Black Fin Tuna have been biting & NO RED TIDE IN KEY WEST - Black Fun tuna have been biting most mornings the last week or so. Once the sun gets high or a lot of boats start working the schools, they tend to slow down, so an early departure is important. The 4 am bar closing time in KW hasn't helped a few of more...

Turning out to be a great Summer in Key West - It's been a pretty good summer. We've been running 6-9 trips most weeks and there have been a good, but not great, number of dolphin offshore. On Half days, we've had great action with big Bonitos, a (very) few Dolphin and an occasional Wahoo inshor more...
