Trip Summary

Got out for a half day this morning and we had good action all around. The goliath grouper bite was ON at the bridges we released several while fishing our larger baits around the bridge pilings. Had a few break us off too but that is always part of it when fishing for grouper! We got a box full of dinner too including some snapper, porgy, and other fish. Christmas week is upon us and it's definitely getting busy busy here in the Keys you can see the traffic building. I've got some availability the coming week make sure to get something on the books before it's too late!

Got on some tarpon the other afternoon. The evening trips are still a good bet. Beat the heat and be out for the sunset period where they often fire up. These local tarpon are here all through the summer and fall until it gets cold. And we often are fishing mahi carcasses which makes for easy bait to get so that takes the worry of having bait off the table. Give me a shout lets go catching!

Got out for a full day but we split it in half which i sometimes do this time of year. We had tarpon action in the morning and then again in the evening. Caught a couple for the day and had a few more shots all staying within a few miles. July should remain good for tarpon and last minute availability is a little better. Shoot me a DM if you want to rangle with the silver king!

Still getting after the tarpon here in Islamorada. We should continue having decent fishing through July and who knows maybe into september or October. It was kind of a slow start this season so were hoping the later season will continue to produce. Evening trip are a good option and can be booked short notice often ad we arent super busy so cherry pick your conditions!
