African Pompano season is here in Key West
With the wrecks off of Key West teaming with life there is no shortage of action. We are seeing lots of jacks, snapper, grouper and honestly to many species to name.
One fish in particular the African Pompano is a very special fish that we see more frequently in the first 3 months of the year. Top notch eating and an amazing fighters APs are gorgeous. Catching one is always a special occasion. Checking one of these bad boys off your list is always special. Today we landed 2 which is the limit here in Key West FL.
Heavy coolers! Key West at its finest
Key West is home to massive verity of fish species to target. Today was nothing but action and fish for the cooler. Muttons, Amber jack, Almaco jack, Blackfin, and so much more! Just look how still the ocean was today! Truly a special day on the water. We had all the action we could handle it was a perfect day.
Best of the best in Key West
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.
All the Keys has to offer
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!
Sunset Key West fishing
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.
