Capt. Damian Maher, with friends and family from Grand Rapids Michigan, report sailfish off Bamboo Point just south of Cape Eleuthera. This sail hooked on to his ballyhoo and put on a show of aerial acrobatics. The sailfish was released unharmed.
Captain Callie reported another Sail off Bamboo point caught this week. Local Captains advise that Sails have been known to gather at this point where the bait fish ball up against the wall at the edge less than a mile offshore from Cape Eleuthera.
This father son team from Michigan spent Easter week with us to hook up dolphin, yellow tail and yes the son’s first Marlin, a Black at over 170#s from off the bridge.
Guests from Denmark also reported a cooler full of “yellow tail snappa’s” and how much they enjoyed our new solar fish cleaning wash down stations conveniently located around the marina. The dined for the first time on real smoked fish–Fresh King from da deep smoked at Barracudas Bar and Grill. I think they will now trade that for the traditional smoked salmon back home! They promise to send in Jonna’s shark catch picture so look for this posting later.
Tight lines
Water has reached 80 degrees, which means the dolphin are moving into the Cape Area, especially enjoying an outgoing tide when the wind is blowing from the South to the North or West to the East, pushing and gathering the weed up into the “Pocket” at the Cape where the deep wall meets the bank of the Schooner Cays.
Frigate Birds are reported off shore all week. Kingfish, Wahoo, Dolphin and one marlin were report caught off the Cape these past weeks by Charter Captain “Callie” and several other fishing boats based at the Cape.
Reef fishing has been excellent and will only continue to get better as March moves into April for Yellow Tail and Mutton Snapper. Several break offs reported at the wall as the hungry and powerful large groupers gobble up good size live baits cast netted in the marina and or chunk Ballyhoo and Barracuda.
A dozen lobster were reported tricked out of hiding from the wall of rocks and reef that show the way into “No Name Harbor”, but you have to be prepared to look deep into the crevasse. Seems the lobster are holding in the water water closer to shore.
