A fun 4 hour morning reef trip today. We got throw back groupers (2 Short Reds and a protected Nassau) some delicious yellow jacks. This Angler got to fight some sharks too. The water was 1-2ft waves and we fished between 15ft and 80ft of water

Mahi has been good anywhere from 500 to 1000 ft off key largo. Fish have been 15 to 20 lbs with plenty of schoolies in the mix. Trolling feathers pink and blue tipped with bonita strips. Small blackfin on tuna flies trolled behind the spread.

Have you ever caught big fish on a small rod, try slow pitching jigging on some of our wrecks in Key West!

As the storms pass by us the winds have calmed and the seas are coming alive with an abundance of fish.
The Black-fin Tuna have moved into town and the bite has been red hot! Catching most fish by early morning with most bites at first light.
Snook season is here and we are seeing tons of Snook across the shallow flats and along several mangrove islands.
The month is looking very calm and filled with opportunities to catch some real nice fish!

    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.
