Dec 26, 2025 Key West
5 hour trip live baiting the Reef. There was beautiful weather today. Had a lot of snapper biting ended up with three legal ones to take home . The yellow tail weโ€™re doing good too This picture doesnโ€™t do them justice. Also took home 2 cero makera. This group was a group of four people who came off of the cruise ship. They were able to come bored and get back just in time to get back on the cruise ship.

What an epic trip! We set out to do some shark fishing and after a few black tips and nurse sharks, we got this beast to the boat! It was a true adrenaline rush to see this huge tiger shark up close.

Mutton bite ?
Mutton bite ?
Dec 6, 2025 Key West
This was the definition of a perfect fishing day. Our guest didnโ€™t have a preference on what they caught. They just wanted to get something for dinner. My favorite fish to catch is mutton snapper not just because they are a fun fight but because they are delicious. we had more bites than I could count and we caught at least 20 mutton snapper. We threw back a lot of undersized mutton, snapper, but still came back with a great catch of legal size. and in between the my snapper bite, we were also able to land some legal yellowtail, which is another delicious fish. Overall had a great time caught lots of fish threw back lots of fish. Everyone was happy.

What a day on the water! - Sailfish biti
What a day on the water! - Sailfish biti
Dec 5, 2025 Key West
On todayโ€™s 6-hour charter, we had multiple sailfish bites offshore, and our crew managed to land this beautiful one after an exciting fight. Once we wrapped up the sailfish action, we headed in and trolled the reef, where the mutton snapper were chewing. This is the perfect time of year for muttons, and our anglers put some excellent eating fish in the box to round out the trip. A great day with steady action and happy customers all around!
