Preparing for Preparing in September
A little back story to start. I created my business to offer you the best things I know how to do on the water here in the middle Keys. I am a good teacher and I have the ability to do all of these ocean activities that are super fun. Over the years I have engineered systems to almost guarantee you have a successful outcome on the trips I offer. I built this website t...
Quickie Early July Update
I just wanted to keep everybody in the loop. I've been on the water every day and it is hard to get to the calls and questions that come my way. This is the best way to tell you how it is! Lobster Mini Season is coming and I am booked. I might add a second boat next year if this year goes well. No I don't know who else is open, probably nobody to be completely honest. You waited too long. ...
December 2017 Update
When I think of December many thoughts come to mind. So many things are happening, big changes are coming and it all culminates with a busy holiday week to finish the month and year. Thankfully, the weather has been warm here and many opportunities wait for you to take advantage of. From fishing to snorkeling to nearly anything you can think of, now is a great time of the year to give yourse...
Magnificent November
It's always good to live, work and play here in the Florida Keys, but November has to be one of my favorite months. It is a transitional month, so there are no rules for this or that. Everything is on the move and the wind is switching directions more frequently, so it is tough to answer my customer's questions about what is biting a week from now. It is all about taking advantage of opportunit...
August 1 Report
Here we are in August already and time seems to be flying by! I just looked back at my 2015 August report and there are many similarities and a few differences. August is always one of the hottest months for us and that means we have to adjust a little to make anything we do easier. I do understand that every customer wants the biggest/best/most of everything in a miracle-like fantasy for the l...
This July is different, PLEASE read this
It is difficult for me to even think ow how I should begin this and how to word it. We are nearing the middle of a very hot and very busy season. There are so many moving parts to talk about and all of is it tough for me to relate properly to my customers. This summer is exceptionally hot and our water quality now and for the next few months is suffering. I am so used to having really high cus...
Enjoy Your Maycation!
We are entering one of the "sweet spots" of the year where we have so many things working in favor for your fun. Coming out of our seasonal winds, we can expect longer stretches of nice days, clear warm water and new fish coming into our area. The past few weeks my groups have been focusing on fishing the deep reef for yellowtail snapper. It is more of an early bite, but when we have the ri...
April Update
I'm finally getting around to writing a report and I see my Spring Break report never made it to completion. That's alright; the gist of it was highlights of lots of great trips we had in March. April brings warmer weather and more great opportunities with hopefully less wind that comes with out winter/spring transition. We are nearing mid-April now and we have a lot to look forward to. T...
Oh February, Pleasant or Punishing?
I was so happy to put January behind me for all of the weather challenges we encountered. We had many great trips and epic catches, but the stress of juggling the constantly changing weather and keeping on the fish in comfortable conditions was wearing on me. February begins today with what was a great forecast on paper, but heavy rains and howling winds clearly show that more of the same is s...
January 2016 Outlook
Hi everybody, happy new year! As we begin a new calendar year, our winter fishery is already in full swing. Not in our typical way, but there is really no such thing as typical or normal anymore! We have had many outstanding trips, but every trip has been different and patterns have been difficult to establish or short lived. Wind and water temperature has been the deciding factor where we...
