Miami-based charter fishing captain extraordinaire Ray Rosher -- a Guy Harvey Outpost Outfitter--didn't reach the top of the industry by following the leads of others. Rosher-- whose teams have won top honors in just about every billfish tournament circuit from South Florida to the Bahamas, to the Caribbean and beyond--is an innovator who's not afraid to try something unorthodox to reign atop the fleet.
"Don't be afraid to try new techniques," he advised. "I've had more success doing things a little unconventional."
With sailfish season hitting its stride along the Florida east coast and Keys, captains and anglers might want to consider changing things up from their usual practices.
For example, Rosher says, many fishermen believe that the only consistent method of catching and releasing sailfish between Miami and Jupiter is to drift waters with a drastic color change-- usually 80 to 200 feet deep-- using live bait on kites-- typically goggle eyes (big-eye scad); threadfin herring; or sardines.
But Rosher said winning tournaments in the Pacific waters of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico taught him a thing or two about the effectiveness of dead-baiting.
Trolling a dead bally hoo on a spinning outfit behind a Mylar dredge, Rosher has enjoyed days of multiple hook-ups amid a fleet of live-baiters off Miami.
"That stuff about 'they won't eat dead bait when there's live bait around' is baloney," he said. "Don't get pigeonholed thinking you have to catch sailfish in Miami on a live bait."
Referring to his dredge/dead bait set-up, Rosher said, "I don't care what [sailfish] think it is when they're five feet away. It's too late; he's got a bait swimming by him and he eats it."
The captain points out that live baiting for sailfish generally works well between Jupiter and Miami because of steeper, narrower bottom contours that funnel the fish through predictable corridors as they feed into the northbound Gulf Stream current. In the Stuart-Fort Pierce area, he said, trolling dead baits is preferable because the gradually-sloping bottom necessitates covering lots of ground to locate fish.
In the Keys where waters tend to be clearer and calmer and currents less consistent, fishermen look for showers of bally hoo being harassed by sailfish near shallow reefs such as Conch Reef and American Shoal.
"Fish that might be out in 100 feet of water come into the reef to feed," Rosher said.
The 2015-16 sailfish season has been a roller coaster ride so far, ranging from days where it's difficult to get a bite to double-digit releases. The onset of cold fronts to the north usually propels pods of sailfish south.
And if this year is anything like past sailfish seasons, Rosher predicts a consistent push of fish into South Florida and the Keys well into May.

![](mailto:?subject=GREEN Turtle Bahamas Billfish Championship Is RED HOT with WHITE Marlin!&body=The <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/green-turtle-cay-abacos/">Green Turtle Club </a> Co-Hosted the action packed second leg of the 2015 <a href="http://www.bahamasbillfish.com/">Bahamas Billfish Championship</a>.
BBC Day One: White marlin dominated day one action. Something Fishy got off to a hot start with a double header of whites. Island Time got on the board with a sailfish. Game Changer, Marlin Raptor & Whisky Won all got in on the morning bite with white marlin. Wave Paver & Anticipation jumped to the top with afternoon blue marlin.
<a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/green-turtle-cay-abacos/"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-2764 size-medium" title="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/green-turtle-cay-abacos/" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/green-turtle-cay-abaco-logo-option-3.jpg?w=300" alt="Green Turtle Cay Abaco logo option 3" width="300" height="264" /></a>
BBC Day Two: The white marlin bite remained hot with the blues showing up in the afternoon. Sandrita jumped to the lead today on the strength of on blue marlin and three white marlin today. Torta started their day with a sailfish added a double header of white marlin and nabbed a blue marlin late in the day to catch a slam; which will give them a nice bunch of bonus points and the overall lead after two days.
Early leaders Something Fishy improved their numbers with another white marlin to go with their day one pair. Anticipation added second day blue marlin to their first day fish to stay in contention for the top spot. Whisky Won released a blue and a white to go with their day one white to move into third place after two days. Nothing is settled and with the way some boats have gotten hot hands it is still anyone’s ball game.
BBC Day Three
The white marlin bite continues to build; 8 whites day one, 9 day two, with 11 on day three for a total of 28 whites! Seventeen billfish caught on day three including three sailfish, three blue marlin and 11 whites. This is more whites than were caught in all of 2014. Hopefully this is a sign of a rebounding white marlin population.
Wave Paver started things off at the six minute mark on day three releasing a blue. Ten minutes later Game Changer released a pair of whites announcing that the bite was on. Hit n Run followed with a white marlin and sailfish released. Something Fishy then released the first of their two white marlin for the day before Hit n Run released the third of their four whites all before noon. Wave Paver would add a white, while Hit n Run would get their "Slam" with a blue marlin late in the day. Pandemonium finished the day and the tournament hooked up to a blue marlin at lines out. All ears stay tuned to the radio when a boat is still hooked up at lines out. It only took Pandemonium another 17 minutes to release their fish.
Grand Slam points were key as Hit n Run won with Torta in Second Place on the strength of their Grand Slam bonus points. Wave Paver was third followed by Anticipation. It is great to see FIVE Lady Anglers on the board for the event.
Congratulations to the winners and all the anglers!
The next <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/">Guy Harvey Outpost</a> event will be the <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/bonfire-beach-bash/">2nd Annual Beach Bash Bonfire and Tournament </a>at <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/west-end-grand-bahama/old-bahama-bay-resort/">Old Bahama Bay </a>June 25-28th.

