Mutton and Mangrove Snapper hve been bit

Florida Keys Fishing Report The summer sun is heating up, and the fish are biting! We’re seeing a strong flow of Sargassum grass this season, with weed lines filling many of our beaches and channels. Finding clean water and moving current has become a key factor to success. Having live bait—or the ability to catch it—continues to give anglers a huge advantage. The Snapper bite has been a bit slower due to weak currents, so we’ve been putting out a spread and covering all the bases. This week we found a beautiful 24-inch Red Grouper along with some nice Mangrove Snapper in the backcountry. Positioning the boat and presenting baits properly has been the difference-maker. There are plenty of fish to be found, but avoiding slack tides and targeting deeper channels where fish seek cooler water will greatly improve your chances. Summer fishing is in full swing, and there are still plenty of opportunities to put together a great catch. Let’s Get ’Em! ? Captain Tony Florida Keys Island Fishing

Tarpon and Permit are on the move here in the Lower Keys, and things are heating up fast. We’ve been focusing on strong moving water around the bridges, where the Tarpon are showing up in good numbers—rolling, tail-slapping, and making their presence known. It’s a game of patience and persistence, but when it all comes together, it’s as exciting as it gets. Out on the reef edge, the Yellowtail bite remains steady, with some quality fish in the mix. Mackerel are also cruising through, so be ready—things can change fast, and when the bite turns on, it’s game on. Springtime fishing is in full swing down here. Let’s get after it.

Fishing in the deep channels between the Atlantic and the Gulf is productive fishing. Setting out several lines and live baits will donthe trick!
