Hi this is Capt. Mitch with Reel Chaos Charter with your Saltwater Fishing report for Key Largo on Friday April 1st.
We have had another beautiful week here in the Florida Keys. The wind has really been blowing this week, but we have been fishing everyday and catching lots of fish.
Glad to see the end of March, means we are that much closer to Tarpon season. I have been seeing a lot of Tarpon this week along the islands and shore lines of the upper Keys.
The wind has been blowing so hard this week that we actually caught 2 sailfish in Adam Cut on live pin fish and jumped off one Blue Marlin. Amazing to see these fish in 6 feet of water. Okay, just kidding, April Fools:-)
Now, for the fishing report, Again this week we started out with a fantastic catch of very large spotted Sea Trout.
The water temperature has been 77 to 80 degrees and the big Snook and Tarpon has really started showing up.
The bite has been a little tough on the Snook and Tarpon with the high Westerly winds that we have had this week, looks like it will carry thru the weekend. And lets hope that things start to calm down
There has been a lot more Redfish again this week, and the big Jacks are in the back country, even the Sharks have been hiding in this west wind.
Lets hope April brings us calmer weather and let’s get to the Tarpon fishing.
