Almost There! Charters Key West Fishing Report
Key West Summer Fishing Report
June-July-August 2008
Key West
Fishing Report January 2008 Reef and Wreck Fishing Well every now and then something comes along to wake you up. It takes a lot to catch me off guard but guests Ann and Fran from New Jersey definitely got a big surprise the day after Christmas. While enjoying a great day of action to include snapper, grouper, jacks and several types of sharks, they tied into a very rare saw fish which measured out at an estimated 14 feet. What a catch ladies. It’s only a story without the pictures… so enjoy! Additionally, cobia have been the big news with fish taken up to 60 pounds and well as numerous mackerel. Sharks, barracuda, snapper, and grouper are doing well as always. Expect the trend to continue with larger fish moving in greater numbers. Offshore Fishing Congratulations to Mike from Charlotte, NC on his first ever sailfish. The fish was caught while live baiting along the color change on a twelve pound test spinning outfit. Mike then ended the day with a nice Goliath grouper which was released as well.
Our waters have been a little warmer than usual, which has allowed us to have some unexpectedly great tarpon fishing. As the waters have cooled off just before Christmas, the nice Sea Trout, big Jack Crevalle and Mackerel have provided guests with some exceptional fishing opportunities in the Backcountry. Big barracuda are here in great numbers as well as some “healthy” sharks. Once again the pictures say it all. All this gets better as the winter goes on. Expect great catches in the upcoming months. Keep in mind, winter brings some wind with it and there is no better fishing on a windy day than in the Key West Backcountry.
Flats Fishing Santa has given us some great permit, tarpon and bonefish action of late. While tarpon are not “in season” conditions have allowed us to take several nice winter fish on light tackle and fly. As water temperatures cool, remember that afternoon trips on cooler days can allow water to warm up on the flats and be more productive than morning trips for the “Big Three” of the flats. Our excellent staff can put you on these fish as well as an abundance of quality Shark, Barracuda, and Jack Crevalle. Practice up on your casting skills; grab your polarized sunglasses and come on down to fish with Key West’s finest guides. We look forward to seeing you soon Capt Scott, Capt Joe, and the whole Almost There family |
