Sailfish
Hollywood, Florida, offers a shot at some exciting Sailfish action. These billfish are known for their speed and spectacular displays. The winter months, from November to February, are typically the peak season for Sailfish off the coast. Focus your efforts in the Gulf Stream, particularly around temperature breaks and areas with concentrations of baitfish. Trolling dead ballyhoo or using live bait is a common and effective tactic. A local tip is to look for birds diving, as this often indicates the presence of baitfish and, potentially, Sailfish. Chartering a boat with an experienced captain is highly recommended, as they will have the knowledge and equipment necessary to locate and target these elusive fish. Be prepared for a challenging fight and a potential acrobatic display.
