The
Atlantic Ocean is Key West's playground for deep sea fishing.
Without knowing what will come up snagging the trolled baits, skimming
along the crystal clear water offshore, is exciting to say the least.
Throughout the year, the Keys enjoys numerous migrating fish which
keep the captains on the water every day. Help the captain search
for signs of fish activity. Look ahead for diving birds, weed
lines, and color changes. This ensures you to land the fight
of your life from a Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Cobia,
and King Mackerel, to name just a few.

Have
you ever made a cast to a school of feeding bonefish, or stalked a tailing
permit? How about fly fishing for a daisy chaining tarpon,
or doing battle with the most feared of the ocean going predators, the shark
or barracuda? Key West has
the much deserved reputation of having the finest flats fishing found anywhere
in the world. Whether
you are spin casting in the back country
Snipe Keys, or fly fishing in the far western atoll known as the Marquesas
Keys, you will enjoy the challenge of light tackle sight fishing. You can
catch them all: tarpon, permit, bonefish, shark, and barracuda. You could
even be lucky enough to catch the grand slam. Can you imagine catching
and releasing a tarpon, permit, and bonefish all in the same day! I've
seen it done. Key West is also loaded with the fun fish. Jack cravalle,
bar jack, ladyfish, snook and redfish roam the clear, pristine water in
and around the flats of the Lower Keys and Key West

Key West has hunderds of wrecks to choose from. Both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are loaded with wrecks holding several species of fish. Atlantic Wrecks are usually from 100' to 400' in depth.
You are able to fish the surface of the structure for Tuna, Wahoo, Kingfish, Sailfish, Bonita, Baracuda and a variety of other Game fish. The most common and productive way to fish the surface is with live bait. We will also drop live bait and jigs to
the bottom to catch Grouper, Snapper, Amberjacks and Yellowjacks. This type of fishing makes for a mixed bag and it is not uncommon to catch a dozen, or more, different species in a single day. Gulf Wrecks are more shallow and can also provide non-stop
action for anglers. Gulf wrecks hold Permit, Cobia, Snapper, Gag Grouper, Baracuda and the very powerful Jewfish(Golitha Grouper). The Gulf is excellent to fish in late February, and only gets better in March, April and May!

West is home to one of the third largest living reef in the world.
It inhabits many different species of fish: Yellowtail Snapper,
Mangrove Snapper,
Mutton Snapper, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Yellowfin
Grouper, King Mackerel, Cero Mackerel and the great Baracuda. The
Reef is an excellent place to find the best table fair, and non-stop
action. When Reef fishing, we like to anchor up on different areas
of the reef and use ground up chum and live bait. If you decide to
try some reef fishing you WILL NOT be disappointed.

Shark fishing in Key West can be the most exciting fishing around. With a
wide variety of species including bull, black tip, reep, mako, hammerhead
and more, you their is no such thing as a dull day. Imagine the rush from
fighting a 200 pound bull shark in three feet of water. Trolling offshore,
off wrecks, or even in the flats on a fly rod are means of cathing your trophy.
