They are going to spawn right now big females crawling around
with 50+ eggs inside of them to re-populate for next season.
We are mid and postponed for Peacock Bass so lots of hungry fish going on beds and coming off of beds. The bike has been spectacular catching a lot of trophy, mounting size Peacockbass.
As far as after the mahi are starting to roll in as these waters, get warmer, we are at the tail end of sailfish season still getting the sales king mackerel biting your round, as well as some Wahoo on the full moon

Spring is in full swing and there's plenty of happy fish swimming around! I love this time of year and we are just getting started. The wind has been constant but so has the fishing. It hasn't stopped us from catching bonefish, permit, snook, redfish and tarpon. Pick your poison...

    Trip: Islamorada Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We went out on a day when weather conditions were less than ideal and honestly I wasn’t sure we’d see much action at all. Despite the conditions, Captain Bill’s fishing and boat knowledge kept us in the game. The highlight of the trip was catching a 140lb lb Tarpon, the fight of a lifetime. If you are looking for a local guide who knows his craft, works hard, and has an easy to talk to personality, I would highly recommend Captain Bill.

    Trip: Top Notch Tarpon Trips

  • ★★★★★
    Book with Captain J!! We had such an amazing time. Me and my aunt got lucky and had the boat to ourselves, he brought us out to great spots. I am beyond overjoyed with the outcome of the charter. We got 14 good eating fish, yellow tail and snapper. And I caught a giant 10ft nurse shark! Definitely the best fight of my life, my body was a wreck the next day lol. We had such an amazing time because of captain j, he baited our hooks for us and took off all the fish. He was ready for everything, and cleaned and prepared all our catches
