The disappearing tarpon after dark act continued again last night. Before they left, we caught and released a 36" jack crevalle, and a 60# tarpon. Once it got dark, the only bite we got was from a mangrove snapper that was released.<br><br>Today, our goal was to catch a few dolphin (mahi-mahi) for dinner. Fishing aboard my clients board, the first challenge we had was his livewell pump burnt out. Bailing 5 gallon buckets of water kept the herring and pilchards alive. We also caught just a few baits. In 275' just north of the sea buoy, we found 2 boards and caught the fish we wanted for dinner. We spent the rest of the day trolling artificials and watching small tuna feed in 400'. Sailfish and kingfish (yes, they have finally started showing up) were being caught in 115-150 feet. We have a great weather forecast for the next several days, so get out and enjoy the South Florida sunshine and catch a few fish too.<br><br>Captain Dave Kostyo<br>Knot Nancy Fishing Charters<br>305 620-5896 Charter<br>305 732-2628 Beeper<br>www.rnfl.com/knotnancy<br>nkostyo@bellsouth.net<br><br>
