  • Awesome fishing in the skinny for tailing redfish!

    Had a great time fishing with my friend, Capt. Charles Hertel, up in the skinny water of Flamingo for tailing redfish.  I normally never get back in those areas, as my boat won't go nearly that shallow.  But it was lots of fun and great to do something different.  These… Continue Reading

  • October Florida Keys Fishing Report

    October is here and the 'Fall Bait Migration' is in full effect.  What's that mean?  Well in the Fall we start to get our first hints of cooler weather (slight temperature drop, and predominantly northeasterly medium to heavier winds).  This always seems to coincide with massive groups of baitfish pushing… Continue Reading
