We had a little wind and rain but nothing too crazy. Missed 4 days of being on the water. Here is a little report and some recent pics from our 35' offshore..... This month was a real mixed bag on our 24’ trolling, bottom fishing, reefs, backcountry, and lobster territory. Bottom fishing in the shallow/ calm backcountry has produced some high quality mangrove, lane, and mutton snappers in large numbers. Some trips catching their allowed limits. No shortage of big 100lb + lemon sharks that you’ll need to race for your dinner. Nicer weather days we have fished on the...

No shortage of big 100lb + lemon sharks that you’ll need to race for your dinner. Nicer weather days we have fished on the patch reefs just south of Key West. Red grouper, yellowtail snapper, and a verity of types of mackerel. Even did a catch n cook woth spadefish (a first for me). If you have lobster on your mind, well so do we! Many of our shallow water honey holes have been picked clean this late in the season. 6hr + lobster trips gave us enough time to run 20+ miles to areas with less pressure and they are still housing some quality bugs.

1. the last month has seen the lobstering remain very strong, we are regularly getting our limit on the half day lobster diving trips; 2. The water is still very warm and comfortable for diving and folks are having a great time on our half day Lionfish hunting trips. Nothing better than cleaning the reef of these invasive fish and they're delicious!! 3. The bottom fishing is remaining very strong as we start our transition to fall and winter fishing. Nice catches of muttons, yellowtail and big numbers of Lane snappers are showing up; 4. Most exciting on this last...

Nice catches of muttons, yellowtail and big numbers of Lane snappers are showing up; 4. Most exciting on this last full moon we got Wahoo and expect this fishing to just improve as the water cools!! Sunset tuna fishing is picking up, if you guys want to post these 'Half day sunset fishing for tuna and snapper, we leave the dock around 3 and catch snapper until around 5:30, when we set up for tuna trolling from 6 to 7 pm, these tuna tend to turn on as the sunsets and the bite can be amazing!' Bo and Brittany had a great lobster trip

Mangrove snapper and sharks I. The backcountry. Reef bite has been good with yellowtail snapper, king and Spanish mackerel. Offshore has been hit or miss. But we have found a few nice fish include this wahoo, a few mahi a a couple skipjack and blackfin tunas. Plenty of Bonita and cudas to keep us busy between the quality fish.

Live bait in the backcountry has been producing a lot of snapper, jacks, barracudas and sharks. Offshore has been consistent mahi on any floating structure from 200'-1200' of water. Also a few tunas caught here and there. We capitalized on a big blackfin school that was following porpoises in 500' last week.

Hogfish are open in Florida and we have excellent spots to spear one! Water visibility is very good in the summer in Key West. Half, 3/4 and full day spearfishing trips available.

    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.

    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!
