Oct. Flats Fishing Report For The Lower Florida Keys (10/25/2012)
[Florida Keys,FL] Fall in the Keys is my favorite time of year...

Currently in the keys (8/10/2010)
[Florida Keys,FL] The last three days have been cloudy with not much wind.. Makes for good conditions to target baby tarpon..

Better days are coming......... (2/25/2010)
[Florida Keys,FL] The recent cold fronts have effected the fishing this Jan and Feb. Cold water temperatures force the tarpon, permit and bonefish off the flats into deeper water.. How ever it is warming up this week... Finally. Back in the mid to high 70"s..

January in the Lower Florida Keys (1/24/2010)
[Florida Keys,FL] It has been 2 weeks since my last report. I have been stalling and waiting for some good news. You may or may not know that Florida was bludgeoned with a major cold front early this month.

Xmas in the Florida Keys (12/28/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] Clouds, wind and cold fronts continue to plague us here in the keys.. Must be winter..

Winter is fun in the keys (12/13/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] It has been a warm december here in the Florida Keys. Highs for this week in the mid 80's.. Water temps rose into the low 80's two days ago.

First cold front... (11/14/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] It was bound to happen sooner or later. Our first major cold front of the year has arrived. Just after that we had some horrendous fishing conditions when Ida was passing though... 30+ mph winds and solid cloud cover.

Winter is coming... (10/31/2009)

Low Tide + Early Mornings = Tailing Bonefish (10/07/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] Been launching the boat before sun up the last several days.. It has been worth it.. Great sun rises, and lots of tailing fish. Later as the tide comes in and the water levels rise, we are looking for pushes and waking fish. It has been a blast! Tarpon and permit fishing continue to be stellar.

Bonefish?? Tarpon?? Permit??? (9/29/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] It is a tough choice some times... However weather and conditions can be a determining factor.

Low Water + Low Light = Tailing Bonefish (9/23/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] The very best months to fish to fish for bonefish in the lower Florida Keys begin with S. Once again this September has been very good for bonefish. Early mornings on the bottom of tide have been a blast!

Flats Fishing in the Florida Keys (3/04/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] Finally warmed up and the fishing was great last weekend. I had the pleasure of spending the day with Tim and Rhonda. They were a blast..

Tarpon season is almost here! (2/26/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] Wind and more wind... The last week we have been faced with NE wind.

The cold weather is gone and the fishing is back! (2/16/2009)
[Florida Keys,FL] The cold front that hit over a week ago is finally over.. Cooler weather in the 50;s and 60;s lower the water temperatures, which sends permit, tarpon and bonefish into deeper and warmer water.

New years day tarpon (1/04/2008)
[Florida Keys,FL] Happy New Year!! The weather and the fishing for the end of year has been epic! Water temperatures in the high 70s. light wind and cloud cover has made for some excellent baby tarpon fishing. This is not typical weather for this time of year, but what a way to spend New Year Day then putting tarpon in the air.

Happy New Year from the Florida Keys! (12/31/2006)
[Florida Keys,FL] Happy New Year from the Florida Keys! Hard to believe another year is coming to a close. The fishing has been hit or miss this month. We have had some "Chamber of Commerce" postcard perfect days. Intermixed with some cold front days that were better suited to tying flies and doing laundry.
