KEY WEST FISHING CALENDAR
-  JANUARYGreat fishing for Barracuda, Jacks, Sharks. Also very good for Ladyfish, Seatrout, Cobia, Redfish and Snapper. Decent Permit fishing later in the month. 
-  FEBRUARYLarge migratory Tarpon begin to show up mid-month, weather permitting. Permit fishing picks up and Bonefish make appearances on nice days. Barracudas and Jacks provide fun regardless of weather. 
-  MARCHPermit fishing begins to peak. Large Tarpon reliable on nice days. Bonefish return to the flats in good numbers. Great Barracuda and large Jacks anytime. Weather permitting Night Tarpon fishing. 
-  APRILPermit begin to leave mid-month for offshore spawn. Big schools of large Tarpon come inshore and feed voraciously. Bonefish become excellent midday targets. Night Tarpon fishing. 
-  MAYAs good as it gets! Trophy Tarpon 'lay-up,' in shallow water and make for the most exciting fishing of the season. Bonefishing only gets better. A few Permit make a return appearance. Night Tarpon fishing. 
-  JUNETarpon continue to make a big push into near shore waters. Permit return in a big way. Bonefish begin to invade the flats in good numbers and become very reliable. Night Tarpon fishing. 
-  JULYExcellent fishing for all species. Stable weather and few boats make for an excellent shot at a 'Grand Slam.' Low incoming tides in the morning or evening make for shots at large schools of big bonefish. Night Tarpon fishing. 
-  AUGUSTGood Bonefishing, good Permit fishing. Tarpon fishing, but I would suggest fishing early in the day or late afternoon can be excellent for NightTarpon. 
-  SEPTEMBERSame as August 
-  OCTOBEROne of my favorite months to flats fish. Cooler October weather brings Big Bonefish out of deeper waters and Permit fishing also gets better. Tarpon fishing early or Night Tarpon. 
-  NOVEMBERWonderful Bonefishing and Permit fishing. Night Tarpon too. 
-  DECEMBERSame as November up to mid-month. Then for Christmas, we get Redfish, Sea Trout, Cobia and Monster Barracuda begin to invade the flats following the winter bait fish.
