Summer Time Fishing
Summertime fishing in the Florida Keys is all about fishing deeper water to find the fish. Because it's so hot the shallow water heats up and makes the fish go deeper. Offshore fishing for Mahi Mahi and Tuna at the Marathon Humps stays strong into the summer. Offshore wrecks are also great for Large Mutton Snappers, Grouper, and Amberjacks. For our shorter 4-6 hour trips Reef fishing for Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and Grouper is another great option for Summertime fishing. More

Wreck Fishing
The Florida Keys is littered with shallow water wrecks. Usually we like to fish the inshore wrecks that are found in less than 30 feet of water. These wrecks are productive for Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, and numerous other species all year long. We prefer to use light tackle spinning gear with live bait or lures depending on how the bite is that particular day. Wreck fishing is awesome for catching a lot of fish.

Patch Reef Fishing
Just a few minutes from our dock in Marathon is one of the most beautiful coral reefs on the planet. It's home to numerous species and is great for catching lots of fish all year long. The water is crystal clear and often times you will see hundreds of fish feeding off the chum right behind the boat.

Flats Fishing
South Florida has thousands of shallow water flats that are home to some amazing fishing. Usually, we are in less than 3 feet of water and sight fish for them.

Backcountry Fishing
The Florida Keys is home to hundreds of remote mangrove islands and shallow water flats. This is where we refer to as the Backcountry.

Hey Rich,

I just wanted to say thanks for the great fishing experience in the Florida Everglades. Kevin and I were blown away with how wild it is being so close to Miami. Kevin is still talking about his Tarpon….

Thanks again,

Captain Rich,

Thanks for another great trip. I wish the wind wasn’t blowing so hard so the fly fishing would have been easier to see them. But hey that’s fishing. But at least we were still able to get on them with the spin rods. I have a buddy from my fishing club that wants to come down and fish with you. I pass your info over to him. Well thanks again and I can’t wait to see the video we took.

Thanks again Rich and take care!
