All grouper fishing around Key West will be closed from January 1 till April 30.  Charters are booking fast for the last two weeks of December, and the grouper bite has been exceptional. We have been catching them on deep plugs, trolling deep , Live bait on heavy “digger” rigs and even as bycatch while drifting live ballyhoo for sailfish on top of the reef. So if you love Grouper book your charter fast ’cause it is going to be a long time till you get ‘em fresh again.

Thanksgiving week forecast: Light winds from the East and Southeast, Hi of 80 and lo of 70. Sunny Skies and plenty of Sailfish, Wahoo, Mackerel, and with Southeast winds Dolphin. Don’t Forget to ask about Grouper too. Great week for  Key West Fishing Charters.

The word about no oil in Key West is finally getting out and let me say there is not any oil in Key West. Charters are starting to run steady again and the fishing has been very good. The Dolphin bite has been tough as it can be in late July , so we fish the reef and wrecks and rocks that make Key West the great fishing spot that it is.We have been catching limits of Snapper and nice grouper . Usually after a limit of Yellowtails we do a little rodeo fishing with the Amberjacks on the wrecks  just off the reef. An AJ will sure test your skills and strength. This is how you want Yellowtails And for Grouper it is a shame this 60 pounder is on the protected list With the help of the deep troll and a little venting this guy swims again, minus the 6 hooks we took out of him

On some charters we get a request to fish the bottom for  snapper, grouper , and rudder fish ? Watch this video and see how  it can be easy having fun..
