Mutton Snapper while yellowtail fishing 4-3-10



























Fishing Report April 10, 2010

We have been working the reefs on Northern Key Largo and have been having success with yellowtail snapper and the occasional Mutton Snapper and Grouper. Offshore the Dolphin bite should pick up any day now. Good southeasterly winds should get the fish moving. Sailfish bite has been excellent this week. We heard numerous reports of triple hookups. The Blackfin Tuna are also showing up on the edge. You wand to have plenty of live pilchards and chum to get these fish biting. Remember they are boat shy and will ussually strike 50 yards beyond your boat.

BIO

Ever since his uncle took young Jose out to the Rickenbacker Causeway back in 1973 he knew he was hooked. Jose continued to fish the party boats such as the Seabreeze, and Reward out of Miamarina in Downtown Miami on a weekly basis where he continued to gain knowledge from Old Salts like Captain Alec and Freddie. Today this area is known as Bayside Market Place. Jose continued his passion on local commercial lobster boats as a deckhand during his young years but gained most of his angling experience from fishing local charters and party boats in the Key Largo and Islamorada area. In 2005 Captain J Lopez put his passion to work shortly after purchasing Gordy's Dusky and decided to show his passion for fishing to others. With over 25+ years of local knowledge Captain J Lopez strives to learn and give his anglers on board a memorable angling day to remember.
