Let's go! The fishing has been pretty good, and the weather is looking great for this week.
Offshore we have had large sargassum weed lines and the mahi have arrived! Early morning, and sunset have also produced some quality blackfin tuna.
The inshore bite has been on fire. Some really nice mutton snappers, mangrove, and yellowtails on the patch reefs and inside the islands. The AM and sunset tarpon bite has been pretty active. Lane snapper population is slowly fading as the water warms up.

On our Dry Tortugas trips we have been catching a ton of species. Last weeks
day trip had a laundry list;
Mahi, tuna, mackerels, bonitos offshore. Then we got to the reef for muttons, yellowtails, and mangroves snappers. Once at the park, our guests walked the beach of Garden Key and caught and released some bonefish and tarpon. Also, hand feeding a 300lb Goliath grouper at the dock was a memorable experience.

The past few days have delivered picture-perfect conditions—calm seas, warm temps, and crystal-clear water—and the tarpon fishing has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Key West is loaded with migratory tarpon right now, with hundreds of fish staged throughout the backcountry in their annual spring pattern. Over the last three days, we’ve experienced our best bite of the season, hooking a dozen or more fish per day.
These fish range from 15 to 150 pounds, with a solid average around 60 lbs—plenty of shots at true trophies mixed in with steady action.

Even better, the bite has been aggressive across the
board. Whether you’re fishing with live bait or artificials, the tarpon are feeding hard and giving anglers incredible opportunities.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time—this is it.

We have had a long stretch of difficult conditions in the Keys as many of you know. However, when the sun peeks through the clouds we have seen some great tarpon and bonefish. We have another short stretch of bad weather showing up. After that pushes through I believe the big migratory tarpon will make a good showing.

When the wind lays down… you go.
Then straight to the reef for a cooler full of yellowtail
Sun out. Seas flat. Rods bent all day.

    Our guide was knowledgeable and courteous I booked a all day trip and we had some good shots at catching fish. The only thing I was surprised at was the only food available for all day was water. I have booked many flats fishing excursions and always was supplied with at least a sandwich
