It's always an experience getting down here to key west to do some fishing and diving, and this year has not disappointed. I would have to say the theme is less people more lobsters. We are into our regular lobster season now catching our limit. Every single day conditions have been so beautiful.
We ran out to 1860 feet of water this past Tuesday landed right in a school of beautiful mahi. After we had our way with them trolling, we busted out the top water plugs and we're catching 10 to 15...

We ran out to 1860 feet of water this past Tuesday landed right in a school of beautiful mahi. After we had our way with them trolling, we busted out the top water plugs and we're catching 10 to 15 pound fish on topwater.
The following day we decided to get into some 1000 foot deep bottom fishing. The golden tiles were on it along with some beautiful snowy grouper.
We're going to be here for a few more weeks so come see what this beautiful paradise has got to offer. The water is so clear if you look, you're going to see something beautiful.
Get your trips booked with Captain Experiences and we will definitely bow some RODZ and get you underwater for a amazing experience tight lines for now Captain Phil
Summer time Bass fishing has been great lately on Bass boats and large groups on pontoons we have been using wild shiners and a variety of artificial toasters and plastic baits to catch the bass on , we also offer bream trips as well

As things change to our Midsomer patterns. It’s all about the availability of the bait. That drives the fish bite. When we get the strong outgoing tides near the new and full moon, pass crabs are flushing out of Tampa Bay in big numbers. This is one of our favorite scenarios to catch Tarpon. It concentrates the fish and they are focused on those little crabs.
Also, the second hatch of sardines has exploded, and the flats are covered. The small Bait are exactly what the mangrove snapper are looking for solid catches of snapper daily now. We are still...

Also, the second hatch of sardines has exploded, and the flats are covered. The small Bait are exactly what the mangrove snapper are looking for solid catches of snapper daily now. We are still seeing our share of Snook. And redfish the over slot speckled trout have moved out to the edge of the grass flats and have been super cooperative anytime the tide is moving.
The bite has been on fire from the shallow mangrove lined flats to rock pile fishing in the bay. We have been using live bait catching snook, trout, redfish, mangrove snapper and more!

My whole crew was extremely happy with excursion I was sick the whole trip so this review is for them. I’d recommend them very informative very nice and very caring.
George was a great Captain, he was knowable of the area and very professional! He made my request for my wife who has never caught a slot red or a snook come true she actually caught both.
George was a good conversationalist and after talking with him and sharing some stories, we found out he is really a good guy and we will use him again.
Great day on the water, Thanks again Captain George!
Steven was a great captain! We first went bait fishing and caught some good fish, didn’t happen to catch any sharks this time but still had a great time seeing a hammerhead shark, stingrays, dolphins, and amber schools. It was a super fun trip and I highly recommend Steven as he seems to know the area and how to fish it very well.
We had the best trip ever, captain john was so funny and was teaching us the ways of the bay. Ended up catching about 15-20 fish each between me and my dad. After the trip we were so pumped and hyped just thinking about all the catches. I highly recommend captain john for your next charter in Tampa Bay. 10/10 on the entire trip and the experience!!! Love that this charter is veteran owned as well, being active duty myself, I felt very comfortable and the vibes were immaculate. The boat was super clean and everything was organized which was helpful while out on the water. Please book with John!!!
Captain Steven is the real deal. We had a party of 4 and none of us had been on an ocean charter before and we all wanted to catch some sharks. Steven put us on a load of bull sharks, we each caught a shark, the biggest of the 4 sharks being about 5.5ft long. He’s great at instructing and demonstrating everything, he’s great with novice fishermen, and he’s a fun guy to be around. He will put you on some fish.
He was awesome, was super accommodating to our group and made sure we left with a good catch. He was super personable and lets you reel in your catches, I will definitely be booking with him again!
Captain Steven gave us a great trip catching fish. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and was a great experience overall. I recommend Captain Steven for those of you looking to take advantage of the Tampa experience.
