Florida Keys Bonefish 8-2011

Key West Fishing Report Aug 12
Posted on August 12, 2011 by DrCatcher


Bonefish

Bonefish on Jig Key West

Thats been the lately of it. We have had the weather man report 40 -60 percent chances

of rain and we wind up with nothing more than a convective orphan of a storm that wets the island city of Key West and does not hamper the fishing. Both inshore and offshore fishing has been very good and our clients are happy.

Lobster season started off with a bang last week on the 6th. Lots of boats out there. I have spoken to a few people so far and they say “easy picking” . Thats good news for visiting tourists wanting to catch a bug or two.

Fishing in Key West has been pretty stellar. Summers can be a little slow do to the heat but this year the heat is on and the fishing is awesome.

In the backcountry and on the flats we are getting a decent early morning tarpon bite. Its over by 8:30. Then off to the shallows. Last couple days the water is real high in the AM and low in the evenings. This makes great for lady fish, jacks and fun fish during the heat of the day and there are MANY around. Also large Mangrove snappers have found their way into the backcountry for some nice 3 and 4 lb fish on fly and live bait. During the afternoon is the magic. After that stray storm pushes through we are getting awesome shots at permit and bonefish, completing a great day of backcountry inshore fishing.

Photo Credit Capt. Kyle K. of Dream Catcher Charters provided the shot of the bonefish. Photo was taken with his new Nikon D7000. Great capture..

Offshore the reef bite is hit and miss. the clearer the water the harder it is. But if you find some chalk water start your bottom fishing and there they are. We did real well on muttons and groupers at the beginning of this week with some nice filets for the Hook and Cook program for some lucky anglers from Michigan. 16lb muttons.. NICE>. Followed up by 4 – 9 lb mangrove snappers.

In the blue water I spoke to Capt. Brice Barr this week. He runs the Double Down out of Garrison Bite. He is a STELLAR deep sea guy and our go to guy for this sort of fishing for our clients. He runs a number 1 hull about 40 ft in length. Capt. Brice told me that the dolphin were a ways out but in good sizes. Just past the wall (23 miles) or so look for the birds and weed. Gaffer fish to 25 lbs. with a mix of Wahoo. Good Times..
To Book Capt. Brice Call Island Genn at 1-888-362-3474 or email her islandgenn@me.com

NOTE!!! If you are looking for a fishing charter in the Florida Keys and not in Key West check out our Florida Keys Fishing Web site.. Here you will find guides and charters to suit your needs..

Thanks for visiting and checking out the report. Be sure you take a look at Island Genns Blog The Key Wester to help you plan your vacation here in Key West, Florida.

Key West Fishing Report 8-2010

Hot Temperature and Hot Fishing

permit

Summer time fishing in Key West has been GREAT!
August 6, 2011 by DrCatcher

The crew here at Dream Catcher Charters has been busy, busy, busy. Inshore, offshore and our family fun fishing charters.

Inshore Capt Kyle K. and Chris C. of Dream Catcher Charters fishing aboard their Yellowfin 24 bay boats powered by Mercury Verado 300′s have been reporting waves, not singles but waves of bonefish mugging them on the flats while in pursuit of tailing permit. These guys are very responsive to a shrimp tipped jig eating well. According to Capt. Sparky he landed a fish on Friday that was well over 7 lbs. Capt. Kyle has reported two releases of NICE sizes upper slot snook.

Shark fishing has been a main staple of fun for folks looking or an easy way to latch on to a 300 lb behemoth and get a hard fight in. Sharks are everywhere lately very close to Key West. The shark watching boat that takes tourists out to view sharks that came on line last year here in Key West uses copious amounts of chum to bring them close to the boat. This is a boost to the numbers of large sharks we are seeing on the flats close to Key West. I suspect These sharks are getting programed to stay in that area for constant feedings. We have been fishing sharks here out of Key West daily for over 15 years and never seen the numbers we see these days in these areas. Good for our trips though.. we don’t have to go far to get a guy to live the dream catching a huge shark.

