Catch of the Day

Today we didn’t have one main species of fish we were catching. Instead, we had a mixed bag of great fishing. We missed a couple of Wahoos yesterday inshore so I decided to start in that same area today. I’m glad I did! We were only trolling for a few...

We had a full day trip today. My group was a Bachelor party most of whom were from Louisana. I needed action and some good eating fish for the group and possibly a trophy fish. Some days, things just work out right and today was one of those days. I figured I would...

We had a mixed bag of fish today. No one species of fish were really biting. Some days are like that. You may want to target a particular kind of fish, but if it’s not biting, you have to start looking for other species to keep people busy. We had hoped to fish...

In my last post, I mentioned the conditions were getting “right” and I expected the fishing to “bust loose” soon. We are coming up on a full moon and this time of year that means the Wahoo should be biting. Well, believe it or not, I was Right!...

Fishing is not “red hot” right now, but I have to think it is going to get better. Conditions are shaping up the way they should this time of year. We haven’t had a “cold” front yet, but it is cooling off. Both the air and the water are...

  October is the month when the weather usually starts to change from our normal summer weather of hot and humid to cooler and dryer. Normally it’s in the 90’with 90% humidity in the summer. Hopefully, soon we will see the wind switch from southerly...

We had a full day trip today. Our target species was Dolphin and it was good fishing today. I know most of the best fishing has been out deep lately. 750 ft of water or deeper. I figured if we were going for Dolphin there was no need to spend time inshore looking for...

Still catching some decent fish offshore of Key West. The Sargassum weed we had to deal with and complain about through the spring and early part of the summer is gone. Just a few scraps around. Without the weedlines to fish, we have to look for other indications of...

Fishing is still worth the effort. I won’t say it’s red hot, but we are still catching some dolphin as the summer comes to an end. Most of the fish are out deep. Usually in 700-800 ft of water. It’s tough to get there in a half-day, but if you have a...

One thing about the weather this time of year, Usually it’s calm and sunny. The fishing can be up and down like any fishing can, but most people really appreciate the beauty of being on the ocean when the weather is beautiful and the seas are calm and the water...

For most of the last 5 months or so, we have been inundated with a large amount of Sargassum weed floating in the waters off Key West, Flordia. Some days it was just scattered out. Some days it was in nice lines, and some days it was in big huge patches. It would...

We had a full day trip today and I was glad we did because the boats that caught fish yesterday had to go about 10 miles past the “Wall”. I had a nice couple and their two young sons. I was concerned the boys might get bored offshore. Sometimes that kind...
