Grouper season just started which is a nice bonus as well be fishing for yellowtail snapper, both are amazing table fare. If your interested in offshore fishing mahi and start to really be plentiful on the weed lines and floating debris with the bonus wahoo or sailfish. Also this month is the start of snapper spawning and mutton snapper, mangrove snapper and yellowtail snapper will be aggregating to spawn on the reefs and bring a lot of action aggressively biting. Options and endless come make some memories this summer!

It's been a lot of lobsters, hook-n-cook muttons and Lanes, and a nice Palometta. Wreck fishing and the tuna are holding steady in March.

Even with the high winds we have managed to gind decently calm water holding lots of fish. Inshore and patch reefs are full of big lane snappers, yellowtails, mangroves, and of course the out of season groupers. Offshore is a little funny this year. The tuna have showed up, and the mahi seem like they are going to stick around this winter. Some days have been a bit slow in the deep blue water, so trolling the reef has provided us with plenty of mackerel action.

We've had some warm weather, so some good lobster catches on trips. The patch reef fishing is still very strong, with nice catches of yellowtail snapper and cero mackerel

    We had an amazing day with Justin, he ensured we had everything we needed and found the fish we were after. We even caught dinner!

    Trip: 3/4 Day Inshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    My wife and I and 13 year old son went on a six hour spearfishing tour with Torre and it was by far the highlight of our trip to the Keys. We ended up with a fridge full of lobster, snapper, cero mackerel and yellow jack and we turned it into sashimi, ceviche, lobster macaroni and beer battered fish. We saw hammerheads, goliath groupers and sea turtles. My wife and I had never spear fished before but we had a great time; much better than fishing. Torre was an amazing guide and clearly knew where to go and what to look for. Next time we’re in the Keys, this will be our first stop.

    Tom was a delight to be with for the day. He made it an pleasure with five (5) beginners. We tickled and netted more then we could eat for dinner for two nights. My family would recommend Tom to anyone.

    Hunter and Valerie were awesome! Even in unideal conditions at the end of the season, we were still able to bring in a bunch of lobster. They made things quick and easy, and Hunter was communicating with me all throughout the planning process. Would absolutely book again.

    Trip: Catch Your Own Tasty Lobster!

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jamie took us out in the early afternoon, and even though we knew the bite was a little slow at this time, we just wanted to get out and enjoy the water around beautiful Key West. He made the most of our four hours; we hit around four spots and even cruised over to the ocean side to try and find the bite that way. In this 4-hour trip, I got a crash course in fly fishing from one of the best. Jamie’s super laid-back, easy to talk to, and knows the area like the back of his hand. We wrapped up the trip with a gorgeous sunset; it was a 10/10 day all around. Even with the slow bite, it was one of the most scenic, educational, and unforgettable trips I’ve ever been on!

    Trip: Key West On Light Tackle & Flies

  • ★★★★★
    We had an amazing time! Captain was friendly and very helpful. The captain recommended that we take our catch to Mac’s Place bar just steps from the marina and have it prepared. The staff and preparation were both amazing!! We will return to do it all again! Thanks Antonio!!
