Fishing report from Conan Y. in Islamorada, Florida

Fishing report from Brad B. in Port Aransas, Texas

    Tuna just now showing up, but it's still hard to predict, same as sails and dorado, we focus on the amberjack, and other target species that are still in season, such as swordfish, and Mangrove, vermillion snapper, always hope for the fish of a lifetime! Looking to book for some overnight trips for yellowfin and marlin 100+ miles offshore.

    The amberjack bite has been on fire as well as Almaco Jacks, Triggerfish are running small so hooking up with a keeper trigger has been a chore! Plenty of Vermillion snapper and Porgy's around though. Trolling has been hit or miss, depending on the current some days we catch 6 and some days they aren't hitting! The blackfin are on the move as the water temp starts to drop they are moving closer inside of state waters! King mackerel have been the main ones we have been hooking up with on the shotgun trolling! Red snapper are everywhere but out of season for us!

Fishing report from Justin F. in Key West, Florida Book a trip with Captain Justin here.

    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.

Fishing report from Charlie S. in Jupiter, Florida

    Offshore there are mahi in 400 to 800 ft. Inside 4 mile on the ledge, kingfish and a variety of snappers are around. Tarpon, snook, Jack and sharks following the mullet schools on the beach.

    With the weather cooperating, calm seas have afforded most of us to run offshore to target swordfish, blackfin tunas, and Mahi-mahi. We are still getting many Mahi Mahi biting in between 600-1,000 feet of water. It used to be that Mahi Mahi season peaked in Spring / Summer months but as of recently, the larger Mahi have been biting great into September. Now that the full moon is waning there have been an ideal scene for inshore fishing, reef, wreck, and Cubera Snapper fishing at night. The Yellowtail / Mangrove snapper bite has been consistent on the reefs between 45- 90 feet of water as long as the current is flowing. The smaller football Blackfin tuna are also showing up in 150 - 300' of water following the early fall bait run that has appeared with ballyhoo, finger mullets, and pilchards, thick on the outer reefs with plenty of hungry pelagics on the prowl! They all can be caught drift fishing live bait or trolling small feathers rigs. If you’re looking to get out on the water for a great time fishing or just need information / tips, please feel free to book or contact me or any of our great charter captains located here in the Florida Keys. We are all willing to help & truly love to share our knowledge of this amazing Keys fishery. Until the next fishing report, tight lines & bent rods!

    This week the Triggerfish bite has been slow! Trolling has produced Bonita and some small wahoo! We have been able to locate the Mahi several times for a good solid bite! A few triple tail keepers have made it to the ice, as well as a few Almaco Jacks

    Summertime dolphin (mahi mahi) has been hit or miss this year, but we just had one of the best days of dolphin fishing in 5 years. There are some nice fish still out there and we are coming home with plenty of meat for the freezers. In late September and early October we have another good run of nice dolphin coming back through. Swordfishing in September and October is usually amazing! Usually bigger better fish with multiple shots.
