    April Fishing Report

    April Fishing Report

    Well unfortunately with the coronavirus stuff going on, we have been more or less shut down for a few weeks now. We've still been getting out fun fishing a little bit here and there. I'll post a more detailed report when I have time, but for now here is our… Continue Reading

  • January Backcountry Fishing Report

    Happy New Year everyone! January is here and it's officially the start of a new decade, wow!  It hasn't felt much like January though we haven't had much cold weather at all, and from the looks of it at least in the immediate future it's going to be staying warm. … Continue Reading

  • November Backcountry Fishing Report for Islamorada

  • Summer Time Backcountry Fishing Report in Islamorada

    Summer time is here and it's been a hot one early on!  This hasn't hurt the fishing much though - we've had tremendous fishing in the backcountry and inshore waters of the Florida Keys and Islamorada.  Tarpon fishing has been fair during the day time, often being best early in… Continue Reading

  • Late April Backcountry Fishing Report

    April is nearing it's end and tarpon season is definitely in full swing here in the Florida Keys.  We had a very early start to our tarpon season here in South Florida, with a super warm and calm February and March.  Thousands of fish of all sized showed up in… Continue Reading
