Well the Tarpon are in and it has been non-stop catching! Night trips are the way to go though if you truly want to catch a tarpon. They feed more frequently during the night near the bridges. We spend our time drifting back and forth through the piling and WHAM we got one, two, three sometimes up to 10 a…

Once again we had windy conditions here in Key West. The water temp outside the reef is about 77 and a little warmer inside the reef. The current was moving pretty good to the east and there was a slight color change stacking up bait and fish. 

Offshore the Dolphin bite was OK. It was not as good as the previous…

This past week’s weather has been like a rollercoaster, windy days followed by warm calm conditions, and then the cool wind again. Such inconsistent conditions seem to be frustrating our tarpon as well as our flat’s guides. I have yet to see any epic spring tarpon fishing like I have during this time in past years. I think this year’s…

It was a busy week here in the Lower Keys. We had the World Sailfish Tournament going on out of Key West. This tournament brings down the best sailfish anglers from all over to compete for big cash. As usual the tournament was a huge success and went smoothly. Congratulations to the Get Lit team who caught 22 fish in…

. . . Brent (Major) and his dad Don had a great day catching lots of Groupers, there limit of Yellowtail Snappers, This Big King fish was the largest fish Brent has ever caught.

This was a calm day so we traveled out to the Marquesa Island area. About 40 miles west of Key West. Our first stop was very hot.…

Bob Wilmouth and friends came to Key West in search of the elusive Sailfish.  Unfortunately, they chose the same week as the World Sailfish Tournament so getting bait could have been a big problem (live bait goes for upward of $1,500 a day) but fortunately for us, we had Capt. Steve catching bait for us!

After throwing a variety of live…

Tarpon are Rolling! Bonefish are schooling!! Permit are Tailing!!!

Tarpon have been roaming the flats as of late in small pods on the Atlantic side and in some areas of the sandy Gulf side flats. That action should really heat up during the next several weeks as the waters warm into the 80’s. We recently helped to conduct the Bonefish Census…

Dolphin are showing up in good numbers. They are from the reef edge out to 20 miles. Small blackfin tuna are on the offshore hump. Sailfish are still around.

Big yellowtail snapper are beginning to show up in good numbers as the spawn kicks in. It will only get better..

Tarpon are showing up in good numbers in the ocean side channels.…

Ed Anderson of Coldwell Bankers joined us aboard the Sea Bootswith his daughter Cynthia and two grand sons Sasha and Noe visiting from Genneva Switzerland. Sasha is 10 and Noe is 7 years old they landed six dolphin from 18 to 6 pounds on a half day of fishing. Cynthia and her two sons live in a small town of…

What a great week for the flats, permit are everywhere, tarpon are laying up, and bonefish are feeding hard. While we have had inconsistent wind speeds, the fish have yet to skip a beat. Despite the few gusty days we received the water remained gin clear in the areas that mattered, seeing that lets you know everything is working as…
