Yesterday most boats came in with nothing. I
Hurd captains complaining on my way out this morning. so I figured I need to
find a piece of wood floating ( needle in the haystack ) so I headed out deep
26 miles out. A fish came up on the teaser. my mate sean hooked him up, at that
point the rigger went off but nothing was there, so I turned the boat and from
the tower I saw 2 birds, as I got close to them I saw there was a nice
school of fish. We hooked 4 more on 20 lbs spinning Tackeal then the school
left. By the way they were acting I figured there had to be a turtle or board
in the area. So I swing
the boat around again. From the tower I saw some flying fish getting up, so I
headed towards them, as I got close I spotted the fish and the stick in the
water striking 6 inches out. Then it was game on! There was nice fish, big
gaffers and nice size schoolies. We batted 1000 percent today, we managed to
fill the box with every last one of them. all I can say is good thing I had 2
good luck charms on my boat (Tracee, and Nicole)! Big thanks out to Matt, Drew,
Tracee and Nicole.
Whether it be Offshore Fishing or Backcountry Fishing, if it swims we can put you on it. Our offshore charter boat is outfitted with only the best, top of the line tackle, and the best knowledgeable and experienced crew money can buy. After all, Islamorada is known as "The Live Bait and Sportfishing Capitol of the World".

Islamorada
fishing report by Capt Kevin Brown aboard the charter boat Gold Reserve 8/01/12
Well I have to tell you that it was one of the
toughest weeks I have ever seen in 23 years as far as dolphin fishing goes. The
last 3 days I had the pleaser of fishing with a great family out of Texas. The Hinckley’s - sons David and Matt father Jeff
and our good luck charm Jana (aka) Mom
All
I can say is if I had to fish a couple of tuff days with someone I am glad it
was these guys. Are first day we anchored on the reef and caught some
yellowtail, grouper and cero mackerel. Then at the end of the day we caught
this monster barracuda. On our second day we went offshore and hit a school of
small dolphin then we headed to the Islamorada hump and caught a couple of nice
black Finn tunas. Finally on our 3rd day we went out and the dolphin
were back. Big patches of weeds for miles. We hit a couple of small schools and
then we found a pack of some real nice
ones. The rest of the day we picked away all day and put a nice catch together.
Big thanks out to the Hinckley’s for having patient on the fishing

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.
