The waters off Key Largo have been buzzing with activity this week, and anglers are seeing great variety both inshore and offshore. Inshore: The flats are producing consistent action for Snook, Speckled Sea Trout, and Redfish, especially during early morning outgoing tides. Live shrimp and soft plastic jigs are doing the trick. Mangrove shorelines and channel edges have been hot spots, with plenty of keeper-size Snapper showing up too. Nearshore & Reefs: Patch reefs in 15–40 feet of water are stacked with Yellowtail Snapper and Mangrove Snapper, with some Grouper mixed in. A few boats have even reported hookups with Cobia cruising the deeper edges. Chumming heavily and using light tackle is the key to steady action. Offshore: The Mahi-Mahi bite is picking up offshore, especially around floating debris and weedlines about 12–18 miles out. Most fish are school-sized, but a few gaffers have been landed this week. Trolling with small ballyhoo and squid rigs is working well. Blackfin Tuna have also been spotted around the humps early in the morning, hitting vertical jigs and feathered lures. Tarpon Update: Evenings around the bridges have been producing solid Tarpon action, particularly on live mullet and crabs. Patience pays off—these silver kings are active during tide shifts. Conditions: Water clarity has been good, with surface temps hovering around 80–82°F. Light winds and mild seas are making it easy to get out whether you're staying nearshore or heading deep.

Had an amazing time with Captain Pat. We caught plenty of fish and enjoyed each other's company. Thank you, Captain Pat, for a fantastic day on the water.

Had a great trip with Captain Pat. He was very patient with my 11yo high energy, fishing fanatic son. Captain Pat worked his tail off to keep us on fish. When the bite slowed at a spot, we were off to another one. Managed to check off several species from my son’s bucket list…..even kept us out past the trip time to do it. Boat and tackle were very nice. Pat is super knowledgeable and was fun to be around. The marina where keeps his boat was easy to get to, wasn’t crowded at all, had access to a restroom, and had a great restaurant that cooked some of our catch for a late lunch after the trip - it was excellent. Cant wait to book with him again!

What a great charter lead by a very knowledgeable and dedicated person. Captain Pat did everything possible to have my son and I enjoy a great day in the beautiful Everglades. From chasing bait to putting us on a ton of fish. We caught Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Snappers throughout the day . Tons of fun and a great man as well. I would highly recommend him and would go back out fishing with him anytime.

Had a great day fishing with Captain Pat. We did the 4hr patch reef trip. He put us right on a couple spots that were productive for Yellowtail, Mutton Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Bar Jack and Black Grouper. He was very attentive and fun to talk with. Very knowledgeable in the sport. He filleted our catch and we just had a portion of it cooked up at Gilbert's Resort. Delicious! (Forgot to take picture of food before diving in.) Looking forward to the next trip out with Pat. Next time will be...

Book with confidence!!!!!Capt. Pat was awesome!!!!! I am an avid bass angler but like to go out in the backcountry and salt water fish. Pat is definitely one of us. He is not afraid to make long runs if he isn't on fish close. He will jump from spot to spot to make sure you catch fish. Conversation was great as well. Will definitely be using Capt Pat anytime I am back in the Keys!!!! When we got off the water the last day I truly felt like I made a buddy that I will fish with from now on.Great job Capt Pat

Boat was prepared and ready to go captain explained we would try different marks First one produced lots of sea trout with helpful Suggestions on how to work bait then on to snook before chasing mutton snapper again helpful advice. Good day out great way to see the wildlife stunning scenery and catch fish. Captain stopped to assist a boat in trouble which was the right thing to do however he added some time to trip to make sure I still had full time fishing. Recommend you book a trip
