Patch reef fishing has been great and will just get better as the winter time fronts keep pushing down. Plenty of action with a large variety of fish. Snapper, and grouper are the targets but there are plenty more mixed in. Last trip we got some nice mutton snapper and some grouper.

Swordfishing between the cold fronts on a calm day are very productive. Last trip we caught 4 out of 6 bites. Some big ones around and one of my favorite fish to eat. They call them the gladiator of the sea for a reason! Fish on average weighing in at around 200 lbs. so make sure to bring a big cooler for your fillets.

Calm seas have left us with great opportunities on the reef , wrecks and off shore . The yellowtail Vite had been pretty good with several flags caught along with some other species like trigger fish , cero mackerel and our favorite yellow Jack .
Off shore mahi has been hit or miss but when we hit we managed multiple keeper fish and occasional heavy lifter and gaffers . Tunas have been active at the humps in addition to some great amber Jack bites . Overall it has been a great summer so far and it's only getting better .

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.

Offshore has been hit or miss with mahi with a few good fish here and there . Finding some some nicer size triple tails on floaters occasionally . Tuna bite continues to be pretty consistent with some bigger fish coming up for live bait . Deep dropping for vermillion and yellow eye has been decent as well
Shallow patches and wrecks have been on fire with yellow jacks . We had to mercy rule a few schools with multiple 10 pound plus fish being caught as well . Flag yellowtail have been finicky but managed some great bites on live...

Shallow patches and wrecks have been on fire with yellow jacks . We had to mercy rule a few schools with multiple 10 pound plus fish being caught as well . Flag yellowtail have been finicky but managed some great bites on live bait drifting around wrecks .
Overall fishing has been solid especially with the return of large schools of pilchards making their way back to the Channels .
