SHARK SEASON NOW!
If you ever wanted to catch REALLY BIG SHARKS this is when it happens.
June 1, 2009 Fishing Report
Right now Dolphin Season is in full swing. There are sailfish around and most days lately we are getting a shot at one or more sailfish but our target species right now is dolphin also known as Mahi-Mahi. Lately there have been a good number of blackfin tuna and if we find something floating there is a very chance of catching wahoo. The yellowtail snapper are also biting very well on the reef if you prefer to do some reef fishing which is a great option for those who only wish to fish a half day. Permit are biting well on the wrecks! The big mean sharks are thick on the Islamorada Hump and are making it hard to get an Amberjack to the boat there. Blue Marlin are sighted every day free jumping when we go offshore fishing and we had two on this week.In business for over 33 years, same boat and same captain since 1976. We offer reasonable rates and a top notch crew. This is not a business owned by some independently wealthy, retired or relocated person, the captain is not a hired hand, this is a professional captain with a lifetime of experience fishing the Keys who owns and operates his own boat. We want to take you fishing, this is all we do, all year, every year. The RESTLESS TOO is a customized 1964 Hatteras powered with twin John Deere diesels (diesels without the smell), top quality tackle and a vast array of modern electronics. You will catch fish! And have fun doing it with our friendly professional crew. Our rates are much less than the typical charter in the Florida Keys but our catching isn't. No one wants to catch fish more than we do! Come get in on the fun! If you need more than one boat for your group we can arrange that too with other owner operated vessels. If you prefer a larger boat (more expensive too) I will be happy to recommend other good captains.

Questions? Send Us MailWe specialize in catching sailfish during the winter and early spring. We use live bait and light tackle. Often we sight fish for sailfish, this means we are not trolling but actually searching (hunting with fishing rods!) for fish swimming and then tossing a bait to them. And sometimes we also catch sailfish that are showering bait. For the thrill of a lifetime come on down to the Keys and get in the best sailfishing you can find in this country. This is an experience you will never forget! If you have never done this before, we will teach you, if you have, we will cater a trip to your skills. When sailfishing we might also catch other species including kingfish, grouper, snapper, cobia, tuna, bonita, barracuda and dolphin. We have lots of dates open for the coming months and we do other types of fishing if you are not interested in Sailfish.
