Mid August fishing report for Key West deep sea fishing. The weather has really improved as the summer goes into one of its hottest months. The winds are out of the East these last few days and the thunderstorms have been few and short. August has shown us a good bit of business taking folks out deep sea fishing Garrett and I have been busy on the INXS.
Usually this time of the year we are busting ass to get offshore to the really deep water way south of Key West to catch some 20 – 24″ Mahi mahi in larger numbers. Looking for long weed lines or items floating that will hold schools of mahi.. Not these last few trips. So hard to break the tradition of heading offshore really far to catch mahi for our people. Early last week we had gone out there, not seen any grass or fish for that matter, we even found some nice large floating targets that were void of fish. Then come back in shallow to hit some nice fish in some pretty random spots. So, after that we adjusted our attitudes and never left 300ft of water these last few trips but really ran a good ways down the reef to catch some nice 10-13lb mahi (dolphin), garner some sailfish activity and jump a white marlin. It was helpful to live by the saying “dont run over fish to find fish.
We are fishing more this week coming up starting tomorrow but things are starting to slow down with bookings as everyone is raising a weary eye toward the tropics as things heat up there.. Looks like we may have a 50/50 chance at a major storm event around the 26th of August according to some of the computer weather models long range forecasts. This keeps things easy for last minute bookings for some great deep sea fishing on our 47 Ft Viking INXS. I will update here in this report to let folks know what we see. We certainly don’t want folks to come to Key West if there is a chance of a hurricane.
