Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 05:55PM Capt. Joey Hendrix released 4 sailfish on 1/25/11 to take 2nd place in the Al Flutie Over the Hill Sailfish Tournament. It's a fun, one day tournament, where the only requirement is: you have to be over the hill to fish it! Nice Job!
Sunday, January 23, 2011 at 03:12PM We put the team together for the 2nd leg of the Florida Keys Gold Cup Sailfish Series and took 1st place in the Cheeca Lodge Sailfish Tournament. We fished aboard the "Bodacious" with Capt. Taylor Walsh, Mates Shay Danzig and John Hagen, and anglers Henry Danzig, Allen Wood from Forrest Tek, Topher Wightman, and Capt. Nick Stanczyk. We caught 6 sailfish the first day to take the lead and then followed up with a double header on Saturday to secure the victory with a total of 8 sailfish releases over the 2 days.
Saturday, January 15, 2011 at 08:50PM Quite a few boats fished today off Islamorada and every boat at Bud n' Mary's had a nice catch. The Reel McCoy caught and released 4 sailfish on a 1/2 day, the Kalex had their limit of cobia to 50 lbs! as well as their limit of king mackerel and some yellowtail snapper for dinner. The Cloud Nine also had 4 sailfish releases as well as 4 nice cobia up to 45 lbs. On the Bn'M we released 2 sailfish, 10 barracuda's, caught a few cero mackerel, and then finished the day off with a few cobia, up to 40 lbs. Get on down here for some Florida Keys Sailfishing while it's still a hot bite!
Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 05:36PM Every year the local bartenders get out on the water for a one day fun day sailfishing tournament. We had Skyler and Tara from "Dillon's" and mangaged to take 1st place with 7 sailfish releases! Skyler also won high point angler with five releases. It's the 3rd time in the last 5 years we've won.

Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 02:44PM The Islamorada Fishing Trips are still very productive. We caught and released 5 out of 8 sailfish yesterday, as well as keeping half a dozen schoolie size dolphin (mahi-mahi) for dinner. We fished a half day this morning and managed to catch a nice wahoo while kite fishing and then right at the end we caught and released a big atlantic sailfish after a 40 minute battle. The Kalex has been catching lots of king mackerel the past few days, as well as snappers and porgys. This morning he also had a big cobia close to 60 lbs in the boat. Come on down while the fishing's good and the weathers nice.
