    The backcountry basins are still very good with plenty of action and species to capture on artificial lures. Captain Justin has been hiding from the high winds on the leeward side of the island doing some high action bottom fishing. The local wrecks and channels have been producing plenty of great tasting fish including mangrove snapper , yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper ,yellow jacks and a few groupers. Live pilchards and pinfish are still the bait of Choice for the highest odds of productivity. The forecast for the next few days looks promising with calm winds and 75 degree temperatures. Looking forward on what’s to come on this weeks fishing charters.

    Despite recent heavy winds in Key West, inshore fishing has been exceptionally productive. Anglers are experiencing abundant catches of various snapper species, including mutton, lane, and yellowtail snappers. Additionally, there’s been plenty of action with sharks, barracudas, and mackerels, providing thrilling rod-bending experiences. The current weather in Key West features mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around 77°F. The forecast for the upcoming days indicates pleasant conditions, with highs in the low 80s°F and lows in the mid-70s Despite the windy conditions, inshore waters have remained fishable, allowing anglers to enjoy excellent fishing opportunities. The presence of various snapper species such as the highly sought after mutton snapper , we've also filled coolers with mangrove yellowtail and lane snappers as well along with sharks, barracudas, and mackerels, has contributed to the dynamic and rewarding fishing experiences in the area. For those planning to fish in the coming days, it’s advisable to monitor weather updates as winter time conditions here in the tropics do change frequently and are sporadic

Fishing report from Bobby B. in Marathon, Florida

    End of the Year brings great fishing on the Reefs, last of the Mahi and still Wahoo. Sailfish have already been caught in Marathon, so sight casting to Sailfish surfing the waves is always a Blast!! Great size Grey (Mangrove) Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper and Large Muttons are showing up on the Reefs and wrecks. Amberjack are always a great battle on medium gear and a bonus catch while on the wrecks. We've had some windy days mixed in throughout the week, so plan on a back-up day, just in case, for a chance at a better day on the water. Dates are filling up quickly for our 2025 Sailfish Season, so be sure to book early!!

    It's been a windy few weeks with multiple cold fronts pushing through. Which has gave way to some excellent patch reef fishing . Many keeper mutton's have moved shallow with some being caught over 18 pounds in less then 17 ft of water . Not to mention decent yellowtails , red grouper , lane snappers ,mackerels and more . On the inshore side bait has been thick giving way to many great opportunities for tarpon snook , and plus sized mangrove snappers . Plenty of action to be had !

Fishing report from Eric R. in Key Largo, Florida Book a trip with Captain Eric here.

    It's that time of year where the water cools and the reef fishing starts to heat up. Plenty of healthy mutton snapper in the shallows along with mangroves and the occasional grouper with some too big to stop before getting you back in the reef. Also the cooler water means Sailfish. Winter time sailfishing is one of the most sought after fisheries during the winter months with multiple hookups and releases being pretty consistent.
