It's been a lot of lobsters, hook-n-cook muttons and Lanes, and a nice Palometta. Wreck fishing and the tuna are holding steady in March.

Justin Ferrell with Good Times Key West Key West, Florida Reported: 1 month ago

Even with the high winds we have managed to gind decently calm water holding lots of fish. Inshore and patch reefs are full of big lane snappers, yellowtails, mangroves, and of course the out of season groupers. Offshore is a little funny this year. The tuna have showed up, and the mahi seem like they are going to stick around this winter. Some days have been a bit slow in the deep blue water, so trolling the reef has provided us with plenty of mackerel action.

Trip: The Florida Keys Inshore Experience
★★★★★
We had a great time with billy. He took the time to show us a few things, and tell us about the keys. He is a very cool guy and I would recommend booking with him. I plan on doing this again and if I do, I will be trying to get billy again. We had a blast and caught a handful of fish. He knew where to go and what bait to use. I cant say enough of the great time and what a great guy he is,I could not thank him enough.
