Catch of the Day

Late Black Fin Tuna Bite We have tried a couple of times over the last few weeks to leave late and stay out late to try and take advantage of the Black Fin Tuna. The Black Fins tend to bite first thing in the morning and than again just before sunset. In Key West,...

King Mackerel and Cero Mackerel We had a short trip today, but we managed to catch some nice fish. Fishing on and along the Reef we put together a catch of some nice Mackerel. We got two big King Mackerel, or Kingfish as they are called locally. Kingfish strike hard...

Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico The wind was out of the South so the Gulf of Mexico was the calmer waters today. For that reason, we went to some of the Shoals close to the Northwest channel. The Northwest Channel is the main access to the Gulf of Mexico from Key West....

Photos from October 2020 As anyone that has visited my site on a regular basis has realized by now, I’ve been, shall we say, a bit neglectful about posting pictures. We’ve been fishing a lot, thankfully. Key West has been busy since the Roadblock came down...

For those that are wondering if they should continue with planned vacations in Key West and for those that are considering making plans to visit Key West: Yes, we are open! The bars have reclosed, they were open for June, but now they can only serve alcohol for...

The last few days, we’ve caught more Tuna than Dolphin but then it’s been a weird year! I guess we all know that at this point. Aside from everyone’s life being turned upside down, the fishing has been “off” too. We have not seen very...

Most of the anglers I had on the boat today were not “experienced” offshore fishermen. The patience sometimes required can be boring to new anglers. So when I get a group like this, I usually suggest we start out just looking for “bites” and...

There is a tropical depression down off the Yucatan Penninsula that is causing a lot of tropical moisture through our area. Yesterday, the rain was torrential at times. Today, it was a heavy overcast with rain squalls all around. The ride heading offshore was very...
