The bite’s been extremely consistent the last few days. With moderate amounts of pilchards available at bug light, we’ve been live lining and kite fishing off Key Biscayne and Miami Beach. The weather’s been favorable with a steady breeze out of the south east, delivering sustained winds to keep our SFE’s in the air without helium assist.
Todd’s new camera has an excellent rapid fire mechanism which has supercharged our documentation capability. We took it for a test run yesterday afternoon and hooked up with a brilliantly lit up sailfish which ate a pilchard in 160 ft of water.
The fish made a blitz for deeper water, grey hounding across the surface and thrashing the entire way.
We managed to capture some awesome GoPro underwater footage of the fish as well – which i’m working to edit. The fish circled the boat for some outstanding video footage before being released unharmed.
