Rain and wind stay away! January was a bit on the wet and windy side. Yuck! This month, we are getting geared up to try our hand at some yellowfin. Yes, I said it yellowfin. I have reports coming in from Hole in the Wall that these die hard fishermen are chunking it up to find that tasty fish. Normally the month of February will still produce a nice catch of wahoo and your typical deep drop selection of queen snappers and groupers. Slow trolling will give you time to relax as you pull your skirted ballyhoo through the deep blue sea. Enjoy your fishing, and remember a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work!

Tight lines!