Offshore things have been interesting.. I was out yesterday to the West and found that the cleaner the water got the slower the fishing was. We made it to about 20 miles of the Dry Tortugas. As the tides changes and water clarity diminished the bite came on and gave us a stellar box of nice Mutton snappers and Red Groupers all coming to about 30lbs of filets for our dinner tables. Fish Fry at my house.. NICE….

August is a great month for fishing the Key West area. We have trips for inshore, offshore, backcountry and flats fishing here at Dream Catcher Charters. Check out our web sites and see what we have that might be fun for you.. We encourage all ages, skill levels and thrill seekers but we have only one requirement our anglers have fun!

Thats it for this week. We have some seriously cool stuff coming up for Dream Catchers in the coming year we will be excited to tell everyone about soon enough..

Happy Mothers Day

Here in Key West the winds are calm, looks like summer is here. We are high 80′s and variable making it very calm on the waters.

I have been fishing offshore mostly and the boys are holding down the inshore trips very well.

Inshore flats fishing the tarpon are all over the place. Permit are back on the flats and the bonefish are back in town. Whats more.. We have been catching redfish, still, this late in the spring. I do believe we have a new fishery on our hands.

Wrecks and reef we have been hooking up on some nice groupers, mutton snappers, and some permit. fun times

Gulf fishing for tuna behind the shrimp boats is red hot right now. Black fin tunas.

Offshore. the trolling bite is great.. the dolphin are large in scattered weed lines at about 700 ft. not too far to run for some fun times and its not too freakin hot yet.

May is a very busy month for us here at Dream Catcher Charters. Its all happening here for the sport fishing person. Call us to book a trip.. 1-888-362-3474 to get on one of our Mercury Verado powered Yellowfin bay boats or 32′ Center Consoles.

Key West Tarpon 2011

Key West Tarpon Fishing Report February 8th 2011
by DrCatcher

Key West Tarpon
Let the games begin……
Key West Tarpon

Tarpon Fishing Key West
I am announcing that starting this week it is tarpon season. Yep, the tarpon are here in Key West, Florida.

The past few days have been incredible weather wise. warm winds from the south brought our water temps up about 4 – 6 degrees. Bait is everywhere and the tarpon were chewing.

We had an exceptional sunset session the other night trying out the new Go Pro video camera and some seriously light tackle. Big fun to be had with the flat calm conditions and many, many, many fish in the backcountry.

Light tackle and live bait is the game right now for tarpon. With the exception of the occasional North winds and some lingering cold front we should be in pretty solid for some great tarpon action from here till at least July.

Book your tarpon fishing now with us here at Dream Catcher Charters. Get in with the best group of fishing guides in Key West and see what kind of fun Key West fishing is..

Call our offices at 1-888-362-3474 Speak To Island Gen about your needs.

Key West Tarpon 1-2011

It’s January. The 3rd to be exact. Here in Key West a summer weather tarpon fishing window has appeared this week.

tarpon in the boat

What does this mean?

Possibility of some tarpon here in Key West. Don’t go calling your bookie yet. Understand that this may not happen. I think that there is a good chance if the weather stays like this for the next couple days. We are IN.. The beasts will be here and ready to eat.

For the last couple days South easterly have been prevailing bringing warm air and water from the Atlantic basin. The next couple days are calling for oily calm waters and warm temps as the few front on their way are falling apart.

Book a tarpon fishing trip in Key West this week? Well- thats up to you. I wont guarantee it but they may be here and ready to eat. I would definitely make sure you book a well rounded trip and guide that can offer something else if the Silver King is not here and ready.

We have a regular cast of local little guy tarpon here this week already and they will show  a good time. But many of you have been calling for the big guys of spring.. I am just trying to keep you updated… Boats are out this morning- An interim report may follow stay posted..

Call My Office and Speak to Island Gen For booking details, rates and schedule. She can help you with all things here in Key West.

Good luck and Bow…!!!
