Capt. Ted's Fishing Report for 04/25/2012

  Greetings once again, this is the fishing report for the Florida Keys, Islamorada, Key largo and the Everglades National park from the father and son team of "Skins and Fins Charters and Guides". Well let's get to it! Spring is here and with that comes the mighty Silver King, AKA Big Tarpon. Our tarpon season seems to be in full swing now and will last through mid July. With the water temp reaching up to 78 degrees or higher it is"Game On"!! Fishing the sunset live bait trips using live crabs and or mullet proves to be the best way to catch this fish of a life time. Spring is also the beginning of the Mahi Mahi summer run on the offshore side, these are great fighting fish and great eating fish provide family fun for the deep sea fishing charters. Out the backcountry and flats of the Everglades we have been pulling in some real Big Sharks! Sharks up to 9 foot are being caught on the half day fishing trips, there has also been a great bite being reported of Redfish and some large Snook. Hats off to Captain Donnie Benbow for fighting and releasing a 14/15 foot Sawfish, the fight lasted over hour and a half and was a true test for his Anglers to release the rare monster fish, great job!!! This is what's been going on in our neck of the waters, want to give it a try? Give us a call. If we are already booked, Captain Donnie and I work with some great Tarpon guides, Offshore Charter Captains and will be glad to make sure you find the right trip.

Til' then this is Captain Ted and Captian Donnie Benbow asking you to " Keep it in the Shallow Grass"