![](mailto:?subject=The Bahamas Tournament Season Is Jumping!&body=The 2015 <a href="http://www.bahamasbillfish.com/">Bahamas Billfish Championship</a> is under way in Abaco with <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/green-turtle-cay-abacos/">Green Turtle Cay </a>the next stop. Abaco regulars Jichi, Wave Paver and Torta took the top spots with solid performances. Teque took the early lead on day one with a blue marlin and a sailfish but Wave Paver passed them by before lines out; when they added a blue marlin to their early white. On day two, Torta added a blue and a white to move ahead of Wave Paver and Teque. Jichi got on the board early with two blue marlin and did not look back; adding a white and another blue to seal the deal on day two. Day three saw plenty of action among the leaders as Wave Paver released two blue marlin and a white to make a move but Jichi "Slammed" the door shut with a sail, a white and a blue to extend their lead and collect slam bonus points.
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/bbc_aim_logo-no-dates.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2727" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/bbc_aim_logo-no-dates.jpg" alt="BBC_AIM_Logo NO DATES" width="660" height="660" /></a>The fleet caught 26 billfish an average of 1.13 billfish per boat. Full Time brought a 597 pound blue marlin to the scales. She was over the 100 inch minimum length but they actually lost 3 points compared to what they would have scored had they released her.
This week the BBC moves to Green Turtle Cay. <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/green-turtle-cay-abacos/">The Green Turtle Club</a>, a <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/">Guy Harvey Outpost </a>Expedition Lodge is co-host for the event. The Green Turtle Club is ideally located in central Abaco allowing easy access to all the region’s famed blue marlin grounds. These waters have produced huge blue marlin including the current Bahamian Record of 1119 pounds caught during the BBC in 2011. The Green Turtle Club is sold out for this event.

In addition to all the billfish caught big dorado kept anglers on their toes. They were caught AND eaten! Next up the BBC heads to Treasure Cay May 27-30. The next Guy Harvey Outpost event will be the <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/bonfire-beach-bash/">2nd Annual Beach Bash Bonfire and Tournament </a>June 25th - 28th at<a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/west-end-grand-bahama/old-bahama-bay-resort/"> Old Bahama Bay</a>.

Black, who has spent the last 40 years as a charter captain and operated a premier charter service out of Walker’s Cay from 1977 to 2004, has held, at one time or another, many of the Bahamian record catches for Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Dolphin, Wahoo and Sailfish. <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/adventures/fishing/offshore/captain-billy-black.html">The Duchess</a>, his 50-foot Hatteras has just come out of the yard, having been fully updated and re-powered to offer exceptional comfort and safety.
“There’s 110 miles of water between Walkers and Bimini, and Old Bahama Bay is almost dead center”, commented Mark Ellert, President of Guy Harvey Outpost. “Few know these fishing grounds as well as Billy and The Duchess, and we intend to make the Outpost at Old Bahama Bay the go-to fishing destination in the northern Bahamas.” Sixty miles east of Palm Beach, Old Bahama Bay has 70 luxury guestrooms, a 70 slip deep water marina with fuel and on-site customs, and a full array of resort amenities.
“I’ve been ‘Dancing with the Duchess’ for forty years”, said Captain Black. “These waters are our stage, and we know every square inch of it. Customers of Old Bahama Bay now have an exceptional opportunity to join us on stage and catch all the action first hand.”

The Ms B Haven, mother-ship & fleet are based in Panama City, Panama and available for charter in both the Caribbean and Pacific. “Panama is an adventure travel paradise and a destination without equal for world class sportfishing and island hopping," commented Guy Harvey Outpost President, Mark Ellert announcing the new partnership. “Instead of settling for a single location, this Outpost offers the best of all worlds - a fleet of rooms that can move around this amazing country. Whether it’s offshore big-game fishing in the Pacific, backcountry fishing along the Caribbean coast, exploring the Canal Zone, or discovering the remote and beautiful Pearl and San Blas Islands, there’s literally something of interest for everyone and PYFC Outpost can take you there.”

