I’ve been fishing out of Key Largo and Flamingo If you read below It seemed like we might get some day with less wind. If it was calm I wasn’t fishing! The benefit of wind is it makes stronger current along the Mangrove points in the back country. There is a very good Snook bite in all of Whitewater Bay not giants but real good numbers. As of 11-1...

Wow November has not been like it typically is. Usually November we have absolutely perfect weather conditions but this November we have been beat up by some high winds. There were a few days where I was fishing in 25 to almost 30 mile an hour winds. However as of today the wind dropped and we started off with really calm conditions which was such...

It’s been a while since I updated my report page. Fishing has been good even though we have had a couple serious hurricanes skirt Miami and the Keys.

There was...

Welcome back guys or should I say it's good to be back.  I had some trips in the early part of the month and then took a nice long vacation and came back to a full calendar of trips so here's the run down of the month so far.   The water temps are still in the mid to upper 80's but there has been a big push of mullet and pilchards migrating into B...
