Background: Born and raised in the Keys, Captain John is a 5th generation native to the area. Based on the westernmost point of the Keys, the natural conclusion was to turn to fishing. His biggest catches were a 14' Hammerhead Shark of 700 pounds, and Goliath Groupers weighing just under 500 pounds. Having enjoyed the hobby, he became a professional captain in 2008 and has been running charters ever since. Capt. John claims that the best part of the job is spending time with people, and sharing the passion of fishing with one another.

Offshore live bait action!

Nov 30, 2024 Key West

Fishing Report: Winter Fishery Kicks Off As winter sets in, the blackfin tuna bite has officially kicked off in full force here in Key West! Live baiting has been the name of the game, with pilchards and threadfin herring producing plenty of action. The blackfins have been aggressive, providing anglers with thrilling fights and some quality fish hitting the decks. We also had some opportunities at wahoo this week, which added an extra layer of excitement. While we did manage to hook into some nice ones, the sharks were relentless, and unfortunately, they claimed a few trophies right at the boat. It’s a good reminder to stay quick with the gaff when a wahoo is on the line—every second counts! For those looking to escape the wind and still enjoy a productive day on the water, our inshore fishery is red hot. Mutton snapper action has been excellent, with plenty of solid eaters coming to the boat. Alongside them, we’ve seen a good variety of other snapper species and some fun-sized sharks for anglers who enjoy a bit of a tug on the line. This is a great option for families or anyone seeking calmer conditions with plenty of fresh fish for dinner. With the winter season picking up, now is the time to gear up and hit the water. Whether you’re chasing pelagics or sticking closer to shore, there’s no shortage of action. Tight lines!

Inshore muttons

Nov 22, 2024 Key West

Despite recent heavy winds in Key West, inshore fishing has been exceptionally productive. Anglers are experiencing abundant catches of various snapper species, including mutton, lane, and yellowtail snappers. Additionally, there’s been plenty of action with sharks, barracudas, and mackerels, providing thrilling rod-bending experiences. The current weather in Key West features mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around 77°F. The forecast for the upcoming days indicates pleasant conditions, with highs in the low 80s°F and lows in the mid-70s Despite the windy conditions, inshore waters have remained fishable, allowing anglers to enjoy excellent fishing opportunities. The presence of various snapper species such as the highly sought after mutton snapper , we've also filled coolers with mangrove yellowtail and lane snappers as well along with sharks, barracudas, and mackerels, has contributed to the dynamic and rewarding fishing experiences in the area. For those planning to fish in the coming days, it’s advisable to monitor weather updates as winter time conditions here in the tropics do change frequently and are sporadic

Fishing with Capt. John was a great experience! Very easy going guy. We moved around a couple times until we found THE spot. After that it was one fish after another! Then to top everything off he put my 16yo daughter on a shark which she has been wanting to catch for some time. She got her wish when she pulled up a 7’ 250lb lemon shark! Thanks John for a day of great memories!
