It's been a windy few weeks with multiple cold fronts pushing through. Which has gave way to some excellent patch reef fishing . Many keeper mutton's have moved shallow with some being caught over 18 pounds in less then 17 ft of water . Not to mention decent yellowtails , red grouper , lane snappers ,mackerels and more . On the inshore side bait has been thick giving way to many great opportunities for tarpon snook , and plus sized mangrove snappers . Plenty of action to be had !

It's that time of year where the water cools and the reef fishing starts to heat up. Plenty of healthy mutton snapper in the shallows along with mangroves and the occasional grouper with some too big to stop before getting you back in the reef. Also the cooler water means Sailfish. Winter time sailfishing is one of the most sought after fisheries during the winter months with multiple hookups and releases being pretty consistent.

Fall fishing has begun , bringing some great offshore , inshore , and near shore fishing opportunities! This is our favorite time of year . Wrecks fishing is starting to heat up with flag yellow tail, mutton's and more . Lobstering is definitely always i. The back of our minds when conditions are favorable and we had some decent luck between patch reef fishing . Offshore mahi are still around and we finally starting to see some larger sized schools of fish show up . Over all beginning of fall season has been solid and we look forward to seeing

Long time client out for a day of backcountry fishing landed some nice redfish on a recent trip. Fishing buddies and regular customers, Doug and Jim, had another successful day of snook fishing near Cape Sable in Everglades National Park. Landing 9 snook in total.

We are expecting a good Fall fishing season. The temperatures have cooled down, and the fish are biting pretty good. We are catching some small Tarpon on artificial baits. The Snook bite has been consistent in the Backcountry.

    Trip: Flats Backcountry Quest

  • ★★★★★
    Kevin was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided easy step by step instruction instructions while fighting 2 - 5 foot lemon sharks in less than 1/2 hour before daylight faded. Both were unkooked boat side with great video and pictures. His boat is clean and organized making it safe and easy to move around the boat while battling a catch of a lifetime for 2 Wisconsinites. Thanks Kevin. See you soon.

    Trip: Half Day Little Torch Key

  • ★★★★★
    We had an amazing time iguana hunting! There were thunderstorms in the distance when we arrived, and I honestly thought the trip would be canceled—but our guides, Wesley and Matt, knew exactly what they were doing. We never got a single drop of rain and they spotted way more iguanas than we ever would have on our own. The only thing I’d do differently is bring my own flashlight. They had plenty to share, but not enough for everyone to have one at the same time. Highly recommend this adventure!
