Spring into Summer!
Spring into Summer!
Mei 25, 2023 Stock Island
As we move into the sunny summer weather that the Keys are famous for, we enjoy some of the best fishing of the entire year. The wind has started to lay down, making longer runs to often inaccessible areas possible. Many species migrate back-and-forth to their spawning areas, making concentrations of large specimens easier to find. Grouper season has opened. They are a great tasting, violent fighting fish, with an insatiable appetite. Another fish that never stop eating has started to arrive. Mahi-Mahi, also known as dolphin (fish, not the mammal) are tasty and great fun, especially when schooling. We recommend at least a six hour trip to give you the best shot at one of these awesome fish. Let us make your Key West experience special too!

Winter in Key West!
Winter in Key West!
Jan 20, 2023 Stock Island
The winter migration brings a variety of offshore fish in seach of food. As the ballyhoo arrive in greater numbers, so do the fish. Sailfish, mackerel, wahoo and tuna stay within easy reach. Thereโ€™s usually a few mahi around to make a โ€œslamโ€ within reach. On a full day trip, we may spend a little time in the morning catching live baits, as we did this day. It makes a difference! Let us help make your Key West vacation special too!

Weโ€™ve had a great summer so far, with plenty of mahi, some wahoo and tuna crushing our trolling baits/lures! As the hot, calm weather persists, the fishing moves further offshore, but we have still been making some fine catches! Let us help make your Key West vacation special too!

Once the winter winds start laying down for the late spring and summer, the dolphin/mahi become a somewhat consistent target for us. Trolling with Ballyhoo and lures alike, we find them in various depths, from the reef, to weigh out at Woodโ€™s Wall, where the bottom drops quickly from 900 to 1800 feet. Typically, the later in the summer it gets, the deeper we have to run to find them, but itโ€™s always good to keep an eye out for some kind of floating structure or circling and diving birds. Trolling can often be boring for the impatient, but when you get the bite, it can turn into mayhem quickly, so anglers have to be on their toes! The dolphin/mahi tend to run in schools and often follow a hooked fish to the boat, where they can be caught one after another on light spinning tackle for loads of fun. Trolling allows you to cover a lot of area, and burns a lot of expensive fuel, but it can also keep you somewhat cooled off by creating a light breeze in the nonexistent summer winds. Make plans to come dolphin/mahi fishing in Key West. Let us help make your Key West vacation special!

When youโ€™ve got the little ones on-board, keeping them busy makes a great trip for all. We knew the wind was going to be tough, so we planned for spending our four hour tour in some of our sheltered โ€œspotsโ€. Since there were more than six passengers, Captain Mike from Low Tide Charters joined us with his beautiful boat. The kids and parents alike stayed busy with non-stop snapper action. Even the four-year-old caught some! Come visit soon!

Destiny and I took these wonderful sister/brother combo from North Carolina out for a fun day of fishing. They started off rookies and ended up in sibling rivalry mayhem, bailing snappers one after the other- Muttonโ€™s, Yellowtails and Lanes. After getting plenty for dinner, it was on to some light tackle trolling. Both Spanish and Ceros made an appearance, a blast on 15# spinning gear. Finally we made a quick pass over the reef and into tuna territory. The tuna sounded before we got to them, but we did manage a brutally strong Jack Cravelle, some bonito and a big mystery fish. When we get great winter weather like this, we take advantage of it. Come visit us soon!
