Firstly, a Happy Christmas and a Good New Year to all our past, present and future customers at Fish the Dream. I hope I’ve made a few dreams come true and I’ll do all I can to make new ones come true. Weather – back in the UK this sucks big time! Never seen so much…
Strange title for blog, but with the recent cricket scores from down under and yet another new weird and wonderful fish, I put my research hat on. Great to see Dave, Leslie and Stuart again for their second trip this year and Brian, another regular, came with them. During a windy day we found ourselves…
It was good to see the Keating brothers at last this year. Their first trip this year was cancelled due to the ash cloud. Mixed feelings about this, but I suppose unlike a boat or car you can’t just pull over. Back to the Keatings’ trip, like I have said before the first few trips…
Last week’s guests, regular Eric Muench and friends, achieved a new boat PB. We have always been lucky with tiger shark, catching more than our fair share. Most captains in the Keys only rarely see tigers but we catch may be 4 or 5 a year, but Eric topped this with 3 in one trip….

Hi all, Sorry sorry yet again for the long time between blogs. No excuses, just a mad summer back in the UK for our hurricane break. Took Helen for her annual pilgrimage to see Andrea Bocelli in Tuscany and being registered disabled Helen gets to go free. Top marks, Mr Bocelli. I even managed a…
Sorry yet again for the long delay between blogs – tarpon season just crazy. One party nearly killed me with just short of 90 hrs guiding for the week, and when you add on boat preparation, rods and bait, it’s a long week. John is doing a great job running Fish the Dream at the…
Wow! What a week! Despite fishing here for nearly 12 years and running Fish the Dream for more than 6 years, some weeks blow me away. Neil, a regular from Ireland, came with 3 newcomers and what a week they had, starting with a giant sawfish in the 700 to 800lb range and taken just…
As I said in recent blogs, 2010 has been a strange year in Florida with the coldest start to the year for over 100 years. At Fish the Dream we have been lucky with a boat that’s not restricted to the bay or flats and is just at home 30 miles offshore where we have…
