Key West Fishing Report
The hot weather has not stopped the fish from chewing! Both inshore and offshore fishing have been productive, and most of our guests have returned to the dock and immediately enjoyed their fresh catch at our dockside restaurant, Mac’s Place.
Inshore, we have been catching plenty of healthy mangrove snapper, many upwards of 20 inches. A few late-season tarpon have also been caught. There has been no shortage of big sharks and barracudas cruising the flats for anyone who wants to go home with sore arms!
The offshore bite was a little slow at the beginning...

The offshore bite was a little slow at the beginning of the month but has improved tremendously. Mahi, wahoo, blackfin tuna, and even a few sailfish have been caught anywhere from 100 to 2,000 feet of water.
The fishing is good, the crowds are thinning out, and it is a great time to get out on the water in Key West!

Our trip yesterday was a scramble but we had two keeper muttons, a handfull of mangy's (6 or 7) and some other assorted snappers. The bugs have been keeping clients busy and it's been nice being in the water over the last month because of the heat. A few sand bar trips as well keeping us busy.

Offshore fishing has been good lately! We’ve been catching plenty of mahi-mahi, anywhere from 12 to 30 miles offshore, depending on the day.
We’re also catching a few tunas, although the sharks have been a real issue at the Hump lately, making it tough to get some of those fish to the boat.
The reef bite has been good, with plenty of yellowtail snapper, and we’ve also been seeing some good action around the wrecks.
Overall, plenty of action and lots of opportunities to put some fish in the box! 🎣🌴

Offshore mahi have been caught if you have enough time or fast back because we have been running 20+ miles to find cooler water holding quality fish. A few bonito, wahoo and blackfin tuna have been caught. Saw two marlin this past month no chewers.
Inshore has been good with quality and consistent mangrove snappers. Also having fun with lots of Jack carvelle and lemon sharks. Most of the tarpon have pushed out.
Lobster mini season was a success. No one on any of our boats cried or died, and we even managed to catch a few lobster. I hope...
