Unfortunately, most of the month of June has been unseasonably windy, forcing me to run my charters closer to shore and for a shorter time frame. The 2 to 4-hour charters have been a hit, allowing me to get people on fish quickly and back to the dock before another thunderstorm rolls in. For folks who would like to experience the best tug to be had, ask about a two-hour goliath grouper trip; that’s generally all I need to get everyone on the boat, exhausted from reeling up their biggest fish ever caught. Another good option for customers is to book a low tide paddle boarding charter. For these charters, I paddle deep into mangroves that are too shallow for either of my boats but deep enough for a paddleboard and target fish that are stuck in deep holes during our low tides. This produces by far the largest numbers of caught tarpon, redfish, and Snook. Inshore Fishing: June in Key West brings calm winds and hot temperatures, perfect for inshore fishing. Anglers can expect to have great success targeting species such as Bonefish. It’s also a good time to chase after Snook and Redfish around the mangroves in shallow waters. Reef Fishing: As the summer heat intensifies, the reef fishing around Key West is sizzling. Anglers can expect to hook into a variety of species including Yellowtail Snapper, Grouper, and Mutton Snapper. The clear, warm waters are ideal for targeting these fish, especially on the patch reefs and deeper ledges. Offshore Fishing: Offshore, the waters are teeming with life. Ahi-Mahi and tuna fishing is in full swing, providing thrilling action and table fare for anglers. The mutton snapper fishing is fantastic on the wrecks now, you might also encounter a few red snapper in the mix, which is a delicious treat. The summer pattern is setting in, so expect stable weather with the occasional tropical system stirring up the waters briefly. Captain’s Tip: Keep an eye on the weather forecasts as June marks the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. While most days will be perfect for fishing, it’s always best to be prepared for any sudden changes.

Inshore Fishing: Tarpon: The silver kings are in town, with the tarpon Gulf migration in full force. These magnificent fish are the largest and heaviest of the year, offering anglers thrilling battles and unforgettable catches. Consider booking a charter starting 5 AM or 6pm for 3 hours or so, when they are actually biting. Permit: You can still find them on the flats, but throughout the month of April, it will be easier to find them on the wrecks and reef. Snook: The backcountry is alive with snook action. Great success with these smart fighters, especially tight around the mangroves. Tons of fun with the paddleboard at low tide. Give me a call about this. It’s tons of fun! Redfish: Schools of redfish are providing consistent action, with many anglers enjoying the light-tackle challenge they offer. It’s good, but honestly not nearly as good as it was last year. Bonefish: Honestly, I’m not your guide for bonefish. They’re small, hard to see, and they bore me. Hire another guide if bonefish gives you a rise in your Levi’s. I’ll do it, but not happily… Sharks: They are killing my tarpon... Let's get them! try to book a sunset charter! Offshore Fishing: Sailfish: The sailfish bite is strong, with many reports of successful catches. These acrobatic beauties are a favorite for sportfishers seeking high-speed thrills. I like using lighter line than most captains. You’re going to get way more bites, and it’s better for the fish, so what if we don't always get a grip-n-grin. Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi): The Gulf Stream is bringing in schools of bait, and with them, hungry dolphin fish. April is the month to catch your biggest dolphin! Tuna: Holy crap, March was an awesome month for tuna. I had some of my best tuna experiences this year. I hope it continues! Snapper and Grouper: Bottom fishing is yielding good numbers of snapper and grouper, with some impressive sizes being hauled up from the depths. We’re even catching some monster red snapper! I caught one yesterday above 16 pounds and 33 inches! Why Book with Goliath Charters?
