How to choose a fishing charter Captain in the Florida Keys

The bad economy brings out the worst in some people and the best in others. Due to the current economic conditions, the Florida Keys are seeing an influx of people getting into the charter business without bothering to go through all the legal channels or investing in the proper gear. Establishing and maintaining a profitable charter business requires substantial investments - monetary, physical, even emotional. If you are planning to come to the Florida Keys and are interested in charte… Continue

A Soldiers Christmas

A Soldier's Christmas

T'was the night Before Christmas, he lived all alone,

In a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone,

I had come down the chimney with presents to give

And to see just who in this home did live,

I looked all about, a strange site did I see,

No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree,

No stockings by the mantle, Just boots f

Miami father/son catch dinner in the #FloridaKeys

SeaSquared regulars, Alec Rosen and his son Ruben from Miami, had an excellent day on the patches despite a lack of current, counting some 15 species caught during their outing. Their catch included yellowtail, mangrove and mutton snapper and cero mackerel. They also got numerous just-short red grouper and small black grouper, which were released. They took their snapper to Castaway where John prepared it grilled over rice. Capt. Chris Johnson, SeaSquared Charters, 7 Mile Marina, MM 47.5 in Mar… Continue

Recipe: Florida Keys Smoked Fish Dip using amberjack, kingfish or mackerel

Amberjack, kingfish and mackerel are plentiful and the reef right now. Catch 'em up and get smokin'! A heavy-duty mixer or food processor makes it easier to break down the fish into a spread-like consistency, but elbow grease will work just as well. The sweet flavors added by the roasted red… Continue

Fishing for greater amberjack open and thriving in the Florida Keys

Unexpectedly and without notice, the National Marine Fisheries Service has closed the greater amberjack fishery in Gulf of Mexico federal waters from October 24 through December 31, 2009. They claim an established annual recreational harvest quota has been met. However, fishing for amberjack in Atlanti… Continue

Florida Keys Adrenaline Rush

Ryan DuVernay, co-owner of 7 Mile Watersports in Marathon, knows how to get an adrenaline rush, but he had a hankering to try his hand at sharkin' so we set out from the 7 Mile Marina on an outgoing tide to test a new spot in about five feet of water just off the 7 Mile Bridge. Less than an hour after coloring the water red and baiting it with a smorgasbord of irrestible shark treats, our first guests arrived in the form of stingrays. Close behind on the buffet line were bonnethead and nurse sh… Continue

Successful Fall Bass Fishing

Okay, I have been doing the usual lately. Fishing and reading. Every time a new season rolls around I check out fishing articles on the particular season. I have read several on fall fishing and they all basically talk about the same thing. The fall feed. Yes, the fall feed is great, and yes we can always take advantage of it as bass feed up for the winter ahead, but it does not always promise easy or fast fishing. Sometimes fall can produce some of the toughest days of the year. Hopefully with… Continue

Sharin' Adventures in the Florida Keys!

Catch-and-release shark fishing in the calm, shallow waters off the historic Seven Mile Bridge in the heart of the Florida Keys is great excitement for novice and experienced anglers alike. It is especially a great way for families to get out on the water and bend a rod together. Most kids exclaim it's way better than playing video games! Here's a sharkin' video from some of my trips: http://bit.ly/heYqg Continue

I love the smell of Jet fuel in the morning..God bless our troops

This is a REAL letter!!!!!!!!! Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there long before they were. A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall. When that individual read the response from a Lu… Continue

Casting a Fly

The goal of FLY FISHING is to “Perpetrate the Fraud”. The fraud is using an artificial fly and the perpetration is presenting it to the fish in a manner that looks real and natural. First UNDERSTAND that in fly fishing, you are not casting the fly, as it is virtually weightless, you are casting the Fly Line. this is why you always match the weight of the Fly Line to the weight of the Fly Rod. Newcomers to Fly Fishing always seem to be enamored with the false cast. They see pictures of someone w… Continue

Center Hill Lake, May 2nd- 4th

Just spent some time on Center Hill Lake in Tennessee with my dad and step dad. We had a good first night on Saturday night catching several good size smallmouth bass. The rain kicked in Saturday night and caused the lake to rise over 10 ft over night. The fishing the next day was hit and miss. We caught a few small largemoth bass and some brim and 1 catfish. It rained all day. By Monday morning the water had risen another 10 ft. The rain had slacked off some so we ventured out not really knowin… Continue

Fishing reports...

So... how's the fishing everyone? Our bass fishing is now in the post spawn. Still some great fish are being caught though. There's been 4 ShareLunkers taken out of Conroe this season. The lake record was broke w/ a 15.93 lber and a new record for black bass caught on a fly rod was just set as well w/ a 6.40 lber. Haven't taken a break from the bass fishing yet to catch any catfish, crappie or whites but I've heard the fishing is good. W/ all the carp and gar we've been watching.... I think I… Continue
