Key West and Lower Keys

Capt. Dexter Simmons
November 4, 2003
Key West - Saltwater Fishing Report

November a Transition Month for Flats Fishing

November in the Keys is often a transition month when the humid days of summer and early fall bluster into a pattern of cold fronts sweeping down from the north. North winds often reach 20 nauts or more, forcing flats boats on the more protected shores of the Atlantic side of the Keys. The flats fishing on the Atlantic side is very good for Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit. There are also Big Barracuda, Sharks, Jack Crevalle, Mutton Snapper, Mackerel, Pompano and even an occasional Cobia or two found near channel mouths.In between the cold fronts the winds will sometimes diminish and swing around to the east-southeast, lingering there for a few days until the next cold front approaches. On these days the Gulf side flats will be the best bet, as the warmer east-southeast air will warm the waters and turn the flats fish on again.As I head into a five day run of charters at the end of this week, I am focused on just such a transition that should provide some very good fishing for Bonefish, Permit and baby Tarpon on the Gulf side flats. Here is a nice shot of a Bonefish taken in the Gulf flats fishery.Our Father (Mother) - Son (Daughter) Key West Flats Fishing Trips are now scheduled for throughout the summer, fall and winter. For more information about the Father and Son Flats Fishing Trips go to http://www.keywestflyfishing.com You may contact Capt. Dexter Simmons for a future fishing charter by telephone at 305-745-3304 or by email at [email protected]
