Lobster, Yellowtail Amberjack
Fall fishing has begun , bringing some great offshore , inshore , and near shore fishing opportunities! This is our favorite time of year . Wrecks fishing is starting to heat up with flag yellow tail, mutton's and more . Lobstering is definitely always i. The back of our minds when conditions are favorable and we had some decent luck between patch reef fishing . Offshore mahi are still around and we finally starting to see some larger sized schools of fish show up . Over all beginning of fall season has been solid and we look forward to seeing what the rest has to offer .

We had a little wind and rain but nothing too crazy. Missed 4 days of being on the water. Here is a little report and some recent pics from our 35' offshore..... This month was a real mixed bag on our 24’ trolling, bottom fishing, reefs, backcountry, and lobster territory. Bottom fishing in the shallow/ calm backcountry has produced some high quality mangrove, lane, and mutton snappers in large numbers. Some trips catching their allowed limits. No shortage of big 100lb + lemon sharks that you’ll need to race for your dinner. Nicer weather days we have fished on the patch reefs just south of Key West. Red grouper, yellowtail snapper, and a verity of types of mackerel. Even did a catch n cook woth spadefish (a first for me). If you have lobster on your mind, well so do we! Many of our shallow water honey holes have been picked clean this late in the season. 6hr + lobster trips gave us enough time to run 20+ miles to areas with less pressure and they are still housing some quality bugs.

Fishing report from Alberto J.
in Humacao, Puerto Rico
Fishing has been decent considering another summer of extremely warm waters Offshore Mahi have started to show up in decent numbers but most fish are smaller with a few decent fish here and there . Tuna has been consistent on the Humps , and deep dropping has been good when the sharks allow . Reef wreck The yellowtail night has been very good with several flags being boated just an about every trip we targeted them . Patch's reefs have produced great stacks of yellow Jack and cero mackerel an and decent mangrove snapper as well. The occasional African pompano has also been showing up on wrecks as well which is always a nice surprise All in all fishing continues to be relatively steady and we look forward to making more memories with our clients through the summer 🤙
Offshore the gags, mangos, red snapper are chewing. Hogfish are starting to bite. Inshore redfish, trout, and black drum are heating up.

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 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 .

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 .

The fishing has been good on the reef.
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
