miami sails

seamonster · 01-16-2008, 02:17 PM

Are there any sails off miami beach yet? Fished drifting with live pilchards in about 80 to 130 feet of water and not a bite of anything just some small brown sharks.

All I've noticed is the fish are deep up and down the line - we had one shot yesterday in Hillsboro in 210'. I have a buddy in Ft. Lauderdale that went 2/3 a few days ago in 225' so all I can say is deep.
Tight Lines!

Down here the sailfishing has been way off this year. The last 2 years it was fantastic. Went out a few days ago for 4 hours and saw 3 fish.. We had 1 of them eat but throw the hook and that was it. It does seem the best time of the day is from 4 to 6 in the afternoon. Hope this helps.

I'll aggree to this too.
My last one at the end of Dec was in 165' off of PE.
I have seen them in as deep as 250-300 recently also.

I also have had the best luck with hoos, nothing wants to touch runners or even gogs but the kings.

Slow trolled or drifted with live hoos has been working for me.
