Hello Everyone

Fishing Report 4/2/12 from Capt Kevin Brown aboard the charter boat Gold Reserve here in Islamorada, Florida.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday the wind stopped blowing and the ocean was very nice and calm.

On Saturday we went out and crushed the yellowtail snapper. Every drift we got a bite. After that we trolled out to the hump and caught the black fin tuna. It was a great day !!!

Then on Sunday I took out Jacob and Ham. I have to tell you these two little guys are by far the best fishermen I have had on my boat this year. Naturals by God, it was like having 3 mates on board !!! We caught the yellow tail and then went looking for the wahoo and dolphin. We didn’t find them so we hooked up some big amberjacks. Problem was the sharks were not going to let us have them. So we went in and live baited the reef with big baits called speedos. Anyways it was a little slow but we had a blast. Jacob and Ham went back out that evening and caught 5 sharks over 100 lbs.

Then on Monday we went back out and headed for the hump. This time these two fishermen beat the sharks and landed 4 big amberjacks. After that we went looking for the wahoo and dolphin but did not find them. So we went permit fishing. We could see the permit and get baits in front of them but they would not eat. So we caught some big barracudas. We headed for home and they are back out again tonight doing a tarpon and shark trip

 Yesterday Jacob and his dad Eric went out fishing with us. We headed to the hump where we caught the blackfin tunas. after leaving the hump we put the dolphin spread out and suddenly we saw a 200 lb blue marlin swimming down sea. I turned the boat too put the lures in front of him and he was hot on them. My mate Haden watched the fish whack the lure with his bill then he dropped the lure back and hooked the fish up. After he dumped on the reel and an hour long fight we pulled the fish in the boat for pictures and then released him. It was an amazing catch!! 



Thank you

Capt Kevin Brown

    I really want to write about it. Your site is just perfect for my article! I would like to post it in
    your site if it is okay with you- free of charge of course.
