These beasts were landed just after hurricane Ian ran through. We headed out early on the day after land fall. Pilchards had moved into the creaks by the thousands making for easy bait opportunities. After one throw we loaded up on jumbo razors . Then headed to some wrecks just passed the reefs in Islamorada. The water was milky but calm , stirred up from the week of high winds .

These beasts were landed just after hurricane Ian ran through. We headed out early on the day after land fall. Pilchards had moved into the creaks by the thousands making for easy bait opportunities. After one throw we loaded up on jumbo razors . Then headed to some wrecks just passed the reefs in Islamorada. The water was milky but calm , stirred up from the week of high winds . On the first drift we hooked the first monster on one of the lighter rods with a 20 pound leader . After a nearly 20 min battle we were finally gaining back line . Finally we made it to the weight and I Began carefully hand lining the fish to the boat . Finally after we got the gaff in angler and Captain both let put a sigh of relief followed by the crack of several high fives between all aboard the Papa Jack 4 ! Best part is second drop we boated a second pompano shortly after . This time rigged a bit heavier ! Between the multiple cold fronts and north to North west winds . It has made for perfect condition for targeting shallow water mutton's . We have had several double digit keeper mutton trips and even seeing a few over 20 pounds . Additionally having shots at everything from red grouper , Goliath grouper , lane snapper , and mackerel in between mutton's bites. Keeping the box full of variety and keeping anglers rods bent. We also had a few gulf trips later in the month in beautiful calm seas . Where the Spanish mackerel run has kept drags screaming and everyone with a perm-a grin ! In addition to jumbo mangroves , and even some Cobia opportunities. Over all the new year has been full of great action and many memories made aboard the Papa Jack 4. We looked forward to seeing what the rest of this winter season has to offer !

Cold front temperatures are from the high 70s to low 60s but on the temperature up side fish are feeding hard from adult size tarpon to large snook considering temperatures in the rest of the country Florida Keys are a great escape.

Epic Start to 2025 Deep-Sea Fishing in Fort Lauderdale! What a wild start to 2025! Our bottom fishing on January 1st was nothing short of incredible. We pulled up some XL Vermilion Snappers—by far the biggest I’ve ever seen—along with a steady bite of groupers, which is rare off Fort Lauderdale. I’ve never seen the grouper bite so strong around here! The only downside? They went out of season at midnight on December 31st.

We pulled up some XL Vermilion Snappers—by far the biggest I’ve ever seen—along with a steady bite of groupers, which is rare off Fort Lauderdale. I’ve never seen the grouper bite so strong around here! The only downside? They went out of season at midnight on December 31st. But no worries—on January 2nd, the groupers were still biting like crazy, and even though we had to release them, the Vermilion snappers were still putting on a show. We had solid action for three days straight, releasing 13 groupers in total and making sure they went back to the bottom safe and sound. The weather has been phenomenal, with calm seas and temperatures in the mid-60s—perfect for fishing. We also caught some great-eating fish, adding to the fun. And with a cold front on the way, we’re excited—cold fronts often bring Sailfish through, and we’re ready for the action! Looking forward to more epic fishing days ahead.

    Kevin was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided easy step by step instruction instructions while fighting 2 - 5 foot lemon sharks in less than 1/2 hour before daylight faded. Both were unkooked boat side with great video and pictures. His boat is clean and organized making it safe and easy to move around the boat while battling a catch of a lifetime for 2 Wisconsinites. Thanks Kevin. See you soon.

    Trip: Backcountry Trip

    My dad and I were able to squeeze in on a charter with Captain Eric fairly last minute which was awesome! He got us both on some sea trout first thing in the morning, lined us up on some tarpon but before I was able to take any shots on the fly rod, we spooked a tarpon and in came the bull sharks. We buzzed over to a different flat where I had shots at both snook and redfish. I didn’t end up making any of my shots with the fly rod but this was also my first saltwater fly fishing experience as well as my first guided trip so it was all pretty new to me. I’m just stoked we were able to get out in the first place. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Captain Eric and I certainly wouldn’t turn down another opportunity to have him guide us! He’s quiet but very focused and knowledgeable about the marine life and was able to give me casting tips as well with the fly rods. Thank you again for squeezing us in Eric!
