Today’s half day we focused on catching some top quality fish. We didn’t try to catch a lot of fish but instead put the time and effort in for some quality bites. We landed 2 big Black groupers, 2 huge Mutton snappers, 1 big Goliath and flag Yellowtail.
Today we left the dock early headed out on a full day charter. We started the day off by catching threadfin herring for bait. Luckily today the bait was easy so we had a live well full of fresh bait in no time. We started our day on the edge of a reef in about 115 ft of water with our main focus being on mutton snappers. We were catching lots of kingfish on the live baits but the bottom bite wasn’t what I’d hoped it would be so we soon headed to a new spot.
After running a few miles we anchored up on a wreck in 190 ft. We were able to fish here for the remainder of the trip catching fish after fish until it was time to head home.
At days end we had landed at least 13 different species. The boys from Nebraska got to see all the Key West reef fishing has to offer!
Today we fished a 6-hour charter starting at 1:00 pm. We had nonstop action the entire trip catching lots of Kings and snappers to start off. Once the sun was getting low in the sky we put our focus on blackfin tuna. The tuna fishing did not disappoint. We had them jumping all around the boat the action was wild.
