Current Report
Key West Fishing Report -
June 2006
Hot, humid, and sticky the
weather finally looks as if
it is going to cooperate.
Yes, the low temperatures
with 66 degrees at night and
northwest winds may have
been comfortable for a nice
walk in the park but it has
not been a walk in the park
for Tarpon fishing.
The month of May was full of
crazy weather. However that
is all behind us. This is
summer time in Key West. We
need that wind out of the
South to get the Tarpon to
turn on, and turn on they
did! The A/C is on high, and
if you don't think that's
hot... the other day my
angler while he was fighting
a fish told me that his eye
balls were sweating...
That's Hot!
So the Tarpon bite is in
full swing and we are very
glad to pass along the good
news. Last night we jumped
11 tarpon from about 50 lbs
to about 120 lbs in just a
couple of hours time. The
following night the same. So
that should be the norm from
here on out. And for you
worm freaks, the "worm
hatch" started on the 27th
and yes, the Tarpon were
nuts. Plugs, flies, and soft
baits are all getting good
results. Just make sure that
you and your gear is in top
shape because you are in for
a pretty good workout.
What else is going on?
I am still surprised to see
a large amount of big cudas
on the flats. At this time
of the year they usually
head for the deeper water.
There is a very large
number of bait this year
sticking around. So I guess
it's safe to say that
this must be keeping them
fat and happy on the flats.
Sharks are very plentiful -
Lemons, Blacktips, Bulls,
and the occasional
Hammerhead are around in
good numbers and of some
pretty good size. Permit and
Bones are happening. Keep in
mind that we are coming in
to our rainy season, but if
you experience a quick cloud
burst, it is usually short
lived and once the
visibility returns, you are
back in the game.
We still have a few dates
available towards the end of
June and the first 3 weeks
in July. So check your
calendars and come on down
for some great fishing.
