The mahi are still around, and we’re starting to see the tunas and sailfish roll in as the season picks up. Wahoo bites have been solid, giving anglers plenty of action offshore.

Inshore fishing is heating up as the water temperature cools down. Patch reef bite has been great with lost of varieties to catch. Yellowtail Snapper/ Mangrove Snapper/ Lane Snapper/ Mutton Snappper/ Groupers/ Mackerel are all regularly available. Also Offshore is good too with plus size Mahi around , Sailfish, Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna are great targets too!

Lots of options and availability this month! We catching fish inshore & offshore also doing lobstering before the water gets colder. Grand Slam offshore this week mahi/wahoo/tuna with options to troll and live-bait for them. If that's not what you like and just want to stay inshore on shallow reefs/wrecks & channels and catch snapper/jacks/tarpon/sharks and the list goes on. Find your trip today and experience paradise!

Offshore there has been lots of mahi caught on anything we can find floating, bamboo, coolers, weed lines, etc. a few tuna have been caught. Inshore is the usual suspects. Snapper, jacks, sharks, and cudas. The big 18"+ mangrove snapper have returned from the spawn at the reef and are back the shallows and hungry!

Deep drop actions been the game recently, while mahi fishing south of the dry Tortugas we are stopping and doing some grocery shopping for large snowy grouper, tile fish, and other exotic deep water species! We also got us a big bonus Warsaw grouper.

    Trip: Key Largo Reef And Offshore

    Had a great day with Captain Dan and first mate. We pomptly set off and had a fantastic time pulling in a Mahi and half a dozen tuna. The trip was as much as we hoped for…good weather, great crew, and some fish to be cooked at a local restaurant. Highly recommend this charter and will definitely be booking again for some other fishing if/when we make it back to the Keys. Thanks Dan and Pete!

    Trip: Snorkel & Fish Combo

  • ★★★★★
    This was honestly one of the most disappointing charters I’ve had. I’ve booked numerous charters all over and in the keys. I realize fishing is fishing but we were greeted by a captain other than Dan, great guy but not what I expected honestly. Our vessel wasn’t prepared and ready to go so we waited longer than was expected and it pushed other plans back even further. We caught one 12.5 inch yellow that was big enough to keep. On other charters the boat is quite well prepared and ready to change course quickly to get you on the fish, not the case, granted it was a shorter booking I’ve still had much better equipped captains and vessels. So to spend the day bobbing for non existent apples was not at all ideal. It was so boring my wife and son chose to nap. So just be aware that if you choose this charter it may not go at all to plan. Sadly it was a waste of precious vacation time. I typically hate reading negative reviews and have never personally left one, but this seemed appropriate given the outcome. Good luck.

    Captain Dan and Ryan were fantastic. The ocean was pretty rough that day but they helped us have a great time and pull in quite a few fish. We’ll be back again next year and will definitely look to hire them again!

    We had a great day on the water with Captain Jim. He is incredibly knowledgeable about fishing in the keys. We would definitely rebook a charter with him.
