Fishing Report Week of March 4th

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

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.
