Fishing report

Islamorada Florida Keys – Capt Kevin Brown aboard the charter boat Gold Reserve

Today we took out a great family from new jersey. The seas were calm and the fish were biting. We caught 300 pilchards on our way out. And some blue runners. Then we started trolling for the Islamorada hump. On our way out we caught 2 nice dolphin. When we got to the hump and dumped 100  pilchards over hoping to raise the black fin tuna. This did not raise the tuna so we dropped for the amberjacks. On the radio you could hear some of the boats calling in other boats to come over and take their school of dolphin. they were already loaded up.8:30 a.m. wow !!!!  Anyways we hooked 4 and lost 2 to the sharks one was eaten by a 600 lbs. tiger shark right next to the boat. So we kept one for dinner and released another one. After that we took off looking for dolphin. didn’t take long filled the box and headed for home. Another awesome day fishing here in Islamorada.

Thank you

Capt Kevin Brown

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

Today the wind finally dropped down. It was a beautiful day off Islamorada. We headed out with long time customers trolling offshore for wahoo and dolphin. On our way to the hump we caught a 25 pound wahoo and one dolphin. The black fin tuna were biting well. After catching plenty of them we dropped for an amberjack which we hooked up right away but the sharks were not going to let us have it. There was a lot of sargassum weed coming through so we ventured off looking for dolphin. We only found one more after looking for an hour and trolled for home. We had a great time with wonderful long time customers, the fish bit and it was a beautiful day here in Islamorada.

On Wednesday we went out with a steady 25 knot wind. We went to the bait patch where mom and dad and the 2 boys were sick. Grandpa asked if I could take them back and drop them off so we did. Then Grandpa and Grandma - Christy and Cal headed out with me and first mate Haden. We trolled out to the hump, 12 miles offshore in 4 to 8 foot seas. We found a war bird on the deck and caught a schooly dolphin under him. At that point we were close to the hump so we put the tuna feathers out. Two minutes later a 25 pound bull dolphin jumped on one. Well I have to tell you it was quite a fight in those seas with such light tackle and after 15 minutes we pulled the hook. It was just not his day to die. When we got to the hump the small black fin tuna were biting very good. After taking 15 of those we headed to look for some dolphin when we found a pallet floating with dolphin and wahoo. My customers did great fishing in these seas. After playing with that we went and caught a 50 pound amberjack and headed home. That’s what we call a victory at sea kind of day.

Islamorada Fishing report from Capt Kevin Brown fishing on the Gold reserve charter boat. The

wind has been blowing for weeks, however we are getting out almost every day. The current has recently picked back up again , and there were some weed lines in 300 to 400 feet of water with Mahi on them. Some Mahi weighed up to 40 pounds. Every one that fished that day managed to catch at least one. It was a great day out there and we all had lots of fun. Today the big amberjacks were biting the second our bait hit the bottom. We also caught some black fin tuna and tried to find some dolphin and wahoo. The tuna and dolphin did not want to play today so, we went in on a patch reef the last hour of the day. We anchored up and caught a dozen yellow tail and six nice mutton snappers. The coffin was full at the end of the trip, what a great day!

today March 10th www.goldreservecharters.comI took out Julie and Roy that went out with me on Thursday and caught lots of snapper. (Well Julie caught lots of snapper!!!) We headed out and stopped at a bait patch. Made one throw with the cast net caught 100 cigar minnows. Easy living we had a live well full of blue runners from the day before and another live well full of cigars. We trolled to the Islamorada hump using 2 wahoo rods down deep and 2 lures in the riggers hopping to find some wahoo, dolphin, tuna or maybe a sailfish on our way out. The seas were finally calm and it was a beautiful calm day out. No bite on the way out but when we got to the hump the black fin tuna were biting very well. After catching a bunch of them we dropped down and the amberjack were biting the second you hit the bottom. They each caught 2. The cooler was full and we trolled back for home . Another successful day on the Gold Reserve. Check out the video. I have to say Julie is a lucky lady to have such a understanding husband .most men that have their wife out fish them 3 to 1 would not bring her back out again J just kidding today Julie let Roy catch up with her and redeem himself J thanks guys I had a blast fishing with you 2 !!!!!

Thank you
