Cold front temperatures are from the high 70s to low 60s but on the temperature up side fish are feeding hard from adult size tarpon to large snook considering temperatures in the rest of the country Florida Keys are a great escape.

Winner is in full winter is in full swing with 70° temperatures during the day and fantastic sale fishing, the King mackerels are around to bend the rod, as well as some really nice tuners. The mutton snappers have moved into the deep water of course groupers are closed so we don't fish for them and basically it's just my favorite time of year. nothing is more fun than hooking up to a sale Fish and watching him job and having the boat back down on them for the real excitement on the right weather day, put the Kites up...

Marathon, Florida
Reported 1 year ago
End of the Year brings great fishing on the Reefs, last of the Mahi and still Wahoo. Sailfish have already been caught in Marathon, so sight casting to Sailfish surfing the waves is always a Blast!! Great size Grey (Mangrove) Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper and Large Muttons are showing up on the Reefs and wrecks. Amberjack are always a great battle on medium gear and a bonus catch while on the wrecks. We've had some windy days mixed in throughout the week, so plan on a back-up day, just in case, for a chance at a better day on the water....

Reported 1 year ago
Inshore fishing has remained consistent with the higher than normal wind conditions we have experienced over the past few weeks. I have been focusing on the backcountry channels and flats targeting Mangrove Snapper, Mackerel, Speckled Trout and Goliath Grouper. Snapper fishing has been very good producing catches in the 2-4lb range on a consistent basis with some larger fish in the mix. While targeting these Snapper I have also been dropping a big bait down for Goliath Grouper that provides excitement for all aboard. These fish have been averaging from 30lb to well over 100lbs and provide an ultimate battle...

These fish have been averaging from 30lb to well over 100lbs and provide an ultimate battle on stand up gear, catching a couple of these Grouper is not uncommon. The Spanish and Cero Mackerel and a few Speckled Trout have been making their appearance as the water temps cool slightly. All of these species will continue to improve with the water cooling and the weather settling into our winter season. I encourage everyone to experience some of the best inshore fishing the Florida Keys has to offer this winter, multiple species that are readily available and fishing the backcountry provides opportunities even when it's windy.

    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.

    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!
