9.12.14 Fishing Report

There is no doubt that the 2014 "Mullet Run" is here in South Florida and in massive numbers!

As we are on the rumpside of the full moon, the fair amount of rain and the slight weather change we may recieve over the weekend, we can predict some consistent and predictable fishing action!

OFFSHORE-
Wahoo should be generating a bite over the weekend in a 200’-300’ depth of water.
Dolphin fishing is now sort of a guessing game of what depth they may be in but keep searching in all depths of water in hoping to hook up some fresh Mahi-Mahi for dinner.
Blackfin tuna have been captured in 250'-350’ of water out of the Palm Beach Inlet and have reported being fairly small.
Snapper fishing has been slamming on the hook out of Jupiter Inlet,…

Living at or near the beach has actual health benefits resulting from being near the sea.

Join the South Florida community on two coastal cleanups all happening on Saturday, Septemeber 20, 2014.

Trash on the beach and in our waters such as food wrappers, straws, cigarettes and bottle caps can disturb aquatic existence. Balloons are repeatedly found at the cleanings, this item could block sea turtles and other animals’ digestive tracts. Fishing line and hooks can tangle marine life and also hurt humans walking along the beaches.

A new artificial reef was just created off of Hollywood, Florida’s shore in Broward County. The sail boat that was sunken has fascinating history and was named Usikusiku, Swahili for “twilight.” The vessel was manufactured in South Africa and was conveyed to the coast where the two owners set sail for the first time to the Caribbean Islands. After their travels, the couple became parents and decided to reside in Fort Lauderdale, Florida ever since.

The couple donated the sailing vessel to the Broward County Artificial Reef Program. The program prepared and cemented the sailboat to get it ready to become a part of the ocean's sea floor, Usikusiku, was then sunken to become a part of The Hollywood Dive Trail. Created for divers, The Hollywood Dive Trail is a…

Have you ever wanted to experience diving on coral reefs but wanted to look it up online first to see the involvement before trying it?
