Catch of the Day
Late season Dolphin
Oct. 23, 2022 The summer of 2022 was not a banner year for Dolphin. We caught some fish, but we had to earn most of them. This fall, for whatever reason has been better than usual. I'll take it. One thing I have learned fishing for the last 40 years is that you have...
Good Reef Action
Today we caught some live bait and fished the reef. We were looking for more eating fish than trophy fish. The yellowtail snapper and mutton snappers were cooperating and I'm sure a fantastic fish dinner was had by all!!
Little Guy….Big Fish
We had a tough decision to make on Saturday Key West was experiencing strong Southeast winds due to an approaching cold front. It makes my decision difficult because, while the wind was strong out of the South in the morning, I knew that the front was coming in and it...
Bad Day of Tuna Fishing
We have been fishing later in the day this week Most days leaving the dock mid-day and coming in at Sunset. We have been doing this because the Black Fin Tuna have been biting and they like to bite as the sun is going down. We have had 2 to 3 good days lately. It...
Sunset Tuna Fishing
Yesterday was a very tough day. I covered a lot of ground but quite frankly we did not catch much. There have been some Black Fin Tuna biting near sunset lately, So today, we decided to push our departure back to 1 pm and do a sunset Tuna fishing trip. It was a 6 hr...
Great Conditions to “Go Big”
Calm Seas, Blue Water, and some Eastbound current Today Great conditions to Big and try to catch a Wahoo. The customers I had today were "fishermen" They were willing to go for a big fish when the conditions were right. We did this about a week ago and it worked. We...
Great Reef Action
We had a 6 hr trip today and we had great reef action for the entire trip. My customers had fished with me before and, due to health reasons, didn't think they could handle anything too large like a Sailfish or Wahoo. So we opted for catching live bait on the reef and...
Lots of bites
We went big on the first day, these folks fished with me. It worked as we got a 35lb Wahoo. Today, they wanted more action. Our goal today was lots of bites.That is the nice thing about having multiple days with the same customer. You can try different things. The...
Half-Day Today
The Southbound had a half-day Charter Today My group wanted to catch fish for dinner as they were part of a bachelor party in town for a few days. It was only a half-day trip today so we didn't have a lot of time First of all, I congratulated them on being on time. It...
Go Big
It was a beautiful day Calm seas, Blue Water, light wind, and just past a full moon. When you put all those conditions together this time of year, it spells Wahoo fishing. These are the conditions you want and when I got to the boat in the morning I suggested to my...
Longtime Customers
one of the best parts of my job is the Longtime Customers or Regulars. If you treat people right, they will come back and after a while, you don’t feel like you are fishing with customers, you are fishing with friends. Today was one of those days. The folks I had...
Think Pink on the Reef
A strong Cold Front Pushed through Key West on Sunday and Monday. Sunday was a good day to watch Football, not go fishing. The winds were blowing close to 30mph out of the South in the morning and then switched to 25-30 out of the Northwest with torrential rain in the...
