Spring Fishing Report By Capt. Chris Mendola:

Fishing in the Florida Keys in the spring time is at its prime. There are so many different species of fish you can target this time of year. On the reefs the Snapper and Grouper are biting cut bait and live bait along with schools of spawning Permit and Jacks. 

Offshore you will find loads of Mahi Mahi, some Skip Jack Tuna, Wahoo under floaters and weed lines and Swordfish (SEE THE VIDEO BELOW) on the Continental Shelf. Tarpon fishing in the channels nearshore the month of May and June is a must do as well.

Customized trips for SCUBA diving, spearfishing, and snorkeling are also available and a great way to avoid crowded dive boats.
