The Yellowtail snapper fishing has been red hot. Tons of big yellowtails and lots of bonitas, King mackerels, sharks, barracudas, and so many other species. Wintertime action is some of the best so many different species comfortable temperatures.
The temperature has finally broken here in beautiful Key West. We have finally left the ’80s and are
A few sailfish showing up with the changing season
As the water starts to cool off here in Key West we see an increase number and sailfish pushing down some of the color changes. We were bottom fishing on a wreck in 190 when we hooked this beautiful sailfish. We also landed multiple mutton snappers , sharks, and a few really nice amber jacks before heading home on a 6-hour charter.
Changing of the seasons
The temperature has finally broken here in beautiful Key West. We have finally left the ’80s and are now continuing to linger in the mid ’70s on most days. This change in temperature is what gets the fish really going this time of year. We will begin to see more fish coming back up onto the reef from the deep. We will also see more sailfish coming through and lots and lots more tunas.

With fall starting to set in and the temperature breaks from the summer heat we start to see more and more blackfin tunas here in Key West Florida.
On my last few trips we have gotten quite a few nice blackfin tunas along with snappers, jacks, sharks, and barracudas. As the water temperature begins to cool the fishing will get hotter and hotter book your charter today by calling me directly on my cell at 574-238-8963.
Big Jacks
Today we headed offshore to do a little mahi fishing. Then why he bite was much slower than we had hoped for so we came in and started fishing on a deep wreck. We hooked multiple jacks over 50 lbs and caught a few Bonita’s before heading home.
Had a great day full of action today. We hit the reef for some yellow tails then hit a wreck for some barracudas.
I then moved on to a deeper wreck where we drifted some live baits for some big groupers We ended up landing three with one of them being eaten. We also landed some amberjacks and then set up on one final wreck where we caught lots of sharks.

King of the wreck
Today was a day to remember. Everything went exactly according to plan. We started our day getting some nice Yellowtail snappers for lunch. As we’re catching our snapper we also caught Bar jacks and Speedos to put in the livewell. With both the cooler and livewell packed full we headed to a deep wreck in 170 feet. We had all the action we could handle. Landing monster Amber jacks one after the other. We even landed 2 big Black groupers. With time for one more drift Alex (a 16 year old boy) asked if we ever catch Goliath grouper? I said oh yeah!! We put our biggest bait on our biggest rod and boom fish on. With a lot of power, luck, and determination we had him.
More action on the shallow reefs
Today we headed out about 4 miles and settled on one of my all time favorite shallow reef spots. We caught so many fish it was hard to keep up with these young boys. Just such a great day on the water ???? 
Inshore is every bit as fun as offshore
Today with the wind blowing 25 to 30 knots offshore we decided to stay inshore near Key West in the nice calm waters. We started our trip off in about 30 ft on a area of heavy reef. After catching five months and snappers and putting three in the cooler we decided to switch up do some shark fishing. Right away after setting up on our new spot we started catching big sharks one after another. In total we caught 5 sharks over 100lbs.
Sharks don’t play nice
Today we started our day on The reef catching yellowtail snappers one after the other. We lost quite a few big yellow tails and a few other nice snappers on the reef to the sharks. We moved out to a deeper wreck and 180 hoping that the sharks would give us a break. Sadly the sharks were just as bad out deep as they were on the reef. All in all still a great day on the water and we came home with more than enough fish for dinner.
Key West Sea Fishing
Meat Mayhem
Last year I had fished the Meat Mayhem King fish tournament here in beautiful Key West all by my self. I called up a good buddy of mine Chuck and asked if he would join me for the touronaut this year. Chuck was in and we were a go. Chuck garbed a few buddies and we headed out in some really rough seas in search of a monster King so we could take home some prize money. We started off really hot catching a few nice Kings in the 30lb range and spent the rest of the day trying to improve but never could. It was a long and hard day on the water but all in all a great experience. I am looking forward to next year and getting my name on one of those huge checks. ????
Big Snappers in the deep
Today I got to take Dave and his son Scott out fishing on a 6 hour charter. We skipped the reef and went straight out to the deep. We started on a wreck in 220 feet of water where we had constant steady action. Starting the day off with a few nice Porgy and Vermillion snappers. With a few nice fish in the box we set our sights on some big Mutton snappers and that’s exactly what we got. Dave got the first 2 big Muttons snappers both well over 10 lbs. Scott was next with a monster Mutton close to 15lbs. After we had lots of meat in the cool we picked up and moves to a wreck in 150 feet where we ended our day catching a few Barracudas for sport at the end of the day.
Key West Florida Deep Sea Fishing
red hot reef action
This morning we left Key West on a little half day trip at 8am. We headed to one of my favorite Yellowtail snapper spots and never had to move. We caught lots of Yellowtails along with so many awesome bonus fish. We caught Bonito, Barracuda, sharks and even a few big King mackerel. We had nonstop action catching fish after fish. You could not ask for a more perfect half day of fishing.
Sun up to sun down
Today we fished all day long. We fished on the reef on the edge of the reef. We fished some deep wreck and even drifted a few really deep wrecks. Hooking and landing a few really nice fish at each spot we went. Sadly no spot stayed hot for very long so we bounced around a lot. By days end we had a cooler full of fish and we were all tired and ready to get back to the dock just as it was getting dark.
Little bit of everything
Today we had one hell of a day today fishing with Donald and his family. We left Key West on a full day 8 hour charter at 8 am and headed south west. We started fishing on the reef in about 60 feet where we caught some monster Yellowtail snapper and one big Mutton on light tackle. After the reef we moved out to a wreck in 130 feet where we had lots of success. We caught 2 big Blackfin tuna, Mutton snappers, Sharks, and even a big Black grouper. Today went exactly to plan and was one hell of a good time.
camo on camo
Today I got to take out my friend and long time customer Will. He brought a few of his buddies along with him this time. We had a great time catching fish all day. We hooked and lost a Sailfish and caught a few King Mackerel along with a monster Blackfin tuna. When the later part of the trip came around we stopped on one of my favorite wrecks in 120 feet just off the reef edge. I had hoped we would catch some nice Mutton snappers but the Black groupers had a deferent plan. We caught 5 monster Black groupers one after the other. All the fish were over 25 pounds. It was a crazy bite and so fun to be apart of. Sadly we had to let them all go but we had enough meat in the cooler anyway so it was all really just a bonus.
Big snappers and grouper on the half day
Today Scott his son and I headed out from Key west on a half day fishing charter. We headed straight to a wreck in 150 feet and never needed to move. We caught our first Black grouper of the new year. Witch we safely released. We also landed lots of Barracudas. Half way through the trip Scotts son Matt hooked a huge shark that took the both of them and about 30 minutes to land. In the midst of all this action was our coolest fish of the day. Scott hooked and landed a beautiful Cubera snapper in the 20lb range. Cubera are one of the toughest fish to not only hook but also to land.
