Reopening of Key West

Key West reopened June 1 2020 and things have been busy all Month long.  The fish got a much needed break March, April and May and they have been eager to bite.  We have had record number Tarpon catches this month.  Usually by late June the Tarpon are starting their migration out of town, but there are still good numbers of fish around.  Lots of fun fish too to stay busy in between Tarpon bites (Sharks, Snappers, Cudas, etc)

 

July is booking up fast so give us a call @ 305.587.7669 to gt out there with Capt John or Capt Justin.

New Year 2020

Fishing this year so far has been Great. (Weather Permitting). This week has been cold and windy, but looks like we are turning the corner over the next few days.  The long term forecast is looking much better.  Winter fishing can provide lots of action on light tackle. Here is just a few of the many species Key West winter time fishing can provide.

Give us a call or email and Capt John or Capt Juice (Justin) can hook you up

Christmas 2019 Key West

This month has been up and down with the weather.  We are currently, as I write this, experiencing some days of 30+MPH winds and more rain than we are used to in December.  But, we are almost out of this weather pattern.

When the weather is right the Fishing has been on fire.  Lots of variety and action.  All pictured fish were caught this month.

Starting Christmas day the weather forecast looks Great, right through until after the New Year.  So , if you’re coming down for the Holidays and looking to get out there to hook up, give Capt John a call 305.587.7669 or drop me an email here on the site.  We have just a few more openings for the Holiday week.

November 2019

The weather this Oct was unusually warm here in Key West.  This has been giving us awesome opportunities to catch fish we normally don’t target this time of year.  The Tarpon fishing remained strong and when the conditions were right we have been getting our shots at Permit.  This will change as we start getting Cold Fronts and should spark up the winter fishing.  With a live well full of Pilchards we have a blast in the channels catching Jack, snappers, Cudas, etc.  Also the Basins will kick off with the Sea Trout.  Both our Pathfinders offer great winter fishing in comfort.  Give Capt John a call 305.587.7669 or drop me an email and I’ll tell you all about the current fishing conditions.
