End of the Year brings great fishing on the Reefs, last of the Mahi and still Wahoo. Sailfish have already been caught in Marathon, so sight casting to Sailfish surfing the waves is always a Blast!! Great size Grey (Mangrove) Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper and Large Muttons are showing up on the Reefs and wrecks. Amberjack are always a great battle on medium gear and a bonus catch while on the wrecks. We've had some windy days mixed in throughout the week, so plan on a back-up day, just in case, for a chance at a better day on the water. Dates are filling up quickly for our 2025 Sailfish Season, so be sure to book early!!

It's been a windy few weeks with multiple cold fronts pushing through. Which has gave way to some excellent patch reef fishing . Many keeper mutton's have moved shallow with some being caught over 18 pounds in less then 17 ft of water . Not to mention decent yellowtails ,...

It's been a windy few weeks with multiple cold fronts pushing through. Which has gave way to some excellent patch reef fishing . Many keeper mutton's have moved shallow with some being caught over 18 pounds in less then 17 ft of water . Not to mention decent yellowtails , red grouper , lane snappers ,mackerels and more . On the inshore side bait has been thick giving way to many great opportunities for tarpon snook , and plus sized mangrove snappers . Plenty of action to be had !

It's that time of year where the water cools and the reef fishing starts to heat up. Plenty of healthy mutton snapper in the shallows along with mangroves and the occasional grouper with some too big to stop before getting you back in the reef. Also the cooler water means Sailfish. Winter time sailfishing is one of the most sought after fisheries during the winter months with multiple hookups and releases being pretty consistent.
