Fall Fishing Begins

The weather is changing a bit, Hurricane season is coming to an end here. Fingers crossed we make through one more month with very little activity to South Florida. We are still catching the resident Tarpon in the early morning hours (picture are a few of the fish we caught this week)
With the change in the weather brings in the Bait, Pilchards are the bait of choice this time of year. And we have been having a ball using them to catch Barracudas, Jacks, Snapperand a whole bunch more.
Give us a Shout anytime and we’ll get you hooked up

Beat the Heat out on the Water

Walking around town can get HOT in August. A great way to cool off is out on the water, it’s always COOLER out there!!!! Theres been some good fishing early in the morning, by midday, things get a little tougher. Thats when its a great time to hit on of our Out Island SandBars and cool off in the Crystal Clear Water.
We offer it all so give Capt John a call 305.587.7669 to get out there.

Tarpon!!!! And Relaxing SandBar Trips

It is looking like it is that time of year, what I mean is TARPON SEASON. We all wait for this Migration every year and it is starting. We are seeing and catching fish in the usual spots. So get on the calender, because it is booking up FAST.
And don’t forget our SandBar Trips are running regularly, aboard the LilyPad. Also, it is the time of year that the water and weather warm up and what a great way to get out on the water around Key West to really see what the Florida Keys are all about.

February 2024

The Winter Species are here with the cooler water temps.
The Pelicans have been bombing on bait along the shorelines and these baits are like candy to just about any fish that swims.
Barracudas on the flats are on of my favorite fish to target. Explosive hits and lightening runs make for a great light tackle fight.
Snappers have been gathering on the rock piles and patch reefs providing us with lots of action.
And We’ve still been catching a few Tarpon on the warmer days.
Give us a call 305.587.7669 to get out there for some Key West Fishing

Heres just a sample of the fish we have caught over the last few trips.

Change in the Weather

We are moving into our “cooler” months and that is going to bring some different species. While there are still some Tarpon to fish for (on the warmer days), we are mixing it up with some different types of fishing. This is the time of year that variety is key. We are going to target snappers, sharks, barracudas, jacks, sea trout, etc. So give us a call 305.587.7669, drop us an email or book directly here on the site and we’ll get you out away from the crowds of Duval St for a few hours.
