Key West - Saltwater Fishing Report

Key West Winds Moderate, Permit and Bonefish Back on Flats

Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit are on the angling menu this week as the wind has moderated enough to provide action for the big three grand slam species as well as Barracuda, Shark, Jack Crevalle, Cobia, and Mutton Snapper. Even in the wind we managed to hook up some Bonefish on the flats this past weekend. Late February and March is the best time to stalk the most prized species on fly: Permit. March is also great for early Tarpon, migrating in from deep water. There are also Bonefish available, Jack Crevalle, Mutton Snapper, Barracuda, Shark and possibly Cobia.Before you travel to the Keys, call Capt. Dexter Simmons for a live report 305-745-3304.
