Groupers, Snappers, and Sharks

Lake Atlantic

It has been calm this last week. Every angler waits for days like these. No white knuckling, bumps, spray, just a wide-open throttle to get to the fishing grounds. As always, the bad that comes [...]

Mahi Coming Over the Rail

It has been a very busy year and all indicates it’s going to stay busy.  Usually august and September are our slow months here in Key West.  This year already we have 3/4 of august [...]
