Spring arrives and so do the fish . Awesome trout fishing finally some great snapper and a good steady dose of snook are making for some spectacular fishing. Temps are still comfortable and that adds up to having great times .

So the bite this week we end up catching a lot of barracuda, taking some younger kids out, which was exciting, and then a really nice mutton snapper

The Mahi are showing up!!!
Its getting to be that time of year when "The Green Guys" make their way through The Keys!!!
If this year's bite is anywhere close to last years, it will be awesome!!! Last year we averaged about 26 inch Mahi.
Somedays were better than others but we caught fish!!!
The thrill of the hunt and hearing the drag peeling off is what makes it fun!!!
Blackfin Tuna are hanging off the reef in about 250ft of water, which is a hop skip and a jump from land.
The spring currents and winds are pushing the fish to us!! Its only going to get better!!!
And dont forget, along with The Green Guys, Wahoo are around as well!!

March madness is in full effect and the fish are happy as can be! When the warm weather rolls in, the fish cooperate with plenty of opportunities to catch tarpon, bonefish, permit, redfish and snook.

Great time with capt Hann and Drew. Super knowledgeable and enjoyed our conversations. Although we only had three bites and two catches, we still enjoyed the day in the water and were able to take our tuna catch to a local restaurant for dinner which was amazing.

We had an awesome time fishing on 3/23/26. We caught some massive amberjacks that kept getting eaten by sharks, so they switched up what and where we fished a put us on some great snapper and black fins. Zach was working hard to keep us fishing the whole time. Great time!

Trip: 4-8 Hour Fishing Trip
★★★★★
Easily one of the best fishing trips I have been on! Ken called me several days before the charter to ask what expectations I had for the trip and what my target species were. I could tell Ken was very knowledgeable about the Florida waters as he put us on the fish with in the first few casts of the trip! He gave us tips and tricks throughout the trip on how to better cast and catch fish. In totally we caught 25 - 30 fish throughout the trip. We kept 4 Sea Trout for dinner that night. Ken beautifully filleted the trout for us at the end of the trip. Next time I'm down in the Keys I will definitely be booking a trip with Ken again!!

Great fishing trip for our family with Captain Brian! He put us on more speckled trout than ever imagined and ensured that everyone had an awesome experience. If you’re interested in a wonderful fishing experience for a family, be sure to request Captain Brian!
