The offshore bite has been steady with mahi and tuna. Reef bite it hot right now catching yellowtail and grouper. Inshore bite has slowed down a bit with this heat wave.

Fishing in Key West has been good lately. As the summer rolls in the snappers are spawning and yellowtail mutton and mangy's have been eating well along the reefs. Dolphin have been showing up but not in great numbers as of yet. Just a few big ones here and there and plenty of tiny ones. Hoping for that to turn into bigger fish soon.

Key West has had perfectly calm summer camp conditions with lots of sargasso grass to be found that is holding a lot of Mahi-Mahi. You can pretty much count on filling the box with some nice fish on 8 or 6 hour offshore trip. The current hasn't been terrible so we've been able to do some really good deep dropping although snowy grouper was closed early. We're still picking up a lot of good blue tiles.

And the Reef is still producing a very, very good red grouper, mutton, and yellowtail bite for the folks that want to stay a little bit closer in ensure. With these really, really warm and calm conditions we've been doing a lot of of Lionfish diving. Folks have really been able to fill up on them. I want to remind everybody too. They were only six weeks away from the opening of lobster season on August 6! Spots are filling up so book soon if you wanna get out and get your limit of lobsters
You might get lucky (as long as things are in-season).

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.
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 absolute blast on this charter! Captain Paulie is a great captain. He put a lot of effort into making sure we were catching fish and enjoying ourselves. I highly recommend him and would go again.
Fished with Capt Zac B for the second year in a row, he puts us on fish every year. Fished with my wife and daughter this year and had a blast pulling on sharks, grouper, snapper, etc. my daughter caught 7 different species.
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!
Great trip with Capt. Allen. He was all in on getting us up to speed. It could have been a day of shirts, but Allen was dedicated on getting us on some keepers. Great day, great trip, great Captain!
