Here are some shots from today that point to some outstanding conditions if you are able to get out!
In particular, the 2 cool water pockets shown on the sea temp shot are very notable, as this time of year the fish are looking for cooler water. These cool water pockets are located near the east Breaks and Colt 45.
Also, the temp breaks along the edges of the pockets are very defined and probably indicate the position of established weedlines (if there is any weed out there). Weeds or not, these are excellent structures to congregate bait. The temp range shown of 82 to 86 is prime for targeting billfish, dorado, and wahoo.
The altimetry is also very conducive to providing nutrient-rich waters in the areas of these cool water pockets as both are situated in a nice upwelling cyclone in the range of +_ -10 centimeters.
Lastly, the chlorophyll shot indicates a nice color change present on both locations along the edges.
So, when you have these 3 conditions combining in the same area with structure as we do now, it's GO! GO! GO!
All the best,
Capt. Thomas J. Hilton

Seafood Chowder
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (32 to 36 per pound), peeled and deveined (save shells for stock)
- 1/2 pound scallops
- 1/2 pound monkfish
- 1/2 pound fresh lump crabmeat, picked over to remove shells
- 1/4 pound unsalted butter
- 1 cup peeled and medium-diced carrots (4 carrots)
- 1/2 cup medium-diced yellow onion (1 onion)
- 1 cup medium-diced celery (3 stalks)
- 1 cup medium-diced small white or red potatoes
- 1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 recipe Seafood Stock (see recipe)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Cut the shrimp, scallops, and monkfish into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl with the crabmeat.
In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter; add the carrots, onions, celery, potatoes, and corn and saute over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are barely cooked, stirring occasionally. Add the flour; reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Add the Seafood Stock and bring to a boil. Add the seafood; reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 7 to 10 minutes, until the fish is just cooked. Add the heavy cream, if desired, and the parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
Seafood Stock:
- 2 tablespoons good olive oil
- Shells from 1 pound large shrimp
- 2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
- 2 carrots, unpeeled and chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup good white wine
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme, including stems
Warm the oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the shrimp shells, onions, carrots, and celery and saute for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook 2 more minutes. Add 1 1/2 quarts of water, the white wine, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour. Strain through a sieve, pressing the solids. You should have approximately 1 quart of stock. You can make up the difference with water or wine if you need to. | |
