Give me those August or September days in the Keys, when the yellow-tailing is fast and runs to the humps and bluewater are easy. Typically that’s time for Floridians in the Keys, when the majority of visitors come from in-state for a week or two, some towing boats, to enjoy lower room rates, less crowded waters, lobstering, dolphin fishing and yellowtailing. Despite being the dog days, there are five targets that are still hot and peaking these months and they are all Keys to the core: yellowtailing, mutton snapper fishing, lobstering, swordfishing and deepwater bottom fishing. It’s not that we don’t get this stuff elsewhere in Florida, but just that, for the most part they’re all a bit more…ah, let’s just say, accessible in the Keys.
After the biblical rains…
