Last month I posted about my Florida Keys daytime swordfishing excursions about the Permit out of Marathon, Florida.
Daytime swordfishing was rather new to all of us during our first few trips and though we did learn a lot, no actual fish were caught. We enticed a few hits, tore up some baits, and also acquainted [...]

Florida Keys Lobster Mini-Season
We are on the brink of another Florida Keys lobster mini-season and US-1 is flooded with tourists trailering their bug-hunting vessels into town.

Just this past weekend I watched two manatees lounging in my canal- enjoying a lazy Saturday and probably thinking that it was way too hot to do anything else that afternoon (I don’t blame [...]
It’s a Tuna!!!
Now, by no means am I an expert when it comes to the subject of identifying fish.
I can tell you the difference between a Spanish mackerel and a cero mackerel, or a black grouper and a gag grouper, but test me on the different species of shark, or the multitude of colorful fish you’ll catch [...]
