I spoke with Kigsbury & Sons Tackle in Ft. Lauderdale this morning. They were telling me that there are good numbers of dolphin along weed lines and debris 8 miles offshore. Troll ballyhoo, live bait, or skirted lures along the weeds to locate the fish. When you get a hook up, mark the spot and circle back to set up a drift. Use chum to bring the dolphin close to your boat, then feed live bait or cut bait into the slick on medium action spinning tackle. King mackerel are following bait schools close to shore. Troll live bait or "king" spoons just outside of bait pods in 100ft of water. Tarpon fishing is good just off of the beaches. Look for rolling fish early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Watch to see what direction they are heading, then swing well outside of them and in front of them, set out your baits and wait for the school to come to you. A live blue crab or fresh dead sardine should be fished on the bottom along with a crab and live sardine under a float. For more information contact;
