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 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 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

We take off to the wild blue water of the gulf stream and look for current rips, weed lines and diving birds. Results could be plenty of Dolphin fish (Mahi), Tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, Sharks, Marlin and Swordfish! We also deep drop far offshore with big equipment to bring up select eating deep dwellers like Snowy Groupers, Tilefish, Barrelfish and Queen Snappers. We can also do a custom trip to target Swordfish all out on the edge of the continental shelf which we call “The Wall”. Catch Mahi on the way out or back and try your luck at the top big game billfish on earth Swordfish and Marlin. These offshore trips we have to add more to the cost due to additional fuel. Our twin 300HP engines you will get there quickly and safely! Read More

trip description for Key West Lobstering - 24’ Yellowfin in Key West

If you're looking to mix it up out in Key West, this trip has your name on it! On this Lobstering trip—perfect for families—you'll use nets and "tickle sticks" to bag Spiny Lobsters, which are a blast to catch and even better to eat. Catching Lobsters takes a little practice, but once you've done it once, you'll never forget it. Captain John can give you all the expert tips, but it's a simple task: use your tickle stick to coax the Lobsters into your net without letting them swim away, because if they decide to take off, they're surprisingly speedy. Once they're netted, you can swim back to the surface and throw that bug on ice! Captain John provides the nets and sticks, but you'll need to bring along your own snorkel, scuba mask, fins, and gloves if you choose to wear them. These pieces of equipment are essential, so come prepared! For everything else, John has it covered. Just remember sunscreen (no spray please) and a pair of sunglasses to cut the glare. The Lobsters are out there—get out there and get after it! Read More
