Hey guys. Had Jen P and her crew out recently to try their hand at catching spiny lobster for the first time. Everyone ended up catching a few. Plenty for lunch and some for dinner.

Offshore mahi have been caught if you have enough time or fast back because we have been running 20+ miles to find cooler water holding quality fish. A few bonito, wahoo and blackfin tuna have been caught. Saw two marlin this past month no chewers.

Inshore has been good with quality and consistent mangrove snappers. Also having fun with lots of Jack carvelle and lemon sharks. Most of the tarpon have pushed out.

Lobster mini season was a success. No one on any of our boats cried or died, and we even managed to catch a few lobster. I hope...

the boost of the economy (including mine) was worth the resource depletion. It's a tough balance to find.

We are still having a solid offshore bite with good snapper and grouper on the reef! Our real exciting news is lobster season it's just around the corner. Mini season is less than two weeks away and regular season is less than three weeks away. I've been seeing lots and lots of really good solid lobsters when I'm doing my Lion Fish dives so I'm sure it's going to be a great lobster season!

Fishing has been decent but mostly mangys and yellowtail on the reef. Still a few muttons being caught but not as good as it was during the spawns. Dolphin have not been great but still some small fish being caught in our area. The sargasso weed is still making trolling difficult but if you can find a lane you can get a few. Looking forward to the dive season coming up for spiny lobster!

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.

Fishing in Key West has been good lately. As the summer rolls in the snappers are spawning and yellowtail mutton and mangy's have been eating well along the reefs. Dolphin have been showing up but not in great numbers as of yet. Just a few big ones here and there and plenty of tiny ones. Hoping for that to turn into bigger fish soon.

    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!
