Crocodile Bay Fish Report, April 2026

Highflying Sailfish Delight Guests in March at Crocodile Bay

 

Both inshore and offshore were exceptional this past month, but the Sailfish stole the show

 

 

March was one for the books!

 

We saw an electrifying month on the water, highlighted by a sailfish season unlike any we’ve experienced in recent years. Numbers remained consistently high throughout the month, with multiple record days and nonstop action that gave anglers more opportunities than usual to hook and fight that dream fish.

 

From early morning bites to late-afternoon flurries behind the spread, sailfish dominated and kept rods bent day after day.

 

 

 

 

Blue marlin added another level of excitement. These fish showed up impressively, aggressively attacking teasers and delivering the kind of strikes that make offshore fishing unforgettable.

 

Paired with the sailfish bite, it made for a billfish program that produced action on nearly every trip.

 

 

Inshore, the story was just as strong. We consistently put anglers on trophy roosterfish with explosive surface takes, along with adult cubera snappers that tested both tackle and technique. It’s a great reminder of the diversity and quality of the fishery we have here.

 

 

 

Conditions played a major role in the month’s success. Calm seas and stable weather allowed us to stay in productive areas and maximize key bite windows, making for comfortable runs and efficient fishing.

 

 

A big credit goes to our captains and crews, whose experience, timing, and effort continue to make the difference on the water every day.

 

Looking ahead, this level of action typically carries well into the spring. If you missed March, there’s still plenty of opportunity to experience this action!

 

We hope to see you on the water soon.
