Bonefish, yellowfin, mahi mahi when no one has seen one within 20 miles, thousands of bonito while we don't catch or see one, permit. Almost everything including fish you certainly wouldn't expect to be around here. The tropical stuff only happens once in a while and even then it's only one example of a species. Those traps are very effective though. They catch fish such as bonito or albies weeks or months before anglers do, so they make a great alarm system.

Pete great point about the net and fast movers. IT HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED THINGS. It used to be you had to and fish to find the fish now you can find the fish from your office.

The good guys/ old school guys are still very tight lipped about what's really goin'on.

Another thing, everyone should remember that most of the Bluefin caugtht inshore last year are infants of what they will grow to be. It is great fisherie no doubt, but we must respect these fish. Catching a 15 pound Bluefin is equivolent to catching a 6 inch bass as far as maturity goes. Not many of us take home 6 inch bass do we?
