For the last few weeks on my Islamorada fishing charters I’ve been fishing off and on for tarpon. Success rates have been all over the board. I had a “three large fish in a half-day outing” with one couple and a painful “no fish for three trips” with a father and son family stinker. Late […] The post Best time to go tarpon fishing in the Florida K...

When on an Islamorada backcountry fishing charter the excitement elevates as soon as you begin spotting rolling tarpon. Have you ever wondered why tarpon roll? Tarpon have a special air bladder similar to lungs of air-breathing animals. They roll in order to gulp air and then swallow and expel the used air through their air […] The post Roll Tarpo...

Unlike me my backyard bees are working very hard right now. One upside to not being able to do any fishing charters in Islamorada right now due to the Covid-19 closures is that I am able to spend some time with my backyard bees. Yep when I’m not fishing I’m a beekeeper! As it turns […] The post Captain Ted’s Plan BEE appeared first on Captain Ted....

I was honored to be featured in a recent video by Florida Keys Lifestyle called “God Made a Small Business Owner.” The video created by local Islamorada realtor Claire Johnson truly captures the essence of the passion dedication and self-reliance it takes to be Florida Keys small business owner. As an Islamorada fishing guide I […] The post God Ma...

I’ve had a lot of people ask whether fishing charters are open in the Florida Keys due to the Covid-19 and the answer is YES! During the initial Covid-19 closures March – May 2020 going fishing was always on the approved list of things to do in Florida but because the Florida Keys were closed […] The post Are fishing charters open in the Florida K...

Tarpon fishing in Florida Keys is at the top of many fishermens’ bucket lists and actually releasing a trophy tarpon can take a lifetime of trying. But young Matias Raponi down fishing in the Florida Keys from Atlanta GA he made it look easy. Given Matias at 14-years-old is a pretty accomplished young angler he […] The post Tarpon Fishing in Flori...

Sheepshead fishing has been great over the past few weeks these guys can be a lot of fun and when found in good numbers make for steady action. Lately I have been finding sheepshead around deeper structure rock piles docks bridges and even steep drop off’s around the ICW.

The snook have been chewing good lately with the water temps rising. Small creeks and canals have been loaded up with finger mullet so if you find the bait you will find the snook.

August is a great month to hit the beach and target the usual suspect’s tarpon kingfish sharks and jacks. Look for shrimp boats to dump their by catch and get ready to hook into various species of sharks using 7/0 Daiichi circle hooks and a minimum of 80lb. test leaders. Once the sharks get their fill look for the tarpon to move in to finish off w...

Flood tide? What is it and what’s the big deal? Well it’s probably one of the most sought after tides a shallow water angler will target redfish this time of year. Nothing is more exciting to a shallow water anglers than sight fishing “backing redfish” or “tailing redfish!” During late summer and early fall the full moons and new moons bring in ex...

We received... Continue Reading

It’s been a strange winter thus far it’s been unseasonably warm which has meant unseasonably warm water temperatures. It’s taken time for the fish to start moving into their winter patterns. But the last week or two we’ve started having big blue catfish show up with more consistency and we’ve caught some great fish in... Continue Reading
