Summer is not usually a time when we target sailfish off our coast. Â Warm temperatures and big sailfish catches do not really go together. Â That being said the last two weeks has seen some of the best sail fishing in quite some time. Â Every year strange things happen within our fishery out front that are difficult to explain. Â
Â
One thing we can say is that migratory patterns of highly migratory fish like the sailfish change year to year. Â I believe that sailfish usually travel in deep waters during the summer but not this year. Â Over the last week many boats fishing live bait have released near double digits of sails. Â One boat out of Hillsboro inlet "Ring Master" caught 3 sailfish earlier this week on the troll using a planer method of fishing. While the wahoo fishing has been decent you may want to target sailfish this weekend.
