November has Started off strong here at ShadowCaster. Live bait fishing continues to be the key to success, although we still are throwing and catching a bunch on artificials. Our shallow water barracuda fishing is heating up as the water temps cool and they are a blast on our homemade tube lures. Jacks, mackerals and of course tasty snappers are on the shallow water rock piles and channels throughout the back country. Early morning Tarpon are still a thing and will be before and a fewe days after a cold front. Our trips are customized to your desires, often targeting multiple species in just a 4 hour trip.

Both fishing and weather have been absolutely awesome!!!! We are catching Tarpon regularly and that is a great thing to see, as it is off season. Also been catching a lot of tasty Mangrove Snapper!!!!! Live biat has been the key to success and we pride ourselves on always having the freshest you can get. These pics are just a few of the fish we have caught this October so far.

October Fishing in Key West is the official change of seasons for what we Target. This is the ‘Variety” Season. Meaning, we target everything from 100lb Tarpon to 3lb Snapper and everything in between. We target all these species with live biat, dead bait, artificial lures (hard and soft plastics). The Fishing in Key West changes hourly due to tides, temps, weather, wind, lighting, etc. And we always have the proper bait and tackle for the current situation.
