Cold Weather doesn't stop the fish from biting!

We had Anthony and his wife out today aboard the Bn'M for a Florida Keys Fishing Trip. They each caught their first african pomano, a couple of crevalle jacks, and Mrs. Terry released her first Sailfish! Great work! The KALEX had a nice catch of king mackerel and snapper and the Relentless released a sailfish, had a bucket full of yellowtail snapper, and a few kings as well.  Great way to end a day Islamorada Fishing!

The Reel McCoy strikes again!

This past weekend, the Don Gurgiolo Sailfish Classic took place. The Reel McCoy finished in 1st place! Captain George McElveen put his team on 8 sailfish over the two days. Captain Alex Adler from the Kalex fished on the Fighthing Lady and they finished in 3rd place with 4 sails.

Good work Guys!

Florida Keys Sword Fishing Still Hot!!!

We left yesterday morning, 12-11-10, at 6 a.m. for another Islamorada Swordfish Trip. After running for a couple hours we reached the sword grounds and on the first drop, after about 15 minutes of waiting, we hooked up a nice daytime swordfish. The Crew on the BNM consisted of Capt. Richard and Nick Stanczyk, along with Capt. Vic Gaspeny and Eddie Yannetty. After an hour long fight we put the 145 lb fish in the boat. We missed a couple of other bites over the next few hours and then about 4 p.m. we hooked another decent swordfish. After 50 minutes of battling, the fish rolled over and we put a 155 lber on the deck. We lost one more fish after that and called it a day. Ended up catching 2 swords and losing one other on the leader. It was a beautiful day fishing the Florida Keys and even better when we reached the dock at Bud n' Mary's Marina.

Reef fishing keeps getting better...

We've been averaging at least a couple of sailfish each trip the past week. The Snapper and Grouper fishing has been really productive as well, making for some nice dinners. The king mackerel have been a little hit and miss but there still has been a handful of nice kings around.
