When the wind lays down… you go.
Then straight to the reef for a cooler full of yellowtail
Sun out. Seas flat. Rods bent all day.
Spring fishing in the Florida Keys is only getting better.

Snook bit has been on 🔥 and we are starting to get some good 30+ inch reds up in the trees. Shark bite staying consistent and if you want to fill the cooler with meat the mackerel and trout are plentiful.

We had a great group of 8 this week on two boats (thank you Rapid Fire Roger Kirk) and landed some bucket list fish!!!
Trolling some beautiful weed lines Blacks Pearl found Mahi and Tuna while Rapid Fire snagged a Wahoo!!
All and all a solid day on the water between windy weeks
We have some April availability and May bookings are coming in. With Mahi season kicking off and Tuna at the humps- this is the time to lock in your trip to make memories!!

We are ending lobster season strong with the season ending March 31. Regular season opens august 6th, so start making some plans for a key west visit. Solid bite of all our reef fish, big muttons and yellow jacks. We are looking forward to the opening of grouper on 1 May. Hog fish and deep dropping also opens 1 May make some plans for that. Offshore Fishing will pick up as the water temperature warms up.

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.

    Captain Joel (and first mate Sean) were great! They were warm and welcoming right off the bat! With their help, we caught tuna and mahi and had a great time. We were out in some rough waters and Captain Joel made us all feel at ease with his calm demeanor and skilled driving. Appreciated them preparing all our catch into fillets and steaks. Awesome time!

    Trip: Half-Day Tarpon Trip (Seasonal)

  • ★★★★★
    We booked a fishing charter for my husband 60th birthday, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! Kevin and Max were absolutely awesome! Friendly knowledgeable, professional and committed to making sure everyone had a great time. They put us on the fish and we wound up catching a barracuda and a tuna, which made the day that much more exciting. The best part was bringing our fresh tuna to Kaya restaurant where they prepared it three different ways. It was an incredible experience from start to finish. If you are considering a fishing charter, we highly recommend Captain Experiences and especially Kevin and Max. Thank you for making my husband 60th birthday so special. Looking forward to doing this again!
