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

    Trip: Key West Mixed Bag Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Our Charter Boat Captain Antonio was very knowledgeable and professional regarding his handling of the boat and setting up our group on fish. It was 4-hour charter that went by fast. Once we settled into an area where we could catch fish, Antonio worked to keep us catching, and provided excellent guidance as each fish was landed. His patience was appreciated as I had my daughters on this adventure and it there first time on a fishing charter boat. I highly recommend Antonio if you are looking for professional boat captain that is young and eager to ensure that you get the best experience possible for the money!
