Water color has been super green offshore, a few nice fish around but they are scare and scattered. We found some wahoo, mahi, and tuna in one trip, all solo. Reef has some big yellow tails but not big numbers.
Backcountry we are still finding some mangrove snapper and yellow jacks. No shortage of big sharks and cudas.

Reported 4 years ago
Lower keys flats fishing is still on fire, tarpon can be found on calmer mornings and a few straggler migrators can be found traveling. As the sun gets higher bonefish and permit can be found on any of the respective flats so long as the water doesnt get to hot. Unfortunately low pressure systems are more abundant this time of year which brings a lot of wind clouds and rain which makes it hard to see some of the fish on the flats.

    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!
