Water color has been super green offshore, a few nice fish around but they are scare and scattered. We found some wahoo, mahi, and tuna in one trip, all solo. Reef has some big yellow tails but not big numbers.
Backcountry we are still finding some mangrove snapper and yellow jacks. No shortage of big sharks and cudas.

Reported 3 years ago
Lower keys flats fishing is still on fire, tarpon can be found on calmer mornings and a few straggler migrators can be found traveling. As the sun gets higher bonefish and permit can be found on any of the respective flats so long as the water doesnt get to hot. Unfortunately low pressure systems are more abundant this time of year which brings a lot of wind clouds and rain which makes it hard to see some of the fish on the flats.

    Trip: Summerland Key Tarpon Fishing

    Captain Joel (and first mate Sean) were great! They were warm and welcoming right off the bat! With their help, we caught tuna and mahi and had a great time. We were out in some rough waters and Captain Joel made us all feel at ease with his calm demeanor and skilled driving. Appreciated them preparing all our catch into fillets and steaks. Awesome time!

    Trip: Half-Day Tarpon Trip (Seasonal)

  • ★★★★★
    We booked a fishing charter for my husband 60th birthday, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! Kevin and Max were absolutely awesome! Friendly knowledgeable, professional and committed to making sure everyone had a great time. They put us on the fish and we wound up catching a barracuda and a tuna, which made the day that much more exciting. The best part was bringing our fresh tuna to Kaya restaurant where they prepared it three different ways. It was an incredible experience from start to finish. If you are considering a fishing charter, we highly recommend Captain Experiences and especially Kevin and Max. Thank you for making my husband 60th birthday so special. Looking forward to doing this again!
