Stuart, Florida Sailfish Season

It's been a great season for Sailfish here in Stuart, Florida, however its winding down, with just a few sailfish bites on a daily charter. For a couple of weeks the cobia were here, but now you really have to look for them. Still some good dolphin fishing and plenty of fish offshore for a charter.

Since the Miami Boat Show we have been real busy. With the upcoming marlin season, we have taken a serious look for where we can give our marlin charter clients the best chances for a blue or white marlin. Chance has caught a few whites already while fishing the Abacos in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas, for a few of our friends. The Reel Candy will be fishing a tournament later this month in Walkers Cay, although we will be staying at Rosies in Grand. If you would like to fish the end of March, in the Bahamas, give us a call.

The Reel Candy crew will be in the Abacos, in April and May. The end of May we are heading to Cat Island for a couple of weeks and then fishing our way to St Thomas. We still have Charter days available for this trip. We will be in St Thomas at the Sapphire Resort and Marina for the July and August moons. Please contact us for charter dates.

Looking forward to fishing with you this season!

Sailfish Weekend

The wind blew, and blew some more. However this is Sailfishing in Stuart, Florida, this time of the year. This was the roughest water we have fished this year. The sailfsih bite has slowed some but the bait is still here, so the sails must still be close by. We were able to connect for first time sailfish  for Jack and Cindy, from Missouri and again yesterday for Scott and Renee our friends from the Bahamas, who now live in North Carolina. Candy even caught a nice sail yesterday and got completely soaked on the backdown. Now we are off this week to the Miami Boat Show. We are there with Stingray Tackle and Outfitters and Marlin University. Stop by and see us! The Reel Candy will be back getting lines wet The 17th.

Stuart Sailfishing Today!

Eric (Reel Candy crew) and Christopher Gerzeny, Caught 6 sails out of 10 bites once the fog lifted this morning and we were able to leave the dock on the Reel Candy. This is some of the best sailfishing we have experienced in Stuart for a few years. Good news is there are still large numbers of sails being caught north of us. If your interested in booking a charter, send us and email or feel free to give us a call. We are now docked at the famous Finest Kind Marina, just 10 minutes from the St Lucie Inlet, in Stuart Florida.

Happy New Year!

Candy's brother, Larry Chapman, never caught a billfish before. December 30th was his day! A white marlin and 2 Stuart, Florida sailfish. Everyone else on the Reel Candy was probably 0 for 20 on sails. The next day we had the guys from Stingray Tackle in Jupiter, Florida for a half day and went 3 for 3 on sails.Congrats to VJ on the Challenge, Neil on the Outlaw, and Glen on the Floridian, All had double digit sails. Dave on the Patsy hooked a triple and released all 3. Scott on the Boneshaker had an awesome couple of days too.

For those who visited us and fished with us in the Bahamas we'd like to say THANK YOU for making the 2009 season the most memorable yet! Wishing you a safe and wonderful Holiday season! We hope to see you in Stuart and the Bahamas! Marvin, Candy & Eric Reel Candy Sportfishing www.reelcandyfishing.com From Chef Frank HOLIDAY RECEIPE Traditionally people eat either ham or turkey, but in the Bahamas we try to think outside the box. Here is a little recipe which is very easy to make. I call it Coconut Rum marinated chicken. Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts or thighs, bone in 1 1/2 cups of Nassau Royal coconut rum 3/4 cup of pineapple juice 1/4 cup of soy sauce (low sodium is best) Method: Mix all the liquid to gether and whisk very well. Place the chicken in a tupperware container and pour the mixture over the chicken and cover with a tight fitting lid. Let the chicken marinate in the refigerator for at least 4 hours and be sure to flip it over half way through. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the chicken on a flat pan or cookie sheet. TIP: Cover the pan with aluminum foil because the marinade will caramilize while cooking and it will be very difficult to clean.     Depending on the size of the chicken it should be done in 30 to 45 minutes, or until the juices run clear.This can be served with anything you like. I prefer to serve it with some red roasted potatoes tossed in garlic, oil, and fresh Rosemary along side some cole slaw mixed with pineapple chunks and craisins! I hope you enjoy this recipe and until we see you again in the Bahamas, Tight Lines Everyone!!
