ood stuff happening down here in Key West. We are between seasons here. On the warmer days we catch Sailfish, blackfin tuna and Mahi Mahi. On the cooler days it’s mackerel , kingfish, sailfish and Wahoo. As you can see when the weather is in between like it was today, we have a chance of catching all of it. Let’s go dry a few off

A great day aboard. The little migratory fish are here on the reef in Marathon Fl. The fish are little guys but a lot of fun. At one time we had over 12 fish behind the boat, an incredible sight. They are up on the reef in 20 to 30' of water pushing bait- mostly ballyhoo. To see this happen is amazing even to me doing it for 40 years. What a great time for my customers and crew. Also the bottom bite is off the scale. Yellow tail snapper, mutton snapper, king fish, and many other species. Time to...

Don't forget the sailfish are all catch and release but as much dinner as you want otherwise!

Cero and Spanish mackerel bite has been great on the reef and in the nearshore channels.
Mangrove and yellow tail bite has stayed consistent.
Lane snapper have been on fire but FWC apparently knows that and have put an emergency closure on lane snapper in state gulf water. This is not updated/ reflected on fish rules app. So there has been a lot of confusion and frustration surround the species and legalities.
Offshore there are still a few mahi being caught, wahoo bite is great, or just more guys targeting/ posting them. Tuna (blackfin) have started showing up.
Live bait...

is plentiful on the beaches and lots of guys throwing the net. Sabikis on markers have also been filling the livewell.

Hey David! We had some wind come in yesterday afternoon/today which clouded up the shallow patch reefs and made for some good fishing today. Water temp has dropped off to 78 degrees and we are starting to see a lot of our winter migratory fish!

    I’ve been on many charter fishing trips in my life, but Bryan is hands down my favorite guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows these waters inside and out. The highlight of the trip was catching a monstrous 300-400lb shark—an experience I will never forget, and one that wouldn't have happened without the Captain’s expertise and help. Beyond the fishing, Bryan is just a fun, personable guy to hang out with. I really appreciated his coaching style; he taught us exactly what to do and then stepped back to let us actually fish, only jumping in with pointers when needed. I can’t recommend him enough and will definitely be back for another trip!

    Our captain was Steve. Knew the area, put us on fish and helped everyone to have a good time. Helped us clean the catch. An occasional smile wouldn't hurt, but that's beside the point.
