Took a trip out to the Gulf side. The Gulf of America was full of life for us we caught tons of groupers, snappers, Cobia, barracudas, and a few really nice kingfish. Halfway through the trip one of the guys pulled out of banana which is considered very bad luck. Contrary to that superstition we had nothing but good luck. Was a beautiful day with a lot of action.
Already as of March 1st here in Key West Florida we are seeing a lot more Sailfish then we usually would. With strong Gulfstream currents running close to Key West fishing has been really good. Bottom fishing we’ve been using a lot of lead to hold bottom in these strong currents but the bite has been on fire. Here just a few quick pictures from some of my recent trips.
Live bait fishing has been red hot!! We are seeing lots of King mackerels, tuna and sailfish lately. The sniper fishing has been really good as well on the edges of the reef as well.
Here are a few pictures from some recent notable catches.
With the rest of the United States in Sub-Zero temperatures Key West is definitely the place to be. Sunny and 75 with lots of snappers, jacks, sharks and so many others just waiting to be hooked.
Today we fished a deep wreck in 220 ft where we had great success catching five nice Mutton snappers one very rare Caribbean snapper. This was my first ever that I have caught in the keys in just over 15 years. We also landed one of the biggest White margates I’ve ever seen just over 14 lb. If you’re up north freezing your butt off give me a call let’s get out on the water and do some fishing. 😎
Winter is in full swing and the fishing couldn’t be hotter. Come get out of the freezing cold up north and lets go fishing.
The mutton snapper fishing has been really good, along with the blackfin tuna fishing in the evening has been lights out. I’m also catching lots of really big amberjacks out on some of the deeper wrecks. So whether you want to fight some really strong fish like sharks and jacks or put meat in the cooler like snappers and tuna there’s no better time than Key West in the winter.
Key West has so countless wrecks to choose from. The deep wrecks have been very consistent my last few trips. Most of my big Mutton snappers have been in 200+ feet of water. It’s a lot of cranking but it’s well worth it. Here are a few pictures. Book your Key West Florida fishing charter today. Give me a call 😁
Some days in Key West charter fishing when it’s a little windy offshore and the seas get a little bit big for comfort moving inshore on the patch reefs can be a really effective strategy.
Today that’s exactly what we did. We went offshore the bite was good but the seas weren’t very friendly. We had already caught a bunch of live ballyhoo and a handful of yellow tails for lunch so we were ready to come in to calmer waters and find some nice fish. We fish for about an hour inshore and landed 5 muttons, 3 red grouper and a few others.
Started this morning at 8am started our day catching Yellowtails and some ballyhoo. Afternoon we had some in the cooler and the livewell we headed to a wreck in 130 feet. We landed 6 Mutton snapper 3 keepers, 1 Goliath grouper and a few bonus fish before heading back to the dock at 12 noon.
Had a beautiful day fishing today here in Key West Florida. I had the pleasure of taking out a couple of great guys and there dad. We had to work at it catching fish nothing was jumping in the boat. We had steady action most of the daythough.
The best part we did save for last however. In the last hour we landed a massive 200lb Goliath grouper and a nice Cubera snapper just before heading home. Wouldn’t you believe it Dad got both fish. It was truly a perfect end to a great day.
As we get into the second week of October the fishing is really starting to pick up. Lots and lots of action out there everything from tuna, Jack’s, sharks, and barracudas. Today we focused on putting some meat in the cooler and caught four really nice mutton snappers along with few other bonus fish.
