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!

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. There’s usually a few mahi around to make a “slam” 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!

We’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!
