ESPN Spanish Fly TV with Captain Jose Wejebe

This is my absolute favorite fishing show on TV. Jose goes to so many killer fishing locations around the world. He also is very tasteful in the way he delivers his show to the viewers. Check out his website it is great.

Spanish Fly Theater

Tons of cool, pictures, stories and he also has SpanishFly theater on there. Spanish Fly theater has fishing tips, old jose wejebe fishing episodes, saltwater tackle boxes, vida del mar, bloopers and  much more. I give the site a 10.

Ok so my friends all know I’m obsessed with Jose Wejebe and the Spanish fly fishing show. I have been watching it for years. He has inspired my drive to fish remote locations around the world for different species. I just wish I could make a living at it like Jose does! Anyway he has added a new road less traveled on Costa’s TV.

Check it out.

Cool piece about Jose Wejebe being in Rum Cay, Bahamas.

Thank you Captain Scott for all the fishing information. Your website is fantastic. All the rigging information and tackle tips have been very helpful if nothing I just enjoy watching all the fishing videos. The video of you free gaffing the dolphin in the bahamas is the coolest thing I have ever seen!

Keep up all the good work

Fishing Information

Check out this video of a big swordfish caught in an oil rig. Amazing how they grab it with the little sub arm and try to pull it out of the oil rig. Sword in oil rig video

The video makes me want to go swordfishing soon. I’m still researching a sword trip.

Still haven’t seen any good snook reports from opening day. Hopefully this will be a good season. Posted a thread on Florida Sportsmen Forum asking for reports, my guess is the weather kept a lot of guys at home last night.

Going to try my luck at Sebastian Inlet next week depending on the weather.

The Tuna Duck looks like it has potential for our Bluefin Tuna Charter next year. Will give them a call next week and see how hard it is to get a booking during the bluefin run.

Giant bluefin tunas in their feeding frenzy, chasing bait fish, cause the desperate fish to gather into a tightly packed school in a futile attempt to save themselves. This phenomenon is known as”balling bait”.

Bluefin tuna are the ultimate catch and release heavy tackle test providing a spectacular show when striking baits. Since 1995 the TUNA DUCK has caught and released well over 500 bluefin tunas, tagging many of them to aid in research to find out more about  these spectacular giants.

WHEN: We begin fishing for bluefins in November and continue through early to mid March. We are often asked about the “best” time to come bluefin fishing. Once the fleet locates the fish early in the season, any time is a good time! We invite you to call us for further information on this truly exciting fishery! In addition to bluefins, at this time of year there are yellowfin tunas to be caught as well as king mackerel.

HOW: Because bluefins act differently every season, the techniques vary. The most standard procedure is trolling 2 to 4 lines with 80 lb. tackle until the school of fish is located. Often it is possible after a fish is hooked to stop the boat and chunk menheden to keep the school around the boat. Although this method produced tremendous numbers of fish in the middle to late 90’s , over the last few seasons the majority of the fish caught have been caught trolling. We provide 130 lb. outfits because many of the fish are over the size limit that can be kept and we feel that heavier tackle gives them a better opportunity of survival after release. However, many of our customers prefer to bring their own lighter tackle. 

SIZE: Bluefin tunas range in size from 90 to 700+ lbs.
LIMIT /SPECIAL REGULATIONS : Regulations allow us to retain 1 bluefin per boat per day if it is over 46 inches and under 73 inches. We do not emphasize this or “advertise” retaining a bluefin for two reasons. First, these regulations can change at the “drop of a hat” and second, we often do not see fish under 73 inches…often they are too large! 
( The fish in the photo above was caught a few years ago for commercial sale. When a charter is on board, a fish this large cannot be boated.)
