Aaron Nelson

Member since June 2023 Tavernier, United States

Background: Originally from Indiana, I moved to Islamorada in 2018 chasing warm sunshine & fishing dreams. Learning the ropes on head boats & private charters as a mate. Naturally, I took the next step of becoming a Captain & running my own charters. The amazing fishing, places, people, wildlife & beautiful waters make the keys my island paradise. I try to share those vibes with folks who join me on the boat. Any day out on the water is a day to be treasured.

Mangrove Spawn is On

Jul 4, 2024 Tavernier

In the Florida Keys, mangrove snapper usually spawn soon after the full moon in June. The fishing remains excellent through July and August. The larger mangroves head to the shallow patch reefs on the ocean side in massive schools. This is where the spawn takes place. Today, we anchored up on the ledge just south of Crocker Reef, 50-55ft. This is typically a yellowtail snapper spot & it still is but the mangroves are taking nearly 50% of the bite already. These are decent size, most today 15-17 inches, healthy fish. My clients took their fair share to Lorelei Restaurant for lunch, i took the leftovers to Dillons pub for lunch. One of my fav snapper times of the year.
