Half-Day Today

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...

Calm Seas, Sunny skies and Good Action today

Split charter today
I had a split charter today Most of the time, I don’t do many of them. A split charter is where you sign on by the person and we find others to share the boat with you. If you only have a limited budget or one or two people, it is an appreciable saving. But if...
Sunset Bite
The Southbound had a late afternoon trip today. From 2 pm until 6 pm. My customers did not want to fish the reef. they wanted bigger fish. Specifically, they wanted a fish bigger than they could catch in Lake Erie. On a late trip such as this, I thought our best bet...
Another Good Day!
It was another good day on the Southbound today We had a 6 hr trip today. My anglers wanted to make sure they had enough fish to take back to feed the others in their group. For that reason, I opted to go to the reef and get live bait again. We have been doing a lot...
