Key West Fishing Report - Offshore - The fishing in Key West has been so good over the past two weeks that it is hard to decide which way to turn when leaving the harbor, and I expect it to only get better as the spring species prepare to enter the picture. There has been a slow down on more...

Key West and Lower Keys - The Great Pompano Rides Again! Permit are everywhere! Permit like windy conditions as long as the water is clean enough for them to feed. The wind produces a chop on the water surface that provides extra cover for them on the flats. You can a more...

Marathon, Florida Keys - Shallow Water Sails The past couple of days here off of Marathon and the middle Keys, a nice batch of clean water moved in on the reef edge. This happens when the wind turns to the East/SE and an eddie wips in from the gulfstream and makes it to more...
