    February 2025 The offshore bite around Key West is absolutely red hot right now, with blackfin tuna and cobia stealing the show! Blackfin Tuna Frenzy The blackfin tuna action has been nothing short of spectacular. Schools of these torpedoes are stacking up along the edge of the reef and in deeper blue water, particularly around the humps and wrecks. Anglers live baiting with pilchards, threadfin herring, and small blue runners on light tackle are experiencing non-stop action. The key has been to chum heavy with live baits, creating a slick that pulls them right up to the boat. Once they’re fired up, it’s game on! Fish in the 15–25 lb range are common, with some larger bruisers mixed in. Light fluorocarbon leaders (20-30 lb) and small circle hooks are doing the trick, providing an epic fight that tests every inch of your gear. Cobia Crash the Party While targeting tuna, surprise visits from cobia have added to the excitement. These fish are cruising the same wrecks and structure, often trailing behind rays, sharks, and even alongside the tuna schools. They’re aggressive right now, smashing live baits like pinfish and pilchards without hesitation. Anglers are reporting cobia in the 20–40 lb class, with some true Key West giants pushing beyond that. Keep a pitch rod ready with a live bait hooked up because these fish often appear out of nowhere, especially when you’re chumming heavily. Tips for Success: • Chum Heavy: Live chumming with pilchards keeps both tuna and cobia around the boat.

    Fishing the bay for giant sheep head is now on! Fast action white trout especially for the kids is doing very well this winter too. Some pompano and Spanish mackerel are being caught fishing for white trout. Gulf fishing for flounder and fast fun light tackle reef fish like speckled rock hind, scamp grouper, and vermillion snapper on calm seas days is "the easy button". Red grouper is now open and there's good ones to be kept especially on a five or six hour trip getting down the beach on some good natural rock bottom reefs.

    from Christmas to New Year's to Pompano bite ahead of the cold fronts was on fire morning and afternoon was able to yield Pompano. Redfish were mixing there as well. Most of them were slot redfish. We were catching one to two a day. Black drum or also cruising the beaches ahead of the cold front, we were using Shrimp to get bite on those

    Happy Thanksgiving. As we celebrate the bounty of the fall, the weather is turning colder. The response by mother nature is to add a layer of fat. So the bite is on fire, the places are deeper holes and channel edges with decent flow. My favorite baits this time of year are soft plastics on a jighead or shrimp on a jighead. We have plenty of dates available, if weather permits red snapper are in fairly close.

    Trout bite The trout are moving around on the flats in 2ft to 4ft of water and there are a few out in the 8ft to 9ft of water still. Use a popping cork for the trout on the flats with a 1/4oz or 1/8oz Jighead with a shrimp or artificial and use a MirrOdine XL to trigger them big trout to bite. When you are fishing them deeper trout use a 1/4oz Jighead with a shrimp or artificial lure.
