We’ve been putting some serious fish on deck lately — cobia, mangrove snapper, gag grouper, and red grouper have all been chewing.

We’re mixing it up and staying on the bite, using live bait, cut bait, shrimp, and throwing jigs, depending on what the fish want. And it hasn’t mattered whether we’re fishing daytime or after dark — the action has been steady.

Fishing the beautiful waters of key west

It's always an experience getting down here to key west to do some fishing and diving, and this year has not disappointed. I would have to say the theme is less people more lobsters. We are into our regular lobster season now catching our limit. Every single day conditions have been so beautiful.

We ran out to 1860 feet of water this past Tuesday landed right in a school of beautiful mahi. After we had our way with them trolling, we busted out the top water plugs and we're catching 10 to 15...

Fishing the beautiful waters of key west

It's always an experience getting down here to key west to do some fishing and diving, and this year has not disappointed. I would have to say the theme is less people more lobsters. We are into our regular lobster season now catching our limit. Every single day conditions have been so beautiful.

We ran out to 1860 feet of water this past Tuesday landed right in a school of beautiful mahi. After we had our way with them trolling, we busted out the top water plugs and we're catching 10 to 15
pound fish on topwater.

The following day we decided to get into some 1000 foot deep bottom fishing. The golden tiles were on it along with some beautiful snowy grouper.

We're going to be here for a few more weeks so come see what this beautiful paradise has got to offer. The water is so clear if you look, you're going to see something beautiful.
Get your trips booked with Captain Experiences and we will definitely bow some RODZ and get you underwater for a amazing experience tight lines for now Captain Phil

Snook, trout and redfish are all in the mix right now with some larger fish mixed in.Healthy snook and redfish a being pulled out from under the mangrove tree lines. Live scaled sardines and pinfish have been the bait of choice! If you're looking for table fair you can't beat the mangrove snapper that are also feeding on scaled sardines and shrimp.

As things change to our Midsomer patterns. It’s all about the availability of the bait. That drives the fish bite. When we get the strong outgoing tides near the new and full moon, pass crabs are flushing out of Tampa Bay in big numbers. This is one of our favorite scenarios to catch Tarpon. It concentrates the fish and they are focused on those little crabs.
Also, the second hatch of sardines has exploded, and the flats are covered. The small Bait are exactly what the mangrove snapper are looking for solid catches of snapper daily now. We are still...

Also, the second hatch of sardines has exploded, and the flats are covered. The small Bait are exactly what the mangrove snapper are looking for solid catches of snapper daily now. We are still
seeing our share of Snook. And redfish the over slot speckled trout have moved out to the edge of the grass flats and have been super cooperative anytime the tide is moving.
