They are very cool fish, when they are juvenile they have these very long plumes that light up in the water, they have to be 24 inches to the fork to harvest, I’ve got good spots for them if charters want to go for one

Fishing has been getting hot in Key West. Lots of big cobia moving in with the fronts, and some inshore snook and tarpon have been getting thick. Snapper, jacks, cuda, and sand sharks are also chewing very good. On the calm days, we have an opportunity at sailfish, tuna, and Wahoo plus the mutton snapper bite in the deep has been excellent.

ood stuff happening down here in Key West. We are between seasons here. On the warmer days we catch Sailfish, blackfin tuna and Mahi Mahi. On the cooler days it’s mackerel , kingfish, sailfish and Wahoo. As you can see when the weather is in between like it was today, we have a chance of catching all of it. Let’s go dry a few off

A great day aboard. The little migratory fish are here on the reef in Marathon Fl. The fish are little guys but a lot of fun. At one time we had over 12 fish behind the boat, an incredible sight. They are up on the reef in 20 to 30' of water pushing bait- mostly ballyhoo. To see this happen is amazing even to me doing it for 40 years. What a great time for my customers and crew. Also the bottom bite is off the scale. Yellow tail snapper, mutton snapper, king fish, and many other species. Time to...

Don't forget the sailfish are all catch and release but as much dinner as you want otherwise!

    Sean was a guide who puts anglers safety at the forefront of everything which all anglers should appreciate. Unfortunately one of our two days was blown out due to weather. He persevered trying to put us on fish until the weather became too unstable. He has 30+ years of guiding experience in the area. Enjoyed our time with Sean.

    Trip: Keys Flats And Back Country Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Our trip with Aaron was enjoyable even with the choppy waters. Aaron’s boat was extremely clean and we felt safe aboard. He had radar/fish finder there to help pick a spot and dropped in some bait to entice the fish. He helped bait hooks for us which was very appreciated even by our more experienced angler. We caught mostly yellowtail and they were fun to reel in. Lines were snapped by some bigger fish so we’ll always tell the stories of the ones that got away! Thanks for helping make the trip happen.

    We had an amazing lobstering trip with Captain Paulie! He made the whole experience really fun and was also very informative throughout the trip. We checked a couple different spots and ended up getting plenty of lobster, which made it even better. He even cleaned everything for us afterward. Such a great experience from start to finish, and we would definitely recommend him!

    We had such a great fishing trip with Captain Forrest! We tried a couple different spots, and the fish were biting a lot, so there was plenty of action. We even got to see a barracuda, which was really cool. Captain Forrest made the whole trip fun and enjoyable, and we had a great time out on the water. Definitely a good trip and would recommend!
