It is Tarpon Season Here In The Keys!!!!

My very favorite time of year. Schools of tarpon have begun migrating up and down the ocean side flats and channel edges. They can also still be found in some of the back country basins. For some reason they seam more eager to eat the fly this year! But it is probably the…

Constant action all day long on the Sea Horse at Whale Harbor Marina. Big Dolphin, and nice size gaffing size Dolphin. Dolphin are moving through in various depths of water. We are catching them on trolling lures, skipping Ballyhoo, and chunk bait. We work diligently to find the Dolphin so you can enjoy catching them.

The offshore fishing has been good. The other day we caught dolphin in 150 feet of water. The fish were under birds; some birds were on dolphin others on bonito. Permit have moved on to some of the deep wrecks.

Yellowtail snapper are showing up in good numbers as the spawn kicks in. When condition are right; catching your limit is…

The Foster family from Connecticut returned once again during their annual spring break in the Keys to fish with Capt. Chris Johnson and SeaSquared Charters out of 7 Mile Marina.

Chantel is a gourmet cook, so they made the choice to fish for one of their favorites, mangrove snapper. Into the bay they went where they succeeded with a limit of…

If you have been keeping up, you know that for several years now, almost ten to be exact, we have been working on getting an artificial reef sunk here in Key West.  Well, not actually in Key West, but in the waters off of Key West to add to our collection of wrecks and reefs that attract fish and secondarily…

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…

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.…
