Due to a late cancellation I have one week during prime Tarpon and big 40lb + Permit season. As we have taken a deposit for this week I can discount at least 25% on are normal prices. This is a one off as we are normally booked up well in advance as Tarpon seem to…
During this winter Florida Bay has had vast shoals of Spanish Mackerel and with the mackerel come the shark. One of my favorite shark is the Black tip these shark jump run and just don’t want to come in. They rarely go over 100lb so you can use light gear and have max fun. We use…
One day last week we woke up to flat clam seas so with are normal what to do breakfast meet offshore was the call. As I have said before our boat is just as happy 30 miles offshore or in 12in deep on the fl;ats. Also 4 to 6 ft seas are no problem but most guests prefer clam…
One trip last week I took Carol and Paul to an area in Florida bay know as the bomb holes. During the second world war a long runway was built at Marathon and many bomber crews were trained here. The crews would fly out to the middle of the bay drop one bomb then as it…
Still after running the fishing holidays for over 7 years I smile when a guest gets a big and I mean big fish. The other day was no exception, Carol and Paul are on their second trip but decided to come on there own to have total control, no problem. My local diver friends gave me a mark…

As I said in the last blog its good when a plan comes together and we did it again. We are lucky at Fish the Dream to have a boat that can do it all as they say. This week the boat has been on flats less than 2 feet, edge of the reef in…
As Hannibal said in the TV show i love it when a plan comes together and we had one that did. We are having a low key week and trying out some new spots and methords. Despite fishing here for over 12 years still finding new marks and methords the fun of the Florida Keys….
A strange one this. While exploring yesterday Martin landed boxfish. There are several familiar species, all wear their skeletons on the outside [ covered by skin ]. The tail and fins coming out side like a tortoise. Martin caught one on holiday with me in the Bahamas a few years ago and we tried it…
Last few thoughts on SKA event at Key West. Some people ask how do they get the somewhat large boats to all the events in different states. They just tow them and a 900 hp 31ft boat needs a big truck and trailer. For those of you who like your trucks they do them big…
