Marathon NON fishing report
 

I hope non of the other CSC folks were down there last week dolphin fishing. It was the worst I've ever seen it in over 30+ years fishing down there. We had three boats at our place and my brother's buddy had his a few miles from us, total dolphin caught for four boats for the whole week.....five. I did have a few "firsts" on this trip, 1. first time I have ever been skunked, 2. first time I've ever been skunked two days in a row and 3. first time I've been skunked three days in a row.

The charter Captians were also coming in with zero and the big catch I saw Thursday was four schoolies, which was his best day in five straight, and he got those 50 miles out in 2500'.

It was ugly!!! I did the math and our three boats used just over 500 gallons of fuel.

No need to ask if I was happy!!!!

Same report from the west end. Found birds, weed lines and drift wood....... Nothing. At least we had conch and tequila.

headed to Key West in 2 weeks ..... hope it gets better !!!

Well Rusty it can't get worse! Good luck. Little bit of info, we never had wind from the east, only the north and west.....the kiss of death down there.

Friends are down in the lower keys now and apparently doing pretty well on the snapper.

thanks guys !! fingers crossed the wife doesnt get called out in the next 2 weeks !!!

Snapper has been good here.

Anyone else miss the entire Cobia run this year?

I did... got the new etec on and running... need a disregard prop still be killed the snapper for the last 3 days of fed snapper...

Crimeny Rusty,

Get some ice before they get sunburned...:D
tasty tacos coming right up...

i imagine snapper makes excellent ceviche too, no?

nice catch:cool:

I don't think I saw one since around January. About 2 years ago,they were thick here in the middle of July. So maybe there's still hope.
