Key West - Saltwater Fishing Report

Early December Mild Weather Turns Fish On!

December 15, 2004Early December was unseasonably warm with air temps in the low 80's and water temps in the mid to high 70's making the bite very good to excellent for Tarpon, Bonefish,

and Permit.We are looking forward to Tarpon season 2005! Make your plans soon, as there are still some dates available during

March, April and Late June.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. December, January and

February are generally great months to catch Permit, Barracuda, Shark, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, Sea Trout, Ladyfish, and Lane Snapper. Bonefish and Tarpon are also available with mild weather. So plan your trip now.

Tarpon like the one above landed

by Louis Eagle, will be moving into Keys waters in January, February, March and April.Permit are available all winter and spring here in the Keys.

Bonefish will be schooling all over flats 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, winter, and spring.
