2/19 + 2/20 Backcountry & Offshore action!

Capt. Rick & Nick Stanczyk fished another father/son team over the weekend.  The Hodges were down and did some islamorada offshore fishing and some florida keys backcountry fishing out of Bud n' Mary's!  They caught their limit of kings, some yellowtail, and this nice  33 1/2 lb african pompano on 15 lb test.  In the back, they caught blacktip sharks, a bull shark, a big nurse shark, plenty of mackerel, a couple nice 3-4 lb pompano, and some trout!  They said they had a fantastic time and can't wait to do it again!!!  The water temps in the back finally reached 70 today with a warm south breeze blowing, so look for some reports of tarpon here soon!  Rick Stanczyk fished a half day today, and the mackerel were CHOMPING, every cast!  The sharks were swarming too we caught 4 blacktips, including one 35-40 lber on a 10 lb spinning rod!

Day after xmas, 12/26/10, offshore aboard BnM!


Capt. Nick Stanczyk aboard the BnM was able to get a half day in Islamorada Fishing before the real windy weather came towards Islamorada, Florida Keys on 12/26/10.  They caught a couple real nice afican pompanos off a popular dive wreck nearby up to 30 lbs!  Bottom fishing was good producing a 5 lb mutton, and a 10 lb black grouper.  They wanted some action and jumping so they decided to go Florida Keys Fishing for sailfish, here's a picture of a nice sail they caught!  They ended up catching 3 sails for the day, releasing all unharmed!  They also caught 3 kingfish on this Florida Fishing Charter.
