Key West Fishing Charters with Capt. Tony murphy
Greetings from Key West! Hello from Capt. Tony Murphy with Key Limey Charters. Thank you for your interest in my Key West Fishing Report and Fishing in Key West and the lower keys!
We hope everyone is having a great Holiday this year!
With the year coming to an end, the winds seem to want to calm down a bit and give us some better days of casting. The only thing is we will be seeing another cold front bring temps down to the low 60’s with some nights hitting the 50’s. This will push Bones and Tarpon out into deeper water for protection from the cold.
Good news is with just a little sunshine, Permit will still be hungry and will venture onto the flats looking for food. The Cuda bight will be your best shot in all of the backcountry until a slight temp increase happens.
Remember to keep your fly moving fast as this will entice a bite. Barracuda’s can be a great fight on fly or spinning reels as they love to make long powerful runs on the flats.
Hope everyone has a great New Year!
The reef continues to hold an abundant amount of bait. Yellow tail snapper, mutton snapper and a number of other species have all been hot as of late.
Live Bait will be best, but many types of scented plastic baits do just as good. The cooler water and northern winds will continue over the next week or so. Be mindful of the weather when venturing out.
See above fishing reports for relevant information.

Key West flats fishing – It looks like May will come to a close as one of the best stretches of good weather in years. The winds continue to be unusually mild for spring, averaging 2-6 mph for most of the month.
