Post Irma-geddon

By Steve | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 22 October, 2017 | 0

For those of you wondering if the Keys are still a viable vacation option I wanted to let you all know we are open for business! While everyone has been affected somehow by one of the largest storms ever to pass by our pristine waters, I am truly amazed at the turn around. Most ofRead more

#Wermit

People often ask me about the eating habits of the wiley permit. Most often, I tell people that live crabs are almost unfair when in pursuit of one of the flats most prized sportfish. But they’ll eat almost anything they can chase down. Live shrimp, crabs, small fish, and…worms.  The Palolo Worm hatch causes anRead more

Motors Meetings & Maintenance

Hello fans and fishermen. It’s been about 6 months since my last update. They say you can’t change the past or predict the future, but I’d like to reflect and speculate a bit on both. First, the reflection. Last year I welcomed Capt. Eddie to the AFG crew. His steady flow of fishing knowledge andRead more

Meet Capt. Eddie

By Steve | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 19 May, 2016 | 0

Since the last AFG update, we welcomed Captain Eddie Yarbrough to the fishing team. Starting in early 2016, he has kept busy running trips out of our 22 foot Maverick Pathfinder bayboat. Capt. Eddie has lived and fished in south Florida for over 20 years. After a long career in the corporate world, Capt. EddieRead more

2015 IWFA Light Tackle Tournament

By Steve | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 23 October, 2015 | 0

Worth it. What do you get when two days of a 3-day tournament are called off due to weather? A one day rodeo featuring a bonefish catch worth bragging about and two tournament awards, that’s what. For two days, winds ripped over the Florida Bay at more than 30 knots. For safety’s sake, the womenRead more

Triple Tails

By Steve | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 9 October, 2015 | 0

A trio of permit under water Triple Tail? The fish by that name is a prized offshore catch that sports a hearty fight and is tasty too, if you choose to keep it. But a trinity of permit certainly boasts its own special level of bragging rights! My triad of anglers Michael, Dave and ShaunRead more

Too Busy To Blog About It

Fall is a funny time for a fishing guide in the Keys. The breakneck pace ebbs a bit, and I have time to get friendly again with all the land-loving facets of my life. Dock duties are essential, for re-rigging and repairs. But a day on the water with clients is a dollar in myRead more

Winter and the Bonefish

By Steve | bonefish, florida keys, Islamorada, Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 29 January, 2015 | 0

Dave from Colorado came into town for a few days recently to get in some much need bow time.  He brought a quiver of fly rods and reels and had tied up some very tasty looking flies. Dave actually spends most of his time tying flies. As a matter of fact, that’s what he does–heRead more

Clouded Over

By Steve | fishing, florida keys, Islamorada, permit, Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 2 October, 2014 | 0

Mutton snapper caught while permit fishing On a recent half day trip the weather was pretty ideal for the most part.  We had some decent sunshine, light and variable winds and good tides.  After finding some nice bonefish but failing to get them hooked up, I decided the tide was right for looking for someRead more

Summer Tarpon Fishing

By Steve | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 5 August, 2014 | 0

I often hear some of my inquiring anglers say they heard there were no tarpon around because it’s not “Tarpon Season.” This implies that tarpon are only around the Florida Keys in May and June.  This is simply misleading.  The annual migration of tarpon throughout the Keys generally occurs in the spring months: March, April,Read more
