End of June We’re wrapping up June with great weather and fantastic reef fishing. My clients lately have wanted to target snapper/grouper and it has been good. On the reef the snappers continue to be hungry, and inshore the groupers have been keeping clients happy. The reef spawn is starting for the grey and

Back from Vacation We are back from our vacation to St. Augustine! We had a great time playing, swimming, and building sandcastles. Now back to the Key West heat! It’s been stormy in south florida the past few days. Key West has had steady storms but it does break up the heat. Fishing Offshore and inshore seems to

Fishing is Getting Better! There are finally some nice sized dolphin being caught offshore. Ive seen some fish pushing 40lbs coming in the last few days, and there are still a few sailfish and tuna around. Inshore the tarpon are starting to feed well, and I’ve heard of a few double digit hookup days. Grouper fishing saved m

Grouper season starts tomorrow! Grouper season is here! Call to reserve a spot this week. We have a few windy days ahead, but then it should be calm. Fishing overall has been good. The reef is still productive for snapper, there have been some tunas and sailfish around, and dolphin have started showing up also. Inshore the t

April showers It’s already April? This year is flying by. We had some bad weather in Key West this week, which is rare, but managed to make it out Monday for some Sharks in the 25+mph winds. We caught a nice mutton snapper and a few yellowtails for dinner also. The lemon sharks were hungry! Out on the reef t

End of March I had a few great trips this week with the Hanhela family. We went offshore the first day and caught dolphin in the morning, then finished up on the reef with some huge yellowtail snapper. The next day we live baited for sails , but didn’t have a bite. We went back to the reef and got some big mu

March 3 Lately there have been a few dolphin showing up offshore with the calmer south winds and we still have blackfin tunas around also. I got a few more trips on the blackfins before the winds started to blow last week. We fished the gulf for about 5 trips straight and did great on big kingfish up to 5

Mid February Report It has been mostly tunas for me offshore, but other boats have also done well with wahoos and dolphin. I haven’t been offshore the last few trips as the winds and seas have been substantial. Hawk channel has provided steady action with snappers, groupers and sharks. Hopefully the winds will subsi

February 2 There have been some large tunas around lately on my longer trips. Blackfin tunas range between 5-40 pounds and put up a great fight on light tackle. We target them with live baits on 20lb gear. It has been a blast! If you’re looking to get out on the water, I can be reached at 305-923-6977. Th

Happy New Year! Happy New Years to everyone and thanks for a great holiday week! We caught a few tunas and wahoos offshore christmas week, and fished the gulf for snappers after the new year. There have been some dolphin and a few sailfish as well offshore. Yesterday we had lunch at Ballast key and delivered t

Wahoo fishing There have been a few wahoos offshore lately in Key West. These delicious fish are a unique challenge for anglers. With double hinged jaws and super speedy runs, they are hard to keep on the line. Lately I’ve had luck live baiting them with large speedos and bonitas. If you want to get out and

Happy Thanksgiving! It’s been a busy few weeks in Key West with fishing and the holidays. We also had our first real cold front this week. Fishing has been decent offshore with a few tunas, wahoos and sailfish around, but slower the last few days with the front. I did some patch reef fishing with the guys from Levit
