The sunset blackfin tuna bite continues to be fun. The best action is happening on the 4 Inch blue/white williamson dolphin catchers. Set them way back in the pattern. They have been in the 250-300 foot depth to start and move shallower as it gets darker. They bite right up to sunset, then the bite dies off.

Water color has been super green offshore, a few nice fish around but they are scare and scattered. We found some wahoo, mahi, and tuna in one trip, all solo. Reef has some big yellow tails but not big numbers.
Backcountry we are still finding some mangrove snapper and yellow jacks. No shortage of big sharks and cudas.

The tarpon have been starting to be a little harder to find but we've still been getting on them. Yellowjacks and snappers have been on the menu for lunch!

Lower keys flats fishing is still on fire, tarpon can be found on calmer mornings and a few straggler migrators can be found traveling. As the sun gets higher bonefish and permit can be found on any of the respective flats so long as the water doesnt get to hot. Unfortunately low pressure systems are more abundant this time of year which brings a lot of wind clouds and rain which makes it hard to see some of the fish on the flats.

    Trip: Key West Mixed Bag Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Our Charter Boat Captain Antonio was very knowledgeable and professional regarding his handling of the boat and setting up our group on fish. It was 4-hour charter that went by fast. Once we settled into an area where we could catch fish, Antonio worked to keep us catching, and provided excellent guidance as each fish was landed. His patience was appreciated as I had my daughters on this adventure and it there first time on a fishing charter boat. I highly recommend Antonio if you are looking for professional boat captain that is young and eager to ensure that you get the best experience possible for the money!
