A fun 4 hour morning reef trip today. We got throw back groupers (2 Short Reds and a protected Nassau) some delicious yellow jacks. This Angler got to fight some sharks too. The water was 1-2ft waves and we fished between 15ft and 80ft of water

Offshore has been hit or miss with mahi with a few good fish here and there . Finding some some nicer size triple tails on floaters occasionally . Tuna bite continues to be pretty consistent with some bigger fish coming up for live bait . Deep dropping for vermillion and yellow eye has been decent as well
Shallow patches and wrecks have been on fire with yellow jacks . We had to mercy rule a few schools with multiple 10 pound plus fish being caught as well . Flag yellowtail have been finicky but managed some great bites on live bait drifting around wrecks .
Overall fishing has been solid especially with the return of large schools of pilchards making their way back to the Channels .

Trip: Catch Your Own Tasty Lobster!
★★★★★
Captain Andrew. Aka drew. What can i say. From the very start he communicated with us he wanted to make sure we had time to cast net some great bait and he did. Hardest working guide ive ever seen. And im 60 so seen quite a few. Andrew put us on fish all day long. Incredibly knowledgea le about the entire area and fishing area. My wrist and right arm are a bit sore from catching so many fish. The big target today for me was Snook. He put us on them. I lost 2 in slot snook in the mangrove roots probably 28 to 30. But caught at leat 5 in the 24to 27 inch range and another 8 in the 14 to 22 or so. Always busy always catchin and fi ding them. We also caught some big jack cravele big ones. Make your arm hurt. Lol. Plenty of mangrove snapper a couple barracuda and a bull shark. All day. Fun day. Now im tired. Took my wife to just hang out. She loved it. Great fishing trip with this man. Mike and Tami. Jacksonville florida.

Captain Dan and Ryan were fantastic. The ocean was pretty rough that day but they helped us have a great time and pull in quite a few fish. We’ll be back again next year and will definitely look to hire them again!

Trip: Classic Keys Inshore Fishing
★★★★★
Hey Anglers, Born and raised here in Florida I feel like i know quite a bit about fishing, but our fishing guide Andrew was as good as they come. Hands down the best guide I have ever been out on the water with down here in the Keys. We pulled off a Keys slam... Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish. What a great day on the water. Thank Andrew for treating us to an amazing day. Tight lines, Frank

Great experience. Allen went above and beyond to ensure we hd a great tine. This was our first time lobstering, and Allen patiently taught us everything we need to know and helped us every step of the way. Could not have asked for more, as Allen made this trip exceed our expectations!
