Being married to a fly fishing guide, I hear a lot of fishing talk. And one thing that comes up a lot is casting technique and what it takes to…

Just about everybody who comes down to Key West wants to do some fishing. What many people don't know is what type of fishing they want to do. Yes, there…
September is a notable month for inshore fishing. The flats are alive with baby tarpon, bonefish, and permit, although there are many other species available as well such as sharks, jacks, barracuda, snook, redfish, and jack crevalles. Typically this time of year though avid flats fisherman, both spin and fly fisherman, tend to visit our area for the trifecta of tarpon, bones, and permit. I have to say that the Dream Team is doing a great job with their clients at it too.
So it is fall and the temperatures have dropped, if only very slightly, and the flats fishing game is on full speed. Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit all around. Even with good numbers of fish around this time of year, these are some of the most challenging fish to catch. It is almost like a hunting trip, stalking the fish silently as your guide poles you down the flat.
Inshore is the name of the game this week. Tarpon fishing has been very good and offering our anglers at Dream Catcher Charters a nice start to an early morning during the shrimp hatches. Up on the flats things are solid with a great report of Permit fishing with Capt. Kyle here at Dream Catcher Charters fishing with Kevin Kelso. They landed a very nice 25++ lb permit on live bait just West of Key West.. Shown here. You can call Dream Catcher Charters directly at 1-888-362-3474 for a fishing charter.
Offshore the blue waters are way out and offering a long boat ride to some awesome dolphin fishing on flat calm days. Some fish in the 25 and 30 lb range are found along the weed lines. If looking for a deep sea fishing charter we recommend you book a boat for the long haul or the full day. Go fast center consoles are also available for a fast attack to the deep waters for 4 or less persons. Call Island Genn here at The Keys To Key West and she will help you get on the right deep sea fishing boat. Her number is 1-305-292-7212. (more…)
