Daiwa
Advantage spinning reels, Okuma spinning reels, Shimano spinning reels
and Stren and P-Line lines.

What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and lets go catch some
snook!

As we move into the month of February it's time to get caught up with
the inshore and offshore fishing in South Florida.

Let's start with the best first!




Flamingo in Everglades National Park continues to be the hot spot for
me recently. This past Saturday produced snook to 9.5 pounds, redfish
to 24 inches, and bluefish to four pounds, plenty of jacks, ladyfish,
a small flounder and over two dozen sea trout to four pounds. All of
this action took place with live shrimp fished under a Cajun Thunder
float and with Hookup lures tipped with a Gulp shrimp during very wind
conditions. Add to that action all the wildlife you will see in a day
on the water and around the Park and it makes for an exciting South
Florida day on the water. This past week we had a bottlenose dolphin
eat a live bait right off our hook next to the boat. At the boat ramp
a wild American crocodile was sunning itself on the asphalt at the
marina.

83 year old Gene A with her backcountry slam caught in Flamingo!









North Bay has been mostly up and down with baitfish schools moving in
and out of the Bay. One day the bait is easy to find the next day very
hard. The same goes to say with the bluefish and Spanish mackerel that
have been working the few baitfish schools in the Bay. Every day that
I have been able to locate the baitfish schools I have also been able
to find bluefish, small jacks and a nice mackerel feeding on those
baitfish. Besides the mackerel, small jacks and bluefish there have
been a few snook to eight pounds caught and some bigger ones lost.
Some big jack crevalles to 11 pounds have found some of my clients
baits recently and provided some hot fishing. We even had a catch and
release of a 33" cobia in the Bay last week. Plenty of sea trout
although most have been small except for the over 20 inch fish that we
have had are scattered throughout the Bay. Casting Hookup lures tipped
with a Gulp shrimp is getting the most strikes from the sea trout. On
many of our recent charters we have seen lots of bottlenose dolphins
and manatees.















Offshore fishing continues to be hit and miss with only a few
kingfish, sailfish, dolphins, bonito, blackfin tuna and bonitos
biting.

In South Florida our weather this time of the year can change with the
drop of a hat and so it is with our fishing. One location may be only
fair today but tomorrow can be a whole different story.

I am often asked when is the best time to fish? Normally I answer with
"When you Can". From now till December everyday no matter what the
weather is is the best time to fish. Miss a day during the Fall
Migration and you may have missed the best fishing of your life!

All of these fish were caught using Key Largo spinning rods, Daiwa
Advantage spinning reels, Okuma spinning reels, Shimano spinning reels
and Stren and P-Line lines.

What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and lets go catch some
snook!
