Tails Up Fishing Charters - Key Largo/ Flamingo
Greetings fish fans. The fishing out of Key Largo this past week has been just like the weather, absolutely wonderful! Sunny and 80 degrees is MY kind of February weather.
We have done very well on the ocean side patch reefs with mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, black grouper, blue runners, and also some very healthy Spanish and cero mackerel. If you want to experience some light tackle angling, it doesn't get much better than this. The mackerel family are very fast fish and will certainly have you listening to your drag scream.
In the back country, between here and Flamingo, we found all kinds of action. On Friday I was joined by Ken Babcock from Galveston, Texas. We caught a few redfish, quite a few sea trout, and 40 snook. Of course there were some other fish in there too, like jacks and ladyfish, but the main thing was the snook bite. I found an area where the fish were holding on a point, facing into the tide, and they were just chewing the paint off of a chartreuse Hookup jig. My hands are still sore from releasing all of those fish. On Saturday I had the pleasure of guiding Bill Teegarden and his wife from Sandy Springs, Georgia. Once again we caught trout, jacks, ladyfish, redfish, and around 20 snook. Most of the snook were between four and seven pounds. Great fun on 10 pound line. On Sunday we stayed fairly close to home and put together a real nice bite of trout, jacks, and ladyfish with Jay and Rhonda Schehr from Detroit, Michigan. I got an email from Jay on Monday telling me that they flew home to 14" of fresh snow. Yipes! So…if you're getting cabin fever or just plain tired of the cold weather, come on down and see me. I'll show you a fun time on the water.
Until next time, good tides and keep the Sun to your back. ><)))>

SeaSquared Charters - Marathon
Amy Kasper and Dan Pseno fled the Chicago winter to spend some time in Key West. They drove to Marathon to fish with SeaSquared and a pair of our regulars joined them - Frank Tansley from Beachwood NJ and Jim Sollecito from Syracuse and Marathon.
Conditions were a tab bit on the bumpy side, but the beautiful thing about fishing in Marathon is there's always someplace to go for good catching. I took this group to the Seven Mile Bridge and they proceded to put the hurt on the mangrove snapper.
They had no trouble catching their limit of nice size mangroves in the 15- to 16-inch class and probably threw back an easy 100 more keeper size fish. Dan and Amy took their fillets back to Key West to enjoy and the rest of the fish was feasted upon at Castaway Restaurant in Marathon.
Dan emailed us saying , "Amy and I had a blast fishing!! Chris did a great job!! Hanging out with everyone was a good time."
