We headed out early for a morning half day fishing charter in Everglades National Park, and conditions were excellent — Sunny with about 15mph winds. The Mangrove Snapper bite was absolutely dialed in, with consistent action throughout the day. Spotted Seatrout have also been around we were able to catch several nice ones for dinner. We sent some quality Mangrove Snapper and Spotted Sea trout home for a fresh Florida Keys dinner, while the rest were carefully released to fight another day. The trips showstopper was the long fight on a 40lb Goliath grouper with light tackle back in the mangroves it can prove to be a tough battle. Overall, it was a fantastic half day Everglades National Park fishing charter — great weather, steady action, and plenty of smiles back at the dock. If you're looking to experience backcountry fishing in the Florida Keys, conditions are shaping up nicely summer is around the corner which is my favorite time of year to fish.

This weekend’s trips produced excellent action across the Florida Keys, with steady bites and a great variety of species coming over the rails. On our Florida Keys fishing charters, anglers enjoyed productive conditions and nonstop opportunities throughout the day. We put together a solid dinner catch of mangrove snapper, landing a bunch of nice-sized mangrove snappers that were perfect for the table. The snapper bite stayed consistent, making for a fun and rewarding inshore fishing trip. The highlight of the weekend was an absolute beast — a giant jack crevalle that took nearly 20 minutes to land, putting both angler and tackle to the test. These powerful fish are known for their strength, and this one did not disappoint. Adding to the excitement, we also landed a flounder, which is a rare catch in the Florida Keys and always a cool surprise on a guided fishing charter. Along with that, we caught several miscellaneous species, keeping rods bent and action steady throughout the trip. Overall, it was another successful weekend of Florida Keys fishing, with great variety, memorable fights, and plenty of fresh fish headed home. Conditions are shaping up nicely, and we’re looking forward to more productive Florida Keys fishing trips in the coming days.

Fishing has been pretty strong on the shallow reefs with a wide variety of snapper and grouper lately. Some wahoo and sailfish have been showing up with the cooler weather. Fishing should continue to get better during the tempature drops. Plenty of opportunities to have a fun day on the water

The bite has been hot lately with plenty of action and great variety. We’ve been getting into big schools of jack crevalle, providing nonstop excitement, hard runs, and plenty of drag-screaming fights to keep rods bent all trip long. For those looking to take something home for dinner, the mangrove snapper bite has been steady with quality fish that have been perfect for the table. Even better, there have been some larger snook showing up in the mix. We’ve seen some impressive fish cruising around and feeding, giving us some incredible opportunities at trophy-class catches. With good water, steady bait, and strong tides, conditions have been lining up great and the fish have been responding. Overall, it’s been a great time to get out on the water—plenty of action, great variety, and chances at some truly memorable fish.

The redfish have been schooling up recently making the best time of year to target redfish while sight fishing. I have been seeing schools of up to 20+ fish cruising in inches of water making for a show. I have also seen and caught more 30+ inch redfish these past few months than I have going back years. The snook fishing bite early in the morning has been hot fishing small troughs stacked with fish. You might have to weed through some 24" fish to find the real big ones, but they still pull plenty hard. I've also been seeing some big tarpon cruising the shallows with their back out of the water feeding on mullet. This is one of my favorite times of year to fish because the weather is usually nice and all the species are active making it a great time of year to target a backcountry slam.

Cooler morning temperatures are turning the bite on. The past few weeks fishing has been great with 3 backcountry slams caught in a day the redfish, snook, and trout are eating. Snook season just opened up so this weekends purpose was to bring home fresh snook and that we did along with a lot of other bycatch. The redfish seemed to be everywhere with a quadruple hookup to end the day with only 3 people onboard made for a great end of the trip.
