We high speed wahoo trolled for a couple hours, trolling over different wrecks in the area. We caught a 33 pound wahoo and a 24 pound kingfish before at the end of the falling tide. Successful morning, targeted species acquired

Fall Fishing is finally here & best time of year in Islamorada and the Everglades National Park. Weather is steady between 70 and 80 degrees straight through Fall and we are blessed by wide open bites. No frosty morning here

Weather is cooling down and it's really starting to feel like fall. Redfish, trout and snook love this time of year. Cool weather and a hot bite! Florida bay comes alive in the fall/winter months.

The last couple of weeks have been very good in the Florida Keys, between Key Largo & Marathon. The predominant bite offshore has been swordfish & blackfin tunas. The swordfish have been holding well off the ledges & the blackfins are super thick on the humps. We are catching our limits on blackfin tuna just about every trip & a few mahi-mahi in the mix as an extra treat.
On the reefs & wrecks, the Yellowtail snapper / mutton bite has still been consistent on the reefs between 45- 90 feet of water and on the deeper water wrecks in 100 plus feet. Captain’s tip for deep water snapper fishing: Fishing the deeper water you gotta lock down your drag, wind hard & fast as possible, admire your fish when he’s on the boat, lol. This technique is to outrun the tax man aka Mr. Shark, who is surely lurking & seems to want your prized flag yellowtails or muttons a little bit more than we do.
The wahoo & first of the fall sailfish should start showing up in the next few weeks as more cold fronts approach our area. We are looking forward to live bait fishing and flying the kites for the spectacular top water aerial attack on the baits.

As the seasons change, we are awaiting the arrival of the winter fish—especially Sailfish! The typical fall patterns of late season Mahi and Blackfin Tunas are still in the area. The Florida Keys had very little damage and are up and running!

    Trip: Key Largo Reefs And Wrecks!

  • ★★★★★
    Chris was outstanding as a captain. Aside from is plentiful fishing knowledge and keeping us on bites all day long he was good to talk to and kept us on the fish the entire time we were out there. Even with a shorter half day trip Chris made sure to get us as much fish as possible in the shortened amount of time. The boat was very well kept and gave us many pointers as to how to prepare and cook the fish we caught. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back very soon!

    Paul and first mate Gary worked hard all day on our 8 hour trip offshore. Targeting Blackfin Tuna, Mackerel and Sailfish all day and keeping us over the fish with consistent bites. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants a good experience offshore and will hopefully be back again in the future.

    Trip: Lobster Diving, And Snorkeling Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We used captain Chris for a lobstering charter. We had a 6 people including my son that is 8 years old who is very intuitive and ask tons of questions. I can say if enough how great he was with my son. He is very laid back and exceed expectations on showing us how to hunt for lobster. He made sure that everyone left with lobster. diner. 10 out of 10 experience. Will be recommending to everyone. Also has a great playlist on the boat.
