Off To Key West

after a brutal 3 weeks in April...the sun is finally out and Myself and several other fisherman are heading to Key West for a 5 day mix of sailfish, blackfin, mahi, kings, tarpon, and permit.....

I havent touched a rod in 6 months and cannot wait!!!!
Hopefully this will be a great kickoff to an epic season for ALL......

we are fishing with Rush maltz (seen often on spanish fly), steve rodger (spear one), and Tony Murphy (key limey)....

The plan is to fish Tarpon Wednesday early evening...2 of our tarpon flat boat guides are local vineyard guys (Jamie Boyle and Tom Repon)

Thurday (10-15knot winds) will be a sailfish/permit day

Friday (<10kt winds) will be perfect for blackfin tuna action in the gulf

Friday night (weather willing)...Swordie night

Saturday probably another offshore day

back from key west

got back a couple days ago....fishing was ok...but not lights out.
The tarpon run was plagued with high winds and a slow bite...we did hook up a few times around the docks/pilings..but virtually impossible to bring fish out from under pilings...

had some fantastic permit fishing off the reefs...some over 20lbs, caught tons of snapper/grouper, had a few sails, a tuna or two....some decent amberjacks, sharks, cudas, etc....

didnt get a chance to fish blackfin in the gulf as there were no shrimp boats around.....and swordies were out as winds were too high most of the nghts....

But, great guides, lots of fish, lots of sun, and cool stuff to see.....pix to follow

Thanks for the good report! Too bad about the swords/wind and blackfin outings but it sure beat being back here and there's a reason to get back there.
Look forward to the pictures!
