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 ...

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....

April’s Latest News

Looks like I'm way behind in my updates!  Thank you to the dozens of families that have kept me so busy the past month!  It has been quite a challenge with strange weather and water conditions.  Our "winter" has arrived late and made for plenty of windy days on the water and cooler water temps.  It has tested me as a captain and a fisherman to make critical calls for the comfort and success of...

March Wrap Up

Florida Keys Reel Adventures has been running wide open for perhaps my busiest month ever.  What a blessing to be a part of so many adventures and spend so much time on the water.  Families on Spring Break have made up the majority of my fishing trips the past few weeks.  Despite having mostly perfect weather up until now, fishing has been all over the place.  We have had good fishing and clea...
