We had a great group of 8 this week on two boats (thank you Rapid Fire Roger Kirk) and landed some bucket list fish!!!

All and all a solid day on the water between windy weeks
We have some April availability and May bookings are coming in. With Mahi season kicking off and Tuna at the humps- this is the time to lock in your trip to make memories!!

We are ending lobster season strong with the season ending March 31. Regular season opens august 6th, so start making some plans for a key west visit. Solid bite of all our reef fish, big muttons and yellow jacks. We are looking forward to the opening of grouper on 1 May. Hog fish and deep dropping also opens 1 May make some plans for that. Offshore Fishing will pick up as the water temperature warms up.

The Mahi are showing up!!!
Its getting to be that time of year when "The Green Guys" make their way through The Keys!!!
If this year's bite is anywhere close to last years, it will be awesome!!! Last year we averaged about 26 inch Mahi.
Somedays were better than others but we caught fish!!!
The thrill of the hunt and hearing the drag peeling off is what makes it fun!!!
Blackfin Tuna are hanging off the reef in about 250ft of water, which is a hop skip and a jump from land.
The spring currents and winds are pushing the...

Winter has been very good to us down here in Key West. We had a good solid bite on the patch reefs, cobia on wrecks. Lots of really good days for Diving when the temperature has been in the 80s we've been getting good lobster in line, Fish Diving. There's still a lot going on, lobster season doesn't close for another two weeks, so you still got time to get down and get some bugs before the season ends.

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!
