6/30/2015 2 Comments 1 For 3Steve, Mitch and Larry decided to do an evening shark/tarpon trip after fishing offshore with us yesterday. Things started pretty slow but the tide turned about an hour into the trip and after catching a couple sharks the tarpon showed. We went 1 for 3 with Mitch catching the one tarpon. Nice evening with great people.

6/29/2015 2 Comments A Long Way Larry and his grandson Mitch caught the two big ones today (Steve , Mitch's dad didn't want his picture taken with the big fish).
We found a few schoolies at 25 miles but it wasn't until we were heading home and back at 21 miles that we caught the 2 bigger ones. Lots and lots of sub legal fish with a few legals mix in. Too far to go and not find better fish. 6/27/2015 0 Comments What Happened?Yesterday was about as good as it gets, today was difficult. We caught a few schoolies and turned loose a lot of small ones and that was it. I saw two OK catches on a couple other charter boats out of whale harbor but overall it was a tough day.
I will be out again on Monday and it will be a new day. 6/26/2015 0 Comments Pati The MateCouldn't find anyone to mate on an evening trip this evening so I talked my wife into going. We had 3 generations of Norwegians on board and caught 1 out of 2 tarpon, 2 barracudas and 2 sharks. They had a ball and Pati did great running the boat (when needed) and entertaining the youngster (needed a lot ). Another successful outing on the KK.  6/26/2015 0 Comments Awesome Day With the MahiHad 6 folks from the west coast of Florida that did a great job today They didn't break a single fish off and we caught a bunch, including a 20 pounder a quite a few gaffers. Found a piece of debris at 18 miles that was loaded with fish and topped it off with the big one on the way home. Another great day on the KK !!  6/26/2015 0 Comments Lots Of MahiAshley and Will caught this 20 pound mahi along with 19 schoolie mahi today on the KAY K IV. Seemed like most of the other charter boats found plenty of fish also and everyone hopes the good fishing will continue thru the rest of the summer season.  6/24/2015 0 Comments Evening Shark TripPictured is Dan and his daughter Em catching a shark. We jumped 1 tarpon off and caught 7 sharks on our evening trip. Dan's son Andrew had the tarpon on but pulled the hook on the second jump. Dan's wife Ann is already planning return trip for next year.  6/24/2015 0 Comments Half Day With the YellowtailsClay, Ray and Colin caught 25 yellos this morning on our half day.

We did find one 20 pounder around noon which Beck did a nice job of catching.  6/21/2015 0 Comments Another mahi DayWe were in fish all day but unlike the last couple days there were a lot of small fish and fish that didn't want to eat. Picked a few out of each school until we found a small pack of decent ones. Got out over 25 miles and was about to make the turn for home when I found a piece of debris that had a good number of nicer fish Ended up with a nice catch for my folks from the Fort Myers / St Petersburg area.  6/20/2015 0 Comments Limited out AgainHad Tom, Doug and Rick again today and once again we caught our limit of nice mahi. Great guys, good weather and lots of nice fish. Doesn't get any better!  6/19/2015 0 Comments Limited out on MahiTom, Rick Doug and Joe returned to fish with with me again for the 24th year. We didn't stop finding fish all day and actually left a nice school after catching the last 2 for our limit of 40. Only had to measure a few with the rest being all solid schoolies, heavy lifter and gaffers. Will do it again with the guys tomorrow  6/18/2015 0 Comments Tournamentlooked for a big mahi today but didn't find one.

We decided to stay close because the wind is up and because mom loves yellowtail. They will be back again next year to fish the kk.  6/11/2015 0 Comments BetterFound a couple pieces of debris today that had a lot of nice fish on them. Didn't get most of them to eat but still had a nice rack of mahi and additional caught 2 wahoos along with 8 blackfin tuna. Greg, Liz, Sarah, Ryan and his brother all did a great job keeping things untangled and said it was the best fishing trip they've ever been on.  6/10/2015 0 Comments Mahi And PorgiesLots of small mahi again today with all the boats struggling to put a catch together. We caught a few regular schoolies early but after that it was 100s of undersized fish so I decided to go deep dropping. We caught Porgies, yellow eyes and grouper but even that could have been better. Tomorrow's a new day and a fresh start.  6/9/2015 0 Comments 35 LbsThere are a lot of small fish out there right now but it's getting better and more nice fish are showing up. We caught this big one late in the day and had another big one on but the hook pulled. My clients today were from Kenneth Square, PA mushroom capital of the world. Sent them home with a pile of filets, mushrooms and fish sounds like a good combo. 6/7/2015 0 Comments A Little slowWe worked hard today to find legal mahi. Lots of small fish most of the day and then at the end of the day when we finally found a great school we could only get 3 of them to eat. Ended the day with a dozen fish and praise from James on how hard we worked to get those. A little frustrated.  Went 1 for 3 on the tarpon this evening, caught 3 sharks and 1 barracuda . We also got smoked by a big bull shark that never stopped taking line. Pretty exciting for our folks from Iowa  6/4/2015 0 Comments Only A MotherAfter catching our limit of mahi we did a little deep dropping and caught this barrel fish ( one ugly fish ). I've only caught a few barrel fish and never eaten one but they are supposed to be awesome. We also caught a snowy grouper and a few other species to go with our mahi  |
