June The summer bite is on fire! Offshore trips are producing solid numbers of mahi, with blackfin tuna and grouper also in the mix. Snapper action remains strong on the reefs. Inshore, tarpon are still active during summer nights, and we’re seeing good bites from trout, snook, and the occasional jack. Both offshore and inshore trips are producing great action—now’s a prime time to get on the water!

Grouper season just started which is a nice bonus as well be fishing for yellowtail snapper, both are amazing table fare. If your interested in offshore fishing mahi and start to really be plentiful on the weed lines and floating debris with the bonus wahoo or sailfish. Also this month is the start of snapper spawning and mutton snapper, mangrove snapper and yellowtail snapper will be aggregating to spawn on the reefs and bring a lot of action aggressively biting. Options and endless come make some memories this summer!

Sailfish and mahi-mahi have been showing up consistently; live baiting and trolling have been working very effectively; no need to head too far offshore. All these fish are on the reef or no further than the 50 line. Use fresh baits. Book a three-quarter day trip to give your crew enough time to put you on a fish of a lifetime. Springtime is here, big smoker. Kingfish should be showing up soon, and don't forget, folks, summer is here.

It's been a lot of lobsters, hook-n-cook muttons and Lanes, and a nice Palometta. Wreck fishing and the tuna are holding steady in March.

Full moon has been producing really nice wahoo. We also been getting some nice golden tiles when the current is right and the wind is blowing from the north. It's perfect conditions. The fishing is heating up as spring time approaches.

Peacock Bass spawn is going on right now. We are getting them on the beds. Also, we have gotten two double-digit largemouth bass weighing in over 10 pounds in the last two months, and the iguanas are everywhere. Needless to say. Offshore bike has been very consistent, catching sales Kings Bonita and some big grouper on the bottom rod. We are ending prime time for sale fish, and starting mahi season.

Fishing has been on fire, catching a variety of species from inshore to offshore, bridges to the reef. The fish are hungry and waiting for you to come book a trip and get in on the action. Plenty of action and excitement for adults and kids alike. We welcome families, bachelor parties, or even just a single person looking to have some fun and bend the rod. Let's get in on the action!

    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.
