November... Our Wahoo migration is in full swing in the blue water
through December to January. Sailfish and Tuna work their way down the "Color Change", and Pilchards (small baitfish) show up in the shallows, where we cast net them and subsequently chum the blue water with them
live. This live chumming attracts the game fish closer to the boat, where we have a better chance of presenting artificial lures and flies to them. That's light tackle sport fishing at it's finest.
Back December...
Cold fronts continue to push migrating fish southward. Blue water fishing is in full swing: Sailfish, Tuna, Wahoo and Kingfish.Cobia migrate south to the gulf wrecks. Tarpon
begin to amass in Key West Harbor along with Cobia and Permit. Back
January... Blue Water fishing still producing Sails, Tuna, Wahoo, and Kingfish.Off shore reef and wrecks
producing the much sought after but elusive Afican Pompano as well as Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack and Giant Kingfish. Tarpon continue to amass in Key West Harbor, and will respond to Lures and Live Bait. Back February...
Blue Water fishing still good.Tarpon start responding to chumming in the Harbor along with Permit, Cobia and Snapper. Sharks appear in the shallows and can be attracted
and enticed to take Lures and Flies readily. Back
March... Springs replaces winter weather and the fishing season is coming into full swing! Tarpon, Permit and Cobia come
close to shore. Sharks, sharks, sharks in the shallows. This is visual fishing, Giant sharks rushing the boat in clear, shallow water, where we can catch them on fly. Even if you've never fly fished before!
Very Exciting! Back
April...
Prime Time! Tarpon and Permit abound. Then, we can run offshore and capture a
Sailfish to complete a "Keys Classic". Sharks, still plentiful on the flats. Snapper and Grouper available offshore also.
Back May...
Still Prime time! Weather getting warmer and summer time patterns developing. Tarpon and permit still prime target. Sharks still active. Offshore still has Sails,Tuna, Snapper,
Grouper, Barracuda and Amberjack.Back June... Summer setting in. Dolphin action heating up in the Blue Water!! Tarpon and Permit still in good number. Sharks still good also.
Back
July...
Hot! hot! hot! Lots of species try to find a "comfort zone" in deeper water. Tarpon still good, Permit move out to gulf
wrecks along with the Sharks. Offshore fishing is good with many species seeking cooler water.Back
August, September, October...
Still Hot! Offshore on the Atlantic side of the Gulf of Mexico is the best bet. Fishing is still good, but everyone is waiting for the season to
start again.Back