Fishing from a mother-ship allows you the freedom to fish legendary places like Pinas Bay and Hanibal Bank or explore the idyllic San Blas archipelago. The PYFC Outpost fleet includes a 98’ tri-deck motor yacht, two sportfishing boats – a 66’ Buddy Davis and 37’ Strike – and a flats skiff. The mother-ship carries a complement of water-toys, jet skis and a complete dive center.

Owned by a Florida based fishing enthusiast, the <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/beyond/panama-yacht-and-fishing-charter.html">Panama Yacht & Fishing Charters Outpost </a>is operated by South Africa native Hennie Marais, considered one of Panamas’ most respected sportfishing outfitters and lodge operators. “We have assembled a group of captains and crew to rival any tournament caliber sportfishing team you’ll find stateside”, notes Marais. “The Buddy Davis and Strike are equipped with all the best big-game tackle, and the mother-ship is our luxury lodge that is never far out of range when it’s time for lines-out.”
Panama native and seasoned sportfishing Captain Yasser “Jacko” Torres runs the Buddy Davis. Adds Marais, “experience and communication in the cockpit are essential to consistently catching big fish and having fun and PYFC Outpost has that covered. Jacko and his crew have all the requisite tournament credentials and are fluent in English, French and Russian, as well as Spanish, so anglers from all over the world will certainly enjoy their time with us.”
In commenting on the newest Expedition Collection property, Outpost co-founder and <a href="http://www.igfa.org/">IGFA</a> trustee Bill Shedd compared the new PYFC Outpost to long-range fishing operations common to southern California, where his company <a href="http://www.aftco.com/">AFTCO</a> is based. “While I’ve enjoyed many long range fishing trips, and you can always move around to find fish, they seldom have the space, amenities and comfort to bring along the family or business associates. Our new PYFC Outpost eliminates that problem, without question. Fish or fun, dive or sun. You decide, but its top-of-class”.
The PYFC Outpost fleet accommodates up to twelve guests and is available for three and six day charters, with customized float plans based on cruising or fishing preferences.

The winners are Felipe Carvalho and Sarah Stephens, <a title="UF web site" href="http://www.ufl.edu/" target="_blank">University of Florida</a>; M. Laura Habegger, <a title="USF web site" href="http://www.usf.edu/" target="_blank">University of South Florida</a>; Sean Bignami, <a title="UM web site" href="http://www.miami.edu/" target="_blank">University of Miami</a>; and Kier Smith, <a title="FAU web site" href="http://www.fau.edu/" target="_blank">Florida Atlantic University</a>.
The scholarship, established in 2010 through a partnership between <a title="FSG web site" href="http://flseagrant.org/" target="_blank">Florida Sea Grant</a> and the <a title="GHOF" href="http://www.guyharveyoceanfoundation.org" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation</a>, recognizes students at Florida universities whose research focuses on novel strategies for improving sustainable management of large marine fish and sharks.
“Originally, the Guy Harvey Foundation had planned on providing two scholarships,” says Florida Sea Grant director <a title="Bio for Karl Havens " href="http://flseagrant.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=56:management&id=132:karl-havens&Itemid=68" target="_blank">Karl Havens</a>. “However, when they saw the high quality of applicants, the foundation was tremendously generous in deciding to support the research of five students.
“Clearly the innovative work proposed by these students will have major impacts in regard to meeting the objective of the award.”
Since the award was established three years ago, $24,000 in scholarships has been given to six students at Florida universities. Recipients also receive a certificate designed and signed by well-known marine wildlife artist and conservationist <a title="Guy Harvey Inc. web site" href="http://www.guyharvey.com" target="_blank">Guy Harvey</a>.
Synopsis of the Winning Applications

Carvalho is conducting research related to the management of blue shark populations in the Atlantic Ocean. His research is about supporting the training of scientists and technicians to use remote sensing methods to track movement of these large predators.
Stephens is working with fishing guides in three Caribbean regions to teach them how to use dart tags to track the movements of permit, working in cooperation with the <a title="BTT web site" href="http://www.tarbone.org/" target="_blank">Bonefish Tarpon Trust</a>.
Habegger is studying how the principles of physics and engineering can be used to understand the role of the bill when billfishes feed, in hopes of discovering practical management strategies, such as specialized fishing gear that reduces by-catch in commercial fisheries, or reduces stress on billfish caught in recreational tournaments.
Bignami is studying how the changing chemistry of marine waters as a result of ocean acidification might affect the early development of large marine fish, using mahi mahi and cobia as case studies.
Smith is developing and testing a method for treating fishing hooks with a graphite and zinc mixture which in preliminary tests appears to be effective in keeping sharks from biting the hooks. The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of sharks caught in long-line commercial fisheries.
The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation is an organization of philanthropists, conservationists, scientists and educators that emphasizes sensible strategies for promoting ocean conservation and the development of the next generation of marine scientists. The foundation funds research and educational programs developed by universities, colleges, institutes and nonprofit organizations.
