Southbound
Catch of the Day

The Wind was back out of the North Today, so we were back to fishing on the South Side of Key West. Considered the Atlantic or Carribean as opposed to the Gulf Of Mexico. We’ve been fishing the Gulf Of Mexico for the last few days. But when the wind blows out of...

The wind was picking up out of the south today. Because of this,  my customers opted for calmer seas and fishing for action in the Gulf of Mexico. The action was pretty good We lost a good king mackerel about 10 ft behind the boat, but we made up for it later by...

We only had a half day today. Because the action was so good yesterday we went back to the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, the results were not as good as yesterday. That’s the way fishing has been lately. The only thing that has been consistent about the fishing...

The wind was out of the South East today. So we decided that we would try fishing the Gulf of Mexico. The water would be calmer and the trolling on the Atlantic side hasn’t been red hot. It was a good decision. We had two trips and we went in the Gulf of Mexico...

Fished a full day today, The offshore trolling has been tough, so we went back to fishing for Yellowtails on the Reef again today. My customers had a fantastic fish dinner after the first day and wanted more. The conditions were a little better today too Yesterday the...

We were on the reef fishing for Yellowtail Snappers for most of the day today. Conditions were not the best. The water was clear enough to see down to the bottom in 40 ft of water. Normally, fishing for Yellowtails is better when the water has less visibility. In the...

We caught some Barracudas and a nice Mutton Snapper trolling the reef. We released a nice Black Grouper. It would have been legal if the season wasn’t closed, but that’s not until May 1st, so back it went Then we heard there were some dolphin being caught...

The Southbound had two fishing trips today. We were Reef fishing on both trips. In the morning, it was still blowing a little bit, so we went east to get a little protection from the wind. We anchored behind a couple of reefs that form a pocket that blocks a North...

Some days it’s not what you catch, It’s where you fish and how much fun your customers have. Today, it was all about keeping it calm. We had 3 adorable little girls out on their first fishing trip. Unfortunately, we had a cold front come through the Keys...

Beautiful day for fishing offshore Today was one of those days in Key West fishing was so nice being out there, I (almost) felt guilty getting paid. We had to go a long way to find fish We put our lines in about 16 miles south of Key West. That’s about 750 ft of...

Just a half day Reef fishing trip today Today we went reef fishing for Yellow Tail Snapper and got a couple of nice Cero Mackerel too. The Snappers started out biting very well, but once again the “Tax Man” Showed up, (sharks). Normally, that tends to make...

This is one of the reasons I like to leave early. Usually, I’m one of the first boats off the dock. I like being out there ahead of most of the fleet. I think it gives us a head start or an advantage sometimes. Another reason I like to leave early, Usually just...
