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!
The summer weather has crept in. Next week will have variable winds in the 3 to 17 mph range.
Monday through Friday the forecast is calling for single digit wind, with Sunday creeping back up to lower double-digit wind. The forecast is calling for sun, and no showers through the weekend.
Feels like early summer. Low to moderate winds early in the week and tapering off towards the end of the week. Temperatures look to remain in the 80’s for the next 6 days or so!
The weather seems to have finally made a change toward normalcy with high 80’s most of the next 2 weeks. The winds will still be averaging 3 to 14 mph with most of the week having single digit wind, but that is good for this time of year.
Captains have been reporting small groups Tarpon starting to migrate through the lower keys. Bonefish have been a pleasant surprise with many fish being caught as the water temps rise.
Look to find most Bones active on a tide change later in the day when the suns had a chance to warm the shallows up. Permit have still been quite slow this time of year. There have been some permit around, but as always they can be picky and elusive.
The large Cudas are still very busy on the flats even with the warming water. These guys are a great challenge on fly or light spin gear. Remember to get the fly moving fast to get their attention. They love live bait!
Wishing everyone tight lines and fish boatside!
