Catch of the Day

Sailfish was our target species today! Conditions looked good and my 1st mate, Barbie always likes to catch Sailfish, as do I. They are one of the most exciting fish we see here in these waters. They never get boring and I always tell my customers that if you get on a...

One thing I like about my job is I have many repeat customers. Many days I’m fishing with friends, not customers. Yes, I’m getting paid, but I have gotten to know my repeat customers and I consider many to be friends. This week, I had a family from Upstate...

We had an easy half-day charter Today I had 2 folks who were on a Cruise ship that made a short Port of Call in Key West. They were not interested in taking any fish to eat. There wasn’t enough time to take it to a restaurant and they had no place to keep it on...

We had a much better day today! I had the same customers as I did yesterday. It was a tough day, but we caught enough fish to keep the folks happy. I went the wrong way to start the trip. That’s on me and we recovered and made a day of it, but I was looking to...

I went the wrong way today! As the Captain, I always ask what my customers want to catch. Depending on what has been going on the last few days, I will always make a suggestion too. Once we have decided on what to fish for, then I have to decide where to go. Sometimes...

We had an afternoon Sunset Trip on Sunday I have always been an advocate of leaving early for the best fishing. But there are times when leaving late is an advantage. When the blackfin tuna are around, they tend to bite early and late in the day. It’s not...

This was Day for the group I had on board today. They fished on Thursday and we caught 3 nice Black Fin Tuna and released a sailfish and lost another. Not a ton of bites but some quality fish and 3 nice Black Fin tuna actually is a lot of fish to take home. So after a...

We had another early departure today but with different results. We did well on the Black Fin Tuna the last few days and I was hoping to do well again. My charter was originally scheduled for noon to 6 pm, but because of the early tuna bite, I convinced my customers...

we had an early departure Today and we ended up with an Excellent 6-hour charter. It doesn’t always work, but sometimes if you can get out on the water just after Sunup this time of year, you can get in on a morning bite of Black Fin Tuna. That’s pretty...

Today was Day #2 for my Group We had a great day a few days ago. Our “target” species was Sailfish and we got one out of 2 to the boat.  So, today,  on Day #2,  we decided to go for more “action” and hopefully some ” Contntental Shelf...

The weather is still turning Offshore fishing is tough right now, but there are still a few good fish around. Business is still slow. We are only fishing 1-2 days a week, but hopefully, it will pick up after this week. This weekend is the start of Key West’s...

Todays customers were interested in a Family fun fishing trip I had a father and his 3 sons for a family fun fishing trip. They were not worried about getting dinner as much as his boys having fun. The offshore fishing has been a bit slow the last few weeks and on my...
