As the wahoo bite begins to fade and dolphin, tuna and marlin enter the picture, so does the month of March. March remains one of the those month’s where it’s anyone’s guess as to what you’ll catch, whether it will be slow trolling or fast trolling, all bets are on! Wahoo, dolphin, marlin, tuna are all competing for your baits and targeting one or another, you might very well get the QUAD-FECTA of them all. Tuna Alley still seems to draw top tuna fishermen for the lure of the big tuna, found just four miles south of Bimini. Yellowtail remains strong off of Cat Key and just south of Issacs. Locals Capt. Ben and Capt. Stephen Knowles of Golden Dreams both report of having had strong catches in both categories of grouper and yellowtails, and tell us March should be just as strong. Deep dropping continues to be a focal point of Bimini fishing. Yellow eyes continue to be strong in 700 feet, while the queen snappers can be found in about 1200 feet right off of North Bimini. Be sure to bring your electric reels because it’s the only way to catch them up.

Just 48 miles away, always remember, we have the best sunsets and we’re so close that on a clear night you can see the glow of Miami.
