Redfish in the Lower Florida Keys

The Lower Florida Keys have never been known as a hotspot for redfish, but some careful hunting in the right places can give you opportunities. I particularly like to fly fish for them since they are generally willing to respond to a well-presented fly. For reasons I...

Fishing the Great Barracuda from a Kayak

by Randy Morrow | Mar 27, 2019 | Fishing

Barracuda are quite common all year in the Florida Keys, but what makes the winter period so interesting to us kayak anglers is that some of the largest specimens will come in to super shallow water to warm themselves. I’ll usually pick a sunny day, with warming water...

We Got Some Reds Down Here, Too

The Lower Florida Keys aren’t really known as a hot spot for redfish. And for good reason. There are a plethora of spots in Florida that hold many more reds than our waters down here. Still, we have had some in recent years, and while I’m out in my Jackson...

So my phone rings and its an inquiry about my guide services. The voice on the other end is female, professional, and inquisitive. It turns out that this young woman, an attorney by trade, has a boyfriend who recently discovered the joys of fishing. In particular,...

Permit and Reds

Wow! Had one of those really fortunate days with the fishes recently. In the first hour on the water I landed 2 redfish (25″ and 26.5″) and a permit (29″ fork). Had shots at big cudas but couldn’t close the deal. Then I found a pair of big...
