kayak flight Beautiful Days - Rough Fishing - Summer Doldrums

Sunday was too nice a day not to be out on the water. Decided to launch directly from Key West and head straight out to the reef. The waters were calm and the skies clear so it was a beautiful day. Unfortunately the fish weren't cooperating and had to work hard just for a few Yellowtails. Oh well, at least I spend the day on the water.

Key West News:
Lower Keys

Hey Everyone, welcome back to the Lower Keys fishing forecast for this weekend. The forecast is calling for light winds all weekend, but there is good chance of rain on Saturday. It’s starting to feel like dog days of summer around Key West; a lot of hot weather and light winds. Fishing has slowed up this past week too. The offshore fishing has not been great, there have been a few chicken dolphin around, but the dolphin bite overall has been mediocre. There were a few wahoo caught around this past full moon, but I would think that will only get worst as we get away from the moon. The reef fishing this past week was difficult with wind against tide conditions, but with the wind dropping out this weekend, it may be better fishing along the reef. If you do go out there, make sure you have some good live baits and drop them to the bottom to catch the big mangrove snappers.

The backcountry fishing has been much better than the offshore and reef fishing. We haven’t seen too many big tarpon around, but there is still some juvenile tarpon chasing small bait schools around the mangroves. This is a great time of year to target bonefish and permit on the flats. If you targeting bonefish, small jigs tipped with live shrimp will work best for them. If your targeting permit, use a small hook, baited with a small live crab. Both of these fish can be super finicky, so make sure your moving slow and try to make as little noise as possible as you approach them.
