George Poveromo's World of Saltwater Fishing

Aboard his brand new MARC VI, a Mako 334 center console powered by triple Mercury Verado 350hp outboards, Poveromo and Captain Shannon Attales head offshore in search of dolphin, in August. Many people write off dolphin fishing throughout the Florida Keys this late in the summer, but Poveromo and Attales know that it's a very good period for bigger fish; you just have to keep moving and kwfishing

This action-packed light tackle episode finds Poveromo trailering his SHALLOW-WATER MARC, a Mako 21 LTS, to the state's west central coast. Here, he meets up with renowned guide Captain Mike Goodwine of Blackneck Adventures Fishing Charters, to sample the local fishing for snook and redfish.

Poveromo and his MARC VI, a new Mako 334 center console powered by triple Mercury Verado 350hp outboards, once again finds himself docked at Cudjoe Gardens Marina. On this trip, he and Priscila Jager Clawges head to the local reefs to catch yellowtail. Priscila, a fishing fanatic who resides part time in Big Pine Key, immediately goes to work chumming up the 'tails. However, poor current and wate

"Epic" is the best word that describes Poveromo's September trip to Prince Edward Island. This is giant tuna time, as droves of the largest bluefins migrate out of the Gulf of Mexico and into these forage-rich waters, simply to gorge on massive herring concentrations. For two months - September and October - anglers have excellent chances at catching and releasing these giants. Poveromo was the gu

The backcountry waters behind Islamorada in the fabulous Florida Keys are intriguing. One can take in the beautiful natural settings while catching anything from mangrove snapper to giant tarpon, all within relatively shallow water. Aboard his SHALLOW-WATER MARC, a Mako 21 LTS, Poveromo teams up with legendary guide Captain Ron Brack. Leaving from World Wide Sportsman, Brack leads Poveromo toward

Poveromo's first long-range run aboard his new MARC VI, a Mako 334 center console powered by triple 350hp Mercury Verado outboards, was a return to the fabled Chub Cay Resort. In mid June, Poveromo and Carl Grassi depart Miami's Haulover Inlet for the 144 mile journey to Chub Cay. These waters are legendary for their offshore fishing and Poveromo has enjoyed numerous successes here over the decad

On his second trip of the year to Cudjoe with his MARC VI, a Mako 334 center console, Poveromo and local pro Captain Andrew Tipler focus on the Gulf wrecks. Leaving Cudjoe Gardens Marina, Poveromo and Tipler make their way into the Gulf through Kemp Channel, and to a wreck Tipler knew was holding fish. After taking in the current and wind direction, the MARC VI was anchored precisely and baits dis

A mere 50 mile run from Miami's Haulover Inlet, Bimini is an angler's paradise. You name it and chances are it swims within these waters, be it on the backcountry shallows, reefs, wrecks or offshore. Poveromo's hardest decision when it comes to Bimini is usually what to fish for. This past July, Poveromo took Kari Pallotto aboard the MARC VI and to the Bimini Big Game Club Resort with the goal o

December in Marathon is an explosive time for fishing. Sailfish are pushing ballyhoo on the patches, king mackerel are solidly migrating through the Florida Keys and numerous species compete for habitat and food along the local reefs and wrecks. In this episode, Poveromo and Captain Jason Long take advantage of some cool water opportunities off Marathon. With the MARC VI docked at the Hyatt Place

Poveromo returns to Grand Cayman Island once again for their incredible winter wahoo fishery. On his previous trip, and fishing with Captains Chris Briggs and Charles Ebanks, he and Carey Chen caught fifteen wahoo, four yellowfin tuna and released a blue marlin in just two hours of fishing. This time, he was hoping to show friend Albert Castro just how good the bite is off the Caymans. Charles Eb

Some of the easiest and most enjoyable fishing throughout the Florida Keys is on the patch reefs. With the MARC VI's live wells loaded with pilchards and ballyhoo, Poveromo and Captain Kevin Jeffries find themselves probing the patches off Key Largo. Situated inside of the deeper reefs, in depths between 15 and 40 feet of water, these patches often hold impressive quantities of bait; they also s

When fishing off Key West, Poveromo ranks the Marquesas as his favorite area. Having fished the rock piles and hard bottoms to the north and also to the west of the Marquesas atoll since childhood, it's the fast-paced bottom action that still thrills Poveromo enough to keep coming back. On this excursion, Poveromo and long-time pal Captain Mark Schmidt head for these rocks aboard Poveromo's Mako 3
