Spring is in full swing here in Islamorada!

The yellowtail bite has been insane with several trips hitting their limit on the reef with some great opportunities for muttons and grouper as well. Wrecks have been holding a nice variety of species from Cobia, yellow jacks and some monster AJs too.

We have had a few nice Offshore days, too, with some mahi starting to show up, and targeting blackfin tuna on vertical jigs as well.

All in all, we have been having a great spring! We have been packing lots of fish for our clients. Let's make memories!

Grouper season is here, and they're biting! Yellowtail bite has still been hot as well. Inshore fishing has slowed down this week, and the mahi are starting to show up.

May Fishing Report – Marathon, Florida Keys

The summer fishing bite is building fast here in the Florida Keys, and we have been staying on the fish!

Recent offshore trips have delivered classic “Mahi Madness” action with aggressive mahi crashing weed lines and floating debris. Anglers enjoyed nonstop excitement, including multiple hookups and beautiful keeper mahi coming over the rails.

Back on the reef, the bite has stayed steady with quality Yellowtail Snapper and Mackerel making great table fare. Jim’s recent 4-hour reef trip produced fresh fish for dinner and even turned into an incredible homemade fish sandwich just hours...

May Fishing Report – Marathon, Florida Keys

The summer fishing bite is building fast here in the Florida Keys, and we have been staying on the fish!

Recent offshore trips have delivered classic “Mahi Madness” action with aggressive mahi crashing weed lines and floating debris. Anglers enjoyed nonstop excitement, including multiple hookups and beautiful keeper mahi coming over the rails.

Back on the reef, the bite has stayed steady with quality Yellowtail Snapper and Mackerel making great table fare. Jim’s recent 4-hour reef trip produced fresh fish for dinner and even turned into an incredible homemade fish sandwich just hours
after leaving the dock.

With warming water temperatures, calmer conditions, and summer patterns beginning to settle in, we’re excited for what’s ahead for mahi, tuna, snapper, and reef fishing in Marathon.

Whether you want fast-paced offshore action or a fun family reef trip, now is a great time to fish the Florida Keys with us!

    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!

    I booked a trip with Jason as a gift for my husband/father for Father’s Day. Four people in total went on the trip, three adults and one child. Everyone who went on the trip caught fish and had an incredible time! Even my 9-year-old son loved the trip! Jason was knowledgeable in ways that seriously impressed my husband. Jason was kind and helpful through out the trip. My husband said that Jason was helping him before he even asked for help! The group recommends Jason 10/10 and would go another trip with him.
