Hey guys. Had Jen P and her crew out recently to try their hand at catching spiny lobster for the first time. Everyone ended up catching a few. Plenty for lunch and some for dinner.

Offshore mahi have been caught if you have enough time or fast back because we have been running 20+ miles to find cooler water holding quality fish. A few bonito, wahoo and blackfin tuna have been caught. Saw two marlin this past month no chewers.
Inshore has been good with quality and consistent mangrove snappers. Also having fun with lots of Jack carvelle and lemon sharks. Most of the tarpon have pushed out.
Lobster mini season was a success. No one on any of our boats cried or died, and we even managed to catch a few lobster. I hope...

Lobster mini season was a success. No one on any of our boats cried or died, and we even managed to catch a few lobster. I hope the boost of the economy (including mine) was worth the resource depletion. It's a tough balance to find.
We are still having a solid offshore bite with good snapper and grouper on the reef! Our real exciting news is lobster season it's just around the corner. Mini season is less than two weeks away and regular season is less than three weeks away. I've been seeing lots and lots of really good solid lobsters when I'm doing my Lion Fish dives so I'm sure it's going to be a great lobster season!

Fishing has been decent but mostly mangys and yellowtail on the reef. Still a few muttons being caught but not as good as it was during the spawns. Dolphin have not been great but still some small fish being caught in our area. The sargasso weed is still making trolling difficult but if you can find a lane you can get a few. Looking forward to the dive season coming up for spiny lobster!

Fishing in Key West has been good lately. As the summer rolls in the snappers are spawning and yellowtail mutton and mangy's have been eating well along the reefs. Dolphin have been showing up but not in great numbers as of yet. Just a few big ones here and there and plenty of tiny ones. Hoping for that to turn into bigger fish soon.

Zak was an excellent captain and guide! He kept us safe and comfortable for the ride and took us to the perfect sandbar location. We’ll be booking him again next girls trip to Key West!
Dayron was a fabulous guide. It began with great communication and ended with a bunch of snappers ready for the frying pan. Dayron was accommodating, knowledgable and a lot of un to fish with. I would highly recommend the next time you want to go fishing in the Captiva Island area.
Cot Lou was professional, prompt with communication. We had a great day catching fish, he was great with 16 year old grandson and cared about our comfort throughout the 4 hour trip. I would highly recommend him, have already referred him to friends.
