Key West and Lower Keys

Summertime and the Flats Are Fishing Great! The fishing has improved during the past week or so with the weather finally becoming seasonably fair with afternoon chances of thunderstorms. The winds have been calm or light out of the ESE or variable making the fish very happy on the flats. Today we had at least 20 good shots at permit and 10 or more good shots at Tarpon. We also had some decent shots at Redfish and Bonefish. Summer fishing in the Lower Keys and Key West can be great on both the Gulf and Atlantic side flats.This past 2002 Tarpon Season will go down in the books as the "Year of the Baby" in more ways than one! We caught and released alot of Baby Tarpon like the one pictured here with Alex Allen.And Capt. Dexter's newest angler, his son Harrison, checked in at 9 lbs., 10 ounces on March 22, 2002! Now that Capt. Dexter is teaching flycasting non stop this summer to his son Harrison, it is a good time to plan a summer fishing trip with your son or daughter! Our Father (Mother) - Son (Daughter) Key West Flats Fishing Camps are scheduled for July, August and September.
