August 27th 2014 Key West Fishing

The dog days of summer find us dealing with day time temperatures in the nineties with very little breeze on most days. Water temperatures are hot and fishing is a bit of a challenge. Offshore, a few Dolphin remain but we are far past the peak of the season. Skip Jack Tuna, a few Blackfins and the occasional Billfish round out what’s available in the deep water. On the reef we have had a very steady bite of Grey or Mangrove Snapper for the last 6 weeks, that action is finally slowing down. On days with decent current; Yellowtail, Cero, Various Jack species, King Mackerel and a few Grouper are keeping rods bent.Blackfin TunaYellowtail Snapper schoolEddie's AJDolphin catchGrey Snapper
