Islamorada fishing Report from Capt Kevin Brown aboard the charter boat gold reserve 7/19/12

Today I took my good friends from Cabo san Lucas out fishing. Nancy, John, Tim and marry And showed them how we do it here on the east coast. Islamorada style!!

We stopped for live bait because the fish are not eating well. After  throwing  the net one time we had 75 cigar minnows and we were off. We trolled out to 19 miles and the fish were everywhere. Big schools of heavy lifters and gaffers 100 fish in a school. Like I suspected the fish would not eat anything but live bait. Luckily for us we took 10 minutes to catch them. They pulled on mahi until their arms fell off and asked me to stop . I made them catch a couple more and we went home with are box full. Just another awesome day on the gold reserve



Thank you

Islamorada fishing report from Capt Kevin aboard the charter boat gold reserve

On Monday 7/16/12 we took out the smith family offshore. Fishing started off slow. We got out about 25 miles offshore and we hooked into a blue marlin. He came up jumping and shaking his head took out allot of line and then we pulled the hook. Very exciting never the less. I decided to keep going offshore out at 30 miles we finally ran into some weed and birds . 10 minutes into the weed we found the south American high flier that broke loose from a long line. It was loaded up with fish gaffer and heavy lifters it was fast action for over an hour. The smith kids wanted the high flier. So we put it on the boat and brought it home. That night the 2 strobe lights on it went on in their back yard . pretty cool

Islamorada fishing report from Capt Kevin Brown aboard the charter boat Gold Reserve 6/31/12

On are evening trip we went 2 for 3 on the tarpon and also landed 4 sharks in 3 hours

7/1/12 This morning we headed out. The seas were very calm the dolphin bite was slow yesterday so I headed for the Islamorada Hump. Aboard I had a father Paul and his 2 young sons .On our way out we missed a big wahoo L. But when we got to the hump the black fin tuna were biting good and it was none stop action the hole time we were there. Catching these fish on 20lb spinning tackle is a blast. Anyways while we were catching the tuna a 200lbs blue marlin came from under the boat and engulfed one of our tuna. This blue marlin came up tail walking 50 feet off our transom what an awesome site!!! This alone was worth going out there. Anyways on the way home we caught a monster barracuda to end the day. Paul and his 2 sons will be going back out on the Gold Reserve Tuesday evening to catch tarpon and sharks.
