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? Starting now, you can use Google Maps to find panoramic views of a manta ray flying along the bottom of the ocean floor, schools of exotic fish forming together and find coral reefs with all variation of colors. It would be like scuba diving an underwater safari from your computer pad or smartphone.

The U.S. governments of scientists are concentrating on underwater fisheye lenses for capturing subaquatic sanctuaries nationwide in hopes of scattering the videos and panoramic images into “street view” mapping within Google Maps. There is a small collection on Google Maps for now, such as Bermuda, Galapagos, Monaco, Belize,…

Fishing Report 9.5.14

The full moon of September is on this upcoming Monday, so the fishing should be very good over the weekend.

OFFSHORE –
This time of the year, little blackfin tuna are showing up in 250‘-350’ of water from Palm Beach Inlet to down south. If you troll daisy chain lures that is a excellent way to get the blackfin tuna in action! If you find a nice size school of blackfin tuna, possibly put wahoo lures out and around them. Wahoo may like to change up their meal from bonita to blackfin tuna around September. Trolling at high speeds in 150’-350’ of water would be ideal for wahoo fishing in South Florida.

Sailfish have been hanging around all summer and are biting kite baits from 150’–300’ feet of water or so depending on the current. Mutton…

The recreational harvest season for Florida’s leading game fish, snook, has opened as of September 1, statewide Florida anglers are getting prepared to hook some snook. The snook season opened on Labor Day and will last until December 14th on the Atlantic coast and this year is predicted to be better than they have been in a long time.

Most years in the past, it seemed as though the snook can sense when the season opens and closes. However, this year the weather has confused them a bit as the abundance of rain fell later in the summer rather than in the early part, so they may be off track by a few weeks. The local fisherman are predicting the odds of actually catching a keeper will be up to the 15th or 20th of September.

In addition, I received some…

Fishing Report 8.29.14

Snook fishing season opens, college football season starts, typical South Florida weather and a three day weekend… Life is GOOD!

OFFSHORE-
Weather was very jagged earlier in the week but is shaping up to look like a very fishable weekend. Dolphin should make a showing and the east winds may even push them in a little closer than they have been. If you’re in the 200’-400’ range of water trolling for dolphin, consider putting a daisy chain way far back for a good chance to catch a blackfin tuna. On the ledge, you will find a few kingfish, Bonita and sharks. Be ready to keep the rods bent offshore this weekend.

INSHORE-
Snook season opens on Monday September 1st (Labor Day) and they are swimming everywhere. Snook have mullet on their…

South Florida is not only known for its fantastic fishing but also its fish feeding. It’s not Tarpon fishing its Tarpon feeding. These giant silver kings are considered one of the great saltwater game fishes not only because of their size but also their fighting spirits when hooked. They are very strong and make spectacular leaps into the air to spit out the hook.

The Atlantic Tarpon collect at numerous South Florida marinas and people congregate to the docks to get a chance to feed the huge fish, sometimes even by hand. One of the classic and well-known Tarpon feeding experiences is at Robbie’s Marina in the Florida Keys. The giant tarpon are used to being hand-fed and they congregate…
