Fishing has been really good on Galveston Bay lately with lots of redfish, black drum and trout coming in the boat! The bull red run is in full swing and should remain that way through most of November.

Fall Fishing is my absolute favorite time of year here in the Upper Keys. Fishing is very productive from the Everglades to the flats of Islamorada as we have beautiful sunny 75 degree bluebird days.

With the dropping water temperatures a variety species have become very active and bait is everywhere! From trout and flounder to mackerel and snook all have the feed bags on. Don't miss out on the fall bite!

Gag grouper and red snapper seasons were amazing! We look forward to focusing on amberjack, red grouper, triggerfish, almaco jacks, and vermillion. Also hope to see the blackfin tuna showing up in the next couple weeks!

Blue water is in close right now. Bite seems to be better in the afternoon right now than in the morning, but we've been catching them. Bottom fishing has been great and so has blue water trolling. A lot of shark activity so we're having to get them to the...

Trip: 4-6 Hr Inshore Trip
★★★★★
My wife and I and 13 year old son went on a six hour spearfishing tour with Torre and it was by far the highlight of our trip to the Keys. We ended up with a fridge full of lobster, snapper, cero mackerel and yellow jack and we turned it into sashimi, ceviche, lobster macaroni and beer battered fish. We saw hammerheads, goliath groupers and sea turtles. My wife and I had never spear fished before but we had a great time; much better than fishing. Torre was an amazing guide and clearly knew where to go and what to look for. Next time we’re in the Keys, this will be our first stop.
