Key West - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing Every Day!

Feb. 22, 2004Permit are Marching, Tarpon are rolling and Bonefish are schooling here in the fabulous Florida Keys, so we are fishing every day! Today and tomorrow the temps should rise to nearly 80 degrees fahrenheit and the water temps on the flats should reach the mid 70's. If you have time to "get away", now is the time to do it.Casting from the foredeck of "FlatsMaster" in THE CAGE gives anglers additional height and stability so they may easily spot fish in the clear, shallow waters of the Keys. Yesterday we found large schools of Permit floating near the patch reefs. The current weather trend should bring some great catches of Permit, Tarpon, and Bonefish during the next 6 weeks, so plan your trip now.Tarpon like the one above landed by Louis Eagle, will be pushing through Keys waters regularly from now through June.Permit are Marching in big numbers from now through early April. Bonefish will be schooling and readily available as the water temps rise to the mid to high 70's. Our Father (Mother) - Son (Daughter) Key West Flats Fishing Trips are now scheduled for throughout the summer, fall and winter.

Dexter Simmons for a future fishing charter by telephone at 305-745-3304 or by email at [email protected]
