Great summer fishing hasn't slowed down for us down here in South Florida and the Florida Keys. Plenty of big snook, juvenile tarpon, schooling redfish, tailing bonefish, and cruising permit, we have it all this time of year and blessed for the fishery that provides even in the hottest time of year for us. It only gets better now through the fall, book a guide and come check it out for yourself!

Great few weeks here in islamorada ! Offshore fishing is definitely picking up with some great schools of mahi out there . Deep dropping has been excellent as well with some nice tile fish and nice sized vermillion snappers coming up as well .
Reef bite continues to be excellent with the mangrove snappers schooling up to spawn on the patch reefs .Also of plenty of yellow tail on the deeper reefs .

Mini season for lobster was a huge success hitting our limit both days pretty quickly . Then lobster opener we did it again with a 4 man...

Kehler from Brentwood, TN came down to celebrate his high school graduation. Caught a mix of backcountry species

Steve Venini had a blast with some baby tarpon on a 7wt fly rod. Had 10 eat the fly and got 7 to the boat on a morning half day.

The offshore bite has been steady with mahi and tuna. Reef bite it hot right now catching yellowtail and grouper. Inshore bite has slowed down a bit with this heat wave.

    We had a blast with Drake and Trey on our iguana hunt. They both were extremely accommodating with our boys and both worked really hard to put us on iguanas all night. We ended with 21 and had chances at plenty more. I highly recommend
