It's been an unusual year here in Islamorada with our recent weather patterns. We just had another cold front pass through yesterday which is very unusual for the Spring Time. Besides a somewhat crummy day with wind and scattered thunderstorms w

Our 100 foot structure theory has been paying off to our charters. Took some guys out from Michigan for a 6hr trip. Had live bait from the previous trip so we went straight 90 degrees till we saw 95 to 105 foot of water. Found some structure and a

We’ve been having some great fishing on the Fish n Tales out of Fish Tale Marina over the last few weeks. Gag grouper season just opened on July 1 and we are able to continue fishing for red snapper for another week or so making our long range

While the weather has been marginal at best, the fishing has been great when the weather allows us to get out there! Inshore we are starting to see a few of the big bull redfish in Pensacola Bay. We are also seeing a few starting to show up along P

It's been a while since I've posted anything so I thought I'd share a few pictures and a brief update and report. As usual we haven't had many trips the last month or 2 which is good. First mate Andrew and myself are recharged for an

January is almost over it's hard to beleive! We are currently having a cold front hit us though it's a bit unusual as it's not only cold but wet as well. Got down around 60 early this morning and some rain bands have moved through. Suppo

Spring break has been in full swing here the past couple weeks and we've had a ton of boats fishing! We are in the Spring Time fishery now which means there's a wide variety of fish not always a ton of each but you need to be ready for every

We had an extra day to fish in February this month and a few boats cashed in on it! The weather finally calmed down some this afternoon and a couple of boats put the time in searching for cobia and it paid off! There was a few 40 - 50 lbers and some

Well here is the last report for the backcountry for the year likely! Fishing has been good I've been out the last few days and was out of town for christmas to enjoy some time with the wifes family. Before I left for the holidays on the 21st we

March is here and it's been busy around town again thankfully! Many guides have been fishing just about every day. Though we've had some crazy winter weather as they've been getting all up and down the east coast. February was ridiculous

First day of Daytona Beach bike week, offshore. If you're looking for something to do during Daytona bike week 2015 give charter fishing a try. We had our first trip with our biker friends today. Seas were a little sporty going out but she laid

The last couple of weeks have seen the best fishing of the year so far for us aboard the Fish n Tales. The winter cold fronts have subsided and the weather has been great allowing us to run almost every day. The red grouper bite has been excellent o

The lane snapper (Lutjanus synagris) is a species of snapper native to the western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to southern Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. It can be found in a wide range of habitats, though it pre

We wanted to try to repeat last weeks success on the triggers and lane snapper. We left the dock roughly around 7:30. The fog was so think we had no choice but to run slow almost to a distance of 10 miles before it cleared up. Heading south this ti

Well February is just about over with and boy has it been a warm one! I think I read it's the hottest February on record in the South Florida area with it being around 8 degrees above average temperature for the entire month. We haven't had

January has brought a lot of colder weather to the keys which is definitely not unusual. Actually I think we've had some of the coldest weather we've had here probably since the cold snap of 2010! Though it hasn't stayed cold we've h

December is cruising right along and so far it's still been unseasonably warm. That means we've had a little bit of everything going on as far as the species count go. But looks like this weekend winter is coming. It's suppose to get dow

Happy Holidays Everyone   Here is a quick update on fishing and recovery in the Keys after Hurricane Irma.  The Islamorada and Key Largo areas are starting to clean up.  A lot of the debris that was piled up on the roadside has been r
