May 1 grouper season opened in Florida. We have some great spots to catch all of our grouper species, additionally Blue Line tile fish opened, so deep dropping is something we do while we are offshore looking for mahi and tuna.

Offshore Mahi Fishing is picking up here in Key West. When we offshore fish for Mahi or tunas we also typically hit deep drop spots to pick up bottom species like Vermilion or Yellow Eye snappers, Snowy Groupers and Tile fish

Spring is here and the fish are arriving in force! One of the many fun types of fishing available in the Keys is the evening tuna bite. Though tuna can be found throughout the day, the closest thing to a wide-open frenzy occurs just as the sun goes down. We troll small baits, extra fast and far back. Multiple simultaneous hookups are very common. It’s fast, furious and doesn’t last long, but the great-tasting, hard-fighting blackfin tuna are a blast on light tackle! Most of the captains don’t market evening trips, but can consider adjusting times upon request. Regardless of...

The migration of the larger pelagic fish are coming threw the Florida Keys on there way to the Gulf of Mexico. It is a site that only happens a few times a year. Sailfish, marlin, blue fin tuna, cobia, mahi-mahi, black fin tuna, ect. One of the best time of the year for us. It’s all site fishing with live bait. The numbers can be staggering. We caught and released 28 sail fish a few days ago. Only in 100' of water or less. Only 5 miles offshore. Exciting time in the keys. Come on down and go fishing.

    Trip: Private Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We had an amazing time iguana hunting! There were thunderstorms in the distance when we arrived, and I honestly thought the trip would be canceled—but our guides, Wesley and Matt, knew exactly what they were doing. We never got a single drop of rain and they spotted way more iguanas than we ever would have on our own. The only thing I’d do differently is bring my own flashlight. They had plenty to share, but not enough for everyone to have one at the same time. Highly recommend this adventure!
