    Sorry this is a day over due but hope it helps someone. Left the harbor at 715am and headed out to 400’ lines in and continued to 550’. With a slight lean to the East we trolled north to south from 350-550 and went 16/22. Monkey puke, carbon 14, black and raspberry, and blue dolphin took most. Only one hit on a FF and nothing on spin doctor. 200&300 copper dipsey on 1 out 175 and 200 and riggers down 65-90 all had activity with the above spoons. Nice mix of matures, juvies and steelies. brought home 8 kings and 3 steelies for the table.

    Nice. Glad someone made it out. Haven’t been on the water in over a week myself.

    I run snubbers on my dipseys. When we have lost fish after short battles they are spread throughout our setup. Riggers coppers and dipseys. The only thing I can figure is the fish are coming in from the side and get the spoon horizontally in their mouth with the hook on the outside. When they turn away if they go to the hook side it sticks them good, if they turn to the line side the spoon is pulled across and out of their jaw and the hooks never stick well. When we are getting repeated 45 second releases any fish we do land are usually stuck in the outside of the jaw. That’s my theory anyways and I’m sticking to it. the launch fee at olcott is good for the day for the vessel listed on the ticket.

    finished the day 8/10. We had 8 in the boat by noon and then had two come unbuttoned within 45 seconds of the hit between noon and 1230 and then never moved a rod and called it at 2. East breeze started to ripple the water at 1130 up until then it was almost slick calm

    I use the TD to check the running depth of my dipseys and coppers through the day. I particularly like to send it down on a rod that is having more hits that the others to confirm depth and them check the others to see why they are not firing. It’s eye opening to check a dipsey on the port side and then check the starboard and see that they may be sometimes 15’or more difference in depth due to current or a crabwalking boat due to wind push. It happens even more often with coppers.

    Fished due north out to 300’ no marks came in to 140’ hit two small coho. Found significant bait on bottom between 70-80’ no takers.

    I don't see the idea behind the small shot. Sure you may get a lot of small holes in paper at 50 yards but you aren't going to penetrate the bones of a turkey head and neck with 9 shot at that distance or further. Besides isn't the point of hunting turkey to try and outsmart the bird with the brain the size of a peanut and call them in close. Shooting turkeys at extreme distance is the equivalent of sky busting waterfowl. Learn to be even a moderately competent caller and get the birds inside 50yd.

    March will most likely be iffy for tarpon. Backcountry should be on fire. Check out Florida sportsman on line keys section for good info. AOK and piner wahoo are both well thought of on that board but book quickly. If you can rent a kayak put in around duck key or Anne’s beach. Channel 2 is a good very productive area. Wind will be your biggest issue, March is super windy. Best of luck, Andiamo Outdoors 716-998-3358

    Location?

    The area got hit hard with red tide this past fall. Inshore fishing has been tough on the best days this spring. Offshore grouper/ snapper fishing was not overly affected.fishing for migratory species was also very lightly affected. snook redfish and trout have been hit hard. Florida sportsman forums southwest section has some good discussion of this topic. Tight lines Andiamo Outdoors

    East winds are rarely good for fishing or water conditions the further west you get. East winds yesterday had waves build to 4-6’ by 1pm off Olcott rolling along the shoreline. The oak should have been under the same conditions. Even staying close to shore was not allowing for any reduction in wave activity. At this time of the season kings will be off the shoreline 100fow or less any wind not blowing a little out of the south gets things pretty stirred up inside. Hope for winds that are at least a little out of the south.
