FAST AND FURIOUS FISHING September 2021

Sep 1, 2021 Key Biscayne

We have had spectacular fishing these past few weeks. Too many photos to share but little time. We had anglers from all over the world wanting to catch some of SE Florida's favorite game fish and sure they left with a smile on their faces. September and October are two of my favorite months to fish the Upper Keys (Biscayne Bay, Key Largo, Everglades National Park). Water is clear with many windless days and fish are happy. We fished anything from top water lures, live bait (sardines, shrimp, crabs) to flies. In Biscayne bay the action was almost non stop except during slack tide but the tidal range is so diverse in this intricate maze of keys (islands), bays, coves and flats that just moving a few hundred yards we can always find moving water (active tides). List of fish included tarpon, snook, bonefish, jacks, redfish, mutton snapper, grouper, sharks, barracuda, and more. We are now expecting the mullet run to swing by our coast and the fishing will be on fire.

Hi Sergio. Sorry your trip wasn’t up to your expectations and you do not recommend fishing with me. We had really bad weather conditions and the bite was tough, there’s nothing I can do about it. I think your review is unfair especially after I offered you a half day trip the following day AT NO COST because I had that day off and you kept complaining that the trip was expensive for your budget, about the weather and I felt sympathetic to your household problems. Hope next time you... More
