Let's go! The fishing has been pretty good, and the weather is looking great for this week.
Offshore we have had large sargassum weed lines and the mahi have arrived! Early morning, and sunset have also produced some quality blackfin tuna.
The inshore bite has been on fire. Some really
nice mutton snappers, mangrove, and yellowtails on the patch reefs and inside the islands. The AM and sunset tarpon bite has been pretty active. Lane snapper population is slowly fading as the water warms up.
On our Dry Tortugas trips we have been catching a ton of species. Last weeks day trip had a laundry list;
Mahi, tuna, mackerels, bonitos offshore. Then we got to the reef for muttons, yellowtails, and mangroves snappers. Once at the park, our guests walked the beach of Garden Key and caught and released some bonefish and tarpon. Also, hand feeding a 300lb Goliath grouper at the dock was a memorable experience.

The past few days have delivered picture-perfect conditions—calm seas, warm temps, and crystal-clear water—and the tarpon fishing has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Key West is loaded with migratory tarpon right now, with hundreds of fish staged throughout the backcountry in their annual spring pattern. Over the last three days,
we’ve experienced our best bite of the season, hooking a dozen or more fish per day.
These fish range from 15 to 150 pounds, with a solid average around 60 lbs—plenty of shots at true trophies mixed in with steady action.
Even better, the bite has been aggressive across the board. Whether you’re fishing with live bait or artificials, the tarpon are feeding hard and giving anglers incredible opportunities.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time—this is it.

What's Biting in Yellowstone River

    Sam and crew were very professional and diligent in trying to locate fish. Unfortunately due to rough seas in the days immediately preceding our excursion the wish were not biting. We went back in via the reef and picked up six yellow tail (skipjack) which made for good eating (bang-bang style) that evening. Would charter with Mark and team again.

    Trip: Key West Deep Sea Run - 40' Luhrs

  • ★★★★★
    We took our team out with Hunter for a combo lobstering and deep sea trip and he didn't let us down! First and foremost, Hunter is an ex-marine who is incredibly on top of his equipment, his boat, and his safety and was very clear about expectations for the day and what we should be doing at any point in time. After a quick scuba diving refresher & safety brief we put on our gear for a dive and were rewarded with a number of keeper lobsters, a bigger number of lobsters that were too small to keep, a lionfish which we speared, and too many great wildlife sightings to count including a big loggerhead turtle, a black grouper, and a nurse shark hoping for a handout. After the dive we put our gear away we drove a few miles further out to catch some yellowtail snapper. We started slow, but pretty soon were reeling in a yellowtail almost every cast. We probably caught 20-25 within a few hours, as well as a small yellow jack, a parrotfish, and an undersized red grouper. Lastly, we decided to use the last hour of our trip to try to hook into a big black grouper using some of our yellowtail as bait. This was a bit of a "go big or go home" bet and unfortunately didn't pay off for us this time - I wish we'd had a bit more time to drift and I'm sure we would have hooked one. Overall can't speak highly enough of Hunter and the experience diving and fishing in the Keys. There is such a variety of things to do that even on a full day trip you will never feel bored and can always pivot to something else. We even chased a frigate bird and threw some bucktails in the middle of the day at some bait that was busting. You won't go wrong booking a trip with Hunter.

    I can only highly recommend Hunter - we booked a spearfishing trip out West and had an absolutely great time. Hunter knew the area inside out, is a great captain with lots of experience, had high quality gear, and we saw (and shot) a lot of fish, mostly grouper. Highly recommend and will be back!
