Offshore Fishing Report for May 31st

Once again we made it out to on our bi-weekly fishing trip out of Jupiter inlet. We started out in about 130 feet deep, right on the drop. Right away we where hit by the Bonita special with huge sharks following close behind. While the Bonita are annoying enough on their own getting hit by sharks while trying to reel them in makes for a much more annoying situation. We tried to escape them by running in to about 80 feet deep in hopes of finding Kingfish with no luck. So we headed back out to the drop and just dealt with the annoyance for another 20 minutes or so before we hit into the Kingfish. Any boy oh boy did we hit in to them. We limited out (2 per fishing license) pretty quickly with 1 fish in the 25 pound range.

Here is Peter Deiser holding the 25 lb. Kingfish he caught:


After we caught our 8 kingfish we decided to try trolling around a little with no sucess before heading back in for the day.

That night I made an excellent kingfish dish for dinner. Here is the recipe:

Teriyaki Ginger Kingfish Kabobs

Servings: 4

what you need:

4 kingfish fillets skin removed
peeled pearl onions
cherry tomatoes
baby portobella mushrooms
chopped green onion
chopped garlic
ginger dressing
teriyaki sauce
bamboo skewers

directions:
In a medium sized dish mix ginger dressing, teriyaki sauce, chopped garlic and chopped green onions to make marinade,

cut kingfish fillets into cube shapped pieces and skewer the alternating with pearl onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. Make 8 skewers. Add these to the marinade.

Preheat grill to high once very hot spray down with pan spray and make sure grill is very clean or fish will stick.

Place skewers on grill for 3 minutes on each side until cooked. If your grill is very hot and clean fish will not stick and you should get nice color on kingfish and veggies.

I served this over a salad as my fiance' is diabetic and cannot eat rice but it would go great with some fried rice or plain white or brown rice. Enjoy....
