Winter has been very good to us down here in Key West. We had a good solid bite on the patch reefs, cobia on wrecks. Lots of really good days for Diving when the temperature has been in the 80s we've been getting good lobster in line, Fish Diving. There's still a lot going on, lobster season doesn't close for another two weeks, so you still got time to get down and get some bugs before the season ends.

The water temp has been coldest I've seen in a while. The inshore fishery was almost nonexistent for a couple days. Luckily as soon as the cold weather turned, the mangrove and lane snappers slowly started coming back.

On the days with decent conditions and adventurous guests, we ventured to a bit deeper water looking for a little warmer water temperatures. We found some nice red grouper (season closed till May) and a variety of quality snappers.

Beyond the reef had been decent. Not exactly all the designer fish, but plenty of action to be had. Decent numbers of cero,...

Spanish, and king mackerels, some cudas, and bonita have been caught as well. I heard of a handful of sailfish being caught as well.

We've been catching 5 miles from shore. Those are just some of the fish we caught.

The inshore fishing has been pretty good!

Hey guys, been fighting some tough weather conditions. once we get through this cold spell, we'll get back in the water. We've been getting good lobsters and Lionfish. The cobia are here on the wrecks now and the patch reef fishing is staying solid.

    Sean was a guide who puts anglers safety at the forefront of everything which all anglers should appreciate. Unfortunately one of our two days was blown out due to weather. He persevered trying to put us on fish until the weather became too unstable. He has 30+ years of guiding experience in the area. Enjoyed our time with Sean.

    Our trip with Aaron was enjoyable even with the choppy waters. Aaron’s boat was extremely clean and we felt safe aboard. He had radar/fish finder there to help pick a spot and dropped in some bait to entice the fish. He helped bait hooks for us which was very appreciated even by our more experienced angler. We caught mostly yellowtail and they were fun to reel in. Lines were snapped by some bigger fish so we’ll always tell the stories of the ones that got away! Thanks for helping make the trip happen.

    We had an amazing lobstering trip with Captain Paulie! He made the whole experience really fun and was also very informative throughout the trip. We checked a couple different spots and ended up getting plenty of lobster, which made it even better. He even cleaned everything for us afterward. Such a great experience from start to finish, and we would definitely recommend him!

    We had such a great fishing trip with Captain Forrest! We tried a couple different spots, and the fish were biting a lot, so there was plenty of action. We even got to see a barracuda, which was really cool. Captain Forrest made the whole trip fun and enjoyable, and we had a great time out on the water. Definitely a good trip and would recommend!
