Fishing has been on fire as the water temps heat up and the schools of bait are thick the schools of fish are big. June 1st kicks off American Red Snapper season and it's tine to load up the fish box. Unreel fishing charters is the fastest charter boat in Clearwater you can get there fast & fish more.

Bonus Red Grouper also open right now.

Spring is in full swing here in Islamorada!

The yellowtail bite has been insane with several trips hitting their limit on the reef with some great opportunities for muttons and grouper as well. Wrecks have been holding a nice variety of species from Cobia, yellow jacks and some monster AJs too.

We have had a few nice Offshore days, too, with some mahi starting to show up, and targeting blackfin tuna on vertical jigs as well.

All in all, we have been having a great spring! We have been packing lots of fish for our clients. Let's make memories!

Current Naples fishing report has the waters warming up into the mid 80s, the tarpon eating on the beaches, the reds and snapper eating in the magroves, and the snook getting packed in the passes for the summer spawn!

Each trip we have been on in the last few weeks has had been loaded with excitement and the chances to hook and catch the trophy of a lifetime.

The bait has shifted to mainly freshly netted pilchards, but everything is still eating shrimp.

In fact, if it's dinner you're after, and live well full of live shrimp will all but...

In fact, if it's dinner you're after, and live well full of live shrimp will all but
guarantee a fresh load of mangrove snapper at the cleaning table!

There's been lots of big redfish in the backcountry mangroves...some are too big to keep, but most are in the upper slot (size range we are allowed to keep 18-27") and they have been e as ting pilchards, cut chunks of mullet, and shrimp.

Their cousins, the black drum have been eating shrimp, pn the incoming tides, and crashing the snapper party.

This is the ti.e of year that offers the chance to get the snook of a lifetime...the big snook are active, hungry, and eating pilchards as they prepare for the very spawning season that starts in June. They can range from small ones in the low 20s, to mid 40 inch monsters that rip drags, and totally test our nerves and skills as they use every piece of structure in the area to break the line, as they try to break our hearts.

The giant tarpon are all over the way morning beaches, back bays, and passes. The big sharks are in the back bays, and off the beaches, and both are ready to test your strength and resolve

Captain Troy was fantastic!!!! He got us on tons of fish. First time deep sea fishing and what an experience!!!! All four of us hooked onto mahi mahi at the same time and were so excited!! Dereck, the first mate absolutely worked his tail off keeping bait on all lines and helping us haul in allllll the fish!!!! We caught black fun tuna, mahi, and even a wahoo! Banner day, couldn't have asked for a better fishimg charter. If you dont wanna be disappointed book Capt Troy and the Miller Time boat!!

What an awesome experience. Kevin is fantastic! He knew the water and the fish and we had an amazing experience. Caught snapper, ladyfish, jack, snook, and even pivoted quickly to a lemon shark when we knew one was near by. It was a memorable adventure and I would highly recommend Kevin! Kevin also knew the area well and we went to the Lazy Lobster to have our catch cooked. So much fun! Thank you Kevin!
