The Cobia Wants to Hang Out This Spring Break


When dreaming about where to enjoy the spring break holidays, what cities come to mind? Now is the time to start planning your tour, with its sun-kissed beaches, hugely diverse culinary opportunities, vibrant nightlife, and plenty of culture to absorb.

The bright beaches of South Beach are also home to some of South Florida's finest restaurants, such as the classic Joe's Stone Crab, and plenty of remarkable places to visit. It's where you can even learn what it's like to go Miami inshore fishing on the barrier island.

Cobia migration is one of the most interesting things occurring in the South Florida waters in March and April. Cobia fish are starting to migrate from warm waters in the south along the coast. When they bask up the sun, they love to ride the waves.

There are larger fish to capture on longer fishing trips as the fishing boats move deeper into the water. Fishing for yellowfin tuna and amberjack can be thrilling if you're seeking some exciting spring break adventures. As their body temperature does not slow down such that they are off swimming at high speed, the tuna has some degree of resilience to the cold water. Due to their heaviness when attempting to reel them in, the amberjacks have earned something of a reputation as the "donkeys of the sea,” and few would disagree that they play a major role in the reason why deep sea fishing is also known as sport fishing. The giant red snappers are not going to be in season until June 1st, but for now, they're all catch and release, but you’ll still have tons of fun reeling them in if you happen to spot them.

As the temperatures start to rise, the fish will begin to do the same. King and Spanish mackerel, vermilion snapper, white snapper, redfish, and flounder, to name a few, are spring break fish you might encounter during your fishing excursion.

Booking a Miami Beach deep sea fishing trip is just a matter of making a phone call. Even if you aren’t the most adept at fishing or you’ve never held a fishing rod in your life, a few quick pointers will have you reeling in a catch in very little time.

Happy President’s Day 2021


Today, many of us throughout the country are observing the federal holiday everyone has come to be known as President’s Day. The holiday is typically observed during the third Monday of February and serves as a way to celebrate the man who holds the honor of being the first-ever President of the United States: George Washington. Ever since the Uniform Monday Holiday Act was decreed by Congress, the 15th through the 21st is the regular “window” when President’s Day is observed.


President’s Day has a couple of interesting facts. For one, the name “President’s Day” isn’t exactly official, it also goes by the name of Washington’s Birthday. Although it was meant for George Washington, the modern interpretation of President’s Day has since evolved into a celebration of former and current presidents. Depending on the state, the holiday's name can also differ.

A common legend of George Washington was that, during his youth, he chopped down his father's cherry tree after being given a hatchet."It was proven by young George, who spoke his now-famous line, "I cannot tell a lite" after being confronted by his dad. As a result of this occurrence, cherry pie is a common food consumed on President's Day.

All Eyes Are on Super Bowl LV




Super Bowl LV at Raymond James Stadium in Tamps is happening this weekend, pitting the Kansas City Chiefs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Super Bowl LV marks the first time the teams have ever played against each other in any Super Bowl. Furthermore, this Super Bowl marks only the second time that the Buccaneers have ever made it so far and it’s the first time a team is ever playing a Super Bowl in their stadium. The Chiefs, on the other hand, may make NFL history as only the eighth team to repeat a Super Bowl win after they successfully defeated the San Francisco 49ers last year.

Besides the potential for a historic win, the Buccaneers have Tom Brady as their quarterback for the first time after he achieved victory with the New England Patriots. This is Brady’s tenth Super Bowl appearance, earning him an NFL record. If Brady wins, he will become the first player in NFL history to win a whopping seven NFL championships.

Which team are you rooting for?

Boating Trip Leads to Massive Catch


Last week we told you about the group of friends and their 750+ swordfish catch. If that wasn’t impressive enough, some South Florida boaters recently managed to one-up the swordfish catch by snagging one of the sea’s most fearsome predators: the great white shark.

According to WSVN, a pair of boaters began their day by catching a couple of much smaller bonito fish. It was when they used their deep rod submerged over 400 feet into the water that they felt the jaws of a much, much larger sea dweller clamp down. Catching the fish proved to be quite the challenge as it took close to an hour and a half to reel in the formidable great white shark, which ended up weighing more than 1,000 pounds and measured about eighteen feet!

Those concerned about what may have become of the great white shark will likely be happy to know that the fishermen released their colossal catch back into the ocean.
