A quieter season, with plenty happening on the water
With the kids back in school and traffic easing on US 1, I finally had a chance to catch up. Thank you to everyone who came aboard in 2013 and made it such a busy year. In this post, I was also exploring possible future additions to the business, including Everglades backcountry trips, nighttime lobster trips and trips out of Key Largo. Those were plans I was considering at the time; check my current charter information for what’s available today.
Fewer visitors didn’t mean the fishing and diving had slowed down. At the time, offshore tuna fishing was strong and I expected it to improve as fall brought cooler water. Reef snapper were biting well when the current was right. When it wasn’t, we looked to the deeper wrecks, where the mix of fish could range from small catches to very large ones.
Lobster diving was another possibility. In this report, I noted that recreational pressure had eased since the season opener, and I expected some lobster spots to fill back in. Finding them still took effort, and the activity wasn’t a guaranteed catch.
This was a quieter time around the docks, and I expected fewer fishing reports and photos until visitors returned. The availability I mentioned for the next two months is also part of the 2013 archive, not a current booking calendar.
Thanks again to everyone who joined me in 2013. If you’re planning a trip now, contact me to discuss current options for your group.
