Key West Fishing Report

We at the Saltwater Angler wish you a warm and sunny welcome from our little slice of Key West paradise. Thank you for your interest in our Key West Fishing Report for Fishing in Key West and the lower keys! 

 

Greetings from Key West!

Saltwater Angler has the information for flats fishing in Key West. Very light to almost no wind and afternoon rain showers have settled in this week. This is very typical this time of year so getting out on a flats boat, kayak or even a paddle board makes it possible to hit the flats. 

 

The back country continue to bring in good size schools of Bonefish. Many captains are reporting 8-10 lb. fish. The tides are always key to finding the Grey Ghost. Timing the right light of the day with the incoming tides are key. Just about any shrimp or small crab pattern will work. Is all about presentation. 

 

Permit are still showing up on the flats in good numbers too. Crab patterns matching the right bottom color will help you get a shot at these spooky fish. Snapper, Cudas and Jacks are a great alternative to the more difficult fish and can make for a great day on the flats. Look for these fish closer to deep water pockets next to mangrove islands. 

 

As far as Tarpon go, most of the larger migratory fish have moved north. But many of our residential fish in the 25-60 lb. range can still be found tight to mangrove nursery’s holding a lot of bait. Early morning is still your best time to catch these guys when feeding at first light.

Key West Offshore fishing reports – The light winds and calm seas have allowed just about all sizes of boats to head offshore these few weeks. This should continue for the next week or so. 

 

Nice size Dolphin are being found offshore lately. Some Wahoo have started showing up as well. As the off shore bait starts to show up so should the Blackfin Tuna. Remember to look for good weed packs and feeding birds.

We wish you tight lines and fish boat side from the staff at The Saltwater Angler!
