STRONG March Fishing and Conditions, April is full of Potential
Tonight wraps up a few days of wind following some great conditions that has carried us through the mid part of March into the tail end of Spring Break. Oh, Spring Break.....I have so much to say and I will try to focus on the positives. We saw a mid March gale wind event that FINALLY blew some clear blue water across the reef into our inshore waters. It was like the toilet flushed and we just ...
Spring Break and March Funsies
It is late February and we are heading into the March Spring Break transition. Right now we are deep into some great fishing opportunities and Spring never disappoints with the opportunities of getting in on a great diversity of adventures. It is just a matter of figuring out what your group wants to do and having the right conditions to get it done! It's difficult to predict what we will catch...
January -February 2017 Outlook
Geeze, I just realized I didn't publish my January post! I forgot to push a button!! Here is what you can expect for the remainder of the month going forward through February. Getting right to it, fishing in January/February can be great! Winter and Spring is traditionally our windy season and the weather is the deciding factor in where we can go and what we can do. When it is nice we have op...
Off Season is Opportunity Season
As soon as the kids went back to school, things got really quiet down here. The weeks of flat calm summer weather have continued past Labor Day and seems to be the dominant pattern. This time of year we commonly see a few minor tropical systems that cool our waters down with rain and wave action, but not the case this year. I have been recovering and resting from the busiest seas...
Of Wind and Wahoo
I did a little back reading on my previous updates before I began to write this as to prevent any repetition. I have a challenge here to keep this fresh! Fishing and diving this time of year can be spectacular, but we are always at the mercy of the conditions on the water. It is all about the wind this season. I understand your trip with me is about fun and a comfortable day on the water. The e...
February 1 Update
Welcome to the winter roller coaster here in the Keys! I am very grateful we aren't buried in your snow storms, but we get some of the chaos too in the form of wind and cooler than normal water temperatures. It's pretty hard to complain about a sunny 70 degree day, but what happens on land and below the water are two different things! In the water activities have been challenged by 65 degree wa...
Broken Record October 10 Report All Good!!!!
We have entered October quietly and things in general are on the quiet side. We, as locals, closely look at the tropical weather patterns this time of year for potential disasters as our Atlantic hurricane season winds down. A while back, Hurricane Wilma arrived on Halloween and fed on our really warm waters to give us a devastating weak Cat 1 Hurricane that caused too much damage for what it ...
August Lobster Update
If you have an August lobster trip booked, this is a must read! We are far enough into season for me to gather information from my own eyes and reports from local commercial fisherman. Mini season was a boom and likely a record one as far as participants and harvest. Different from previous years, this year the weather and conditions have been A+. Great for everybody that was here, but it ...
Incredible June Report
Summer is in the air and you better believe things are heating up here in the Keys. I don't know where to begin, because I have been all over the place. It looks like we made the transition from a windy late spring into the more tropical humid calmness we commonly see this time of year. This has opened the door for so many options on the water. From offshore trolling for tuna and dolphin t...
Blowing Through May
It is not too often I don't know what to say. I always like to focus on the good, so thank you to all my customers and guests for keeping their bookings with me and trusting it will all work out the past week! And a very big thank you for so much great feedback with TripAdvisor reviews that has made Florida Keys Reel Adventures the #1 rated fishing charter/attraction in Marathon, Florida Keys....
