Trip Summary

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!
