The Black-fin Tuna have moved into town and the bite has been red hot! Catching most fish by early morning with most bites at first light.
Snook season is here and we are seeing tons of Snook across the shallow flats and along several mangrove islands.
The month is looking very calm and filled with opportunities to catch some real nice fish!

4hr trip out of Key Largo. We fished the reefs and had a lot of action. Calm waters with an east wind made this trip fun for everyone.
