We started heading offshore but it was very uncomfortable did one drift and slow trolled for a few hours with out a bite.  I decided to move in and fish the range marker just outside of Government Cut.  Anchored up put out a chum bag, the Spanish Mackerels showed up hungry.  We fished the range marker for a couple of hours and the bite stopped.  We picked up and ran into Biscayne Bay to see what we could find.  We got to our spot and started chumming with frozen chum and pilchards.  We got a couple of hits but nothing worth while.  Out of nowhere we got hit by a nasty storm the wind picked up to around 30 knots with heavy rain.  At that time the guys decided to call it a day. Even though we got soaked wet we had a fun day talking about life and family.  

The final tally was 9 Spanish Mackerels from 5 to 7 pounds.

Fishing will continue to improve; this is one of my favorite times of year to fish the late afternoon and evenings for big kingfish, dolphin (mahi mahi) and black fin tunas.
