January Jacks

It was the nicest day in a week and Jimi and I were out there. The water temp was 66-68 deg. We caught some nice ladyfish and tons of big jacks on fly.
These jack pull hard!

January fishing in Key West

I had a great day on the water with Christina and Jeff from St. Louis.

It was cloudy so the sight fishing was tough but we got into some jacks, barracuda, ladyfish, and mangrove snapper.

We also had a shot at two big cobia on the edge of a flat. Wow!

It was a nice windy day in Key West today

 

Here is some GoPro footage I shot.

 

Season Change

It’s changing to winter time fishing out on the flats. On cold front days we kite or tie flies. On the warm days we fish. The day before thanksgiving was a hot on. 85 deg. air and 80 deg. h2o.
I saw a school of 50lb tarpon rolling in 4 feet of water over white sand.
It never ceases to amaze me at the cool things we see out there.
Yesterday was 80 and the water 73. Wind was around 10 knots.
We has shots at tarpon and permit. We caught sea trout, ladyfish, and jacks. Today it was 65 and windy in the am. I went offshore to the reef (five miles offshore) and surfed waist to head high waves with two buddys. It was insane. 70 degree crystal clear water over a 3 foot deep reef. We all caught tons of waves and had a killer time.
Key West it awesome for anything related to salt water.
I don’t know what tomorrow will bring but I’m sure it will be fun.

Kiting with my Bros

It’s been windy and we have been kiting like crazy.
Here are some pics of Aaron and Lenny in the back country.

Just another day on the Flats

Today was a wind day. We all hit the flats to kite.

What Flats Guides Do In a Tropical Storm

We had a big wind and rain event over the weekend.  It blew up to 30knots and rained close to 15 inches in four days.  The fishing was not happening but the kiteboarding was killer.  I was back on the flats today out east in the backcountry fishing hard with two super cool hard core anglers, Tony and Drew.  The water on the flats has dropped 10 degrees from the low 80s to 72.  We saw some bonefish and had a few shots.  They were moving around fast and hard to see.  It looks like the cudas are starting to show up un the flats with the cooler water and we saw a jack on a stingray.  I could not find the permit today.  Here are some shots of the kiting last Sunday.

 

 

Waterspout

It's pretty insane to be this close to a waterspout

 

I was out late this afternoon with Bill again and we had good shots at permit.  Then it started to rain with the sun still out and  we were running to a new spot when I saw an insane waterspout.

Enjoy the photos.  We were way closer than it looks ing the photos.
