Fall Fishing is my absolute favorite time of year here in the Upper Keys. Fishing is very productive from the Everglades to the flats of Islamorada as we have beautiful sunny 75 degree bluebird days.

Summer time is in full swing and, for us that men's calmer seas, and beautiful clear water to fish. Reef and wreck has been a bit of a challenge with warmer water temps bringing in more shark activity, some days have been tougher than others but we still managed to put some nice boxes together of yellowtail, and more Offshore bite has been decent with a very consistent almaco jack and amber jack bite. Mahi have been a bit a of a roller coaster with some strong weeks early on and a few tough days in between to find quality fish. On tough Mahi days the tuna have been great on vertical jigs and live bait, and also had some great deep drop opportunities for vermillion and more.

The bite has been consistent. The mornings have produced some big Kingfish early and some monster Amberjacks mid day. Barracudas are everywhere right now. On the bottom, there have been some really big Mutton Snapper, nice Mangrove Snapper in a little shallower. An occasional Sailfish or two have been showing up late afternoon. The Mahi are way out deep, about 10 miles offshore with some small schools of big Blackfin Tuna. The Sharks were gone for the last 10 days but are now back, hanging out around the deeper shipwrecks. We caught two huge Black Groupers a few days ago and pulled the hook on several smaller ones.

June The summer bite is on fire! Offshore trips are producing solid numbers of mahi, with blackfin tuna and grouper also in the mix. Snapper action remains strong on the reefs. Inshore, tarpon are still active during summer nights, and we’re seeing good bites from trout, snook, and the occasional jack. Both offshore and inshore trips are producing great action—now’s a prime time to get on the water!

Sailfish and mahi-mahi have been showing up consistently; live baiting and trolling have been working very effectively; no need to head too far offshore. All these fish are on the reef or no further than the 50 line. Use fresh baits. Book a three-quarter day trip to give your crew enough time to put you on a fish of a lifetime. Springtime is here, big smoker. Kingfish should be showing up soon, and don't forget, folks, summer is here.

  • ★★★★★
    We had a wonderful fishing trip with Bryan. He was very knowledgeable and helped us immensely since we had little to no experience offshore fishing. We could feel that he cared about us catching a fish and that he was trying to fulfill. In the end, we caught 3 fish - 2 rainbow runners and 1 mutton snapper and lost 3 fish. We are super happy.

  • ★★★★★
    Chris was outstanding as a captain. Aside from is plentiful fishing knowledge and keeping us on bites all day long he was good to talk to and kept us on the fish the entire time we were out there. Even with a shorter half day trip Chris made sure to get us as much fish as possible in the shortened amount of time. The boat was very well kept and gave us many pointers as to how to prepare and cook the fish we caught. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back very soon!
