Although yellowfin tuna pass through the waters of Key West most of the Tuna fishing done is for Black Fin tuna. Most common method of fishing for black fin tuna would be trolling but other methods are used also. One other method would be jigging over one of the deep water wrecks that are south of Key West, this can be a very productive method of fishing. Fishing behind shrimp boats is also very popular but it is very seasonal and often requires long runs in the gulf. The shrimp boats dump their bycatch of small fish , crabs etc that are caught and killed while netting shrimp over the side and larger fish such as tuna come in to get the free meal.

Key West Tarpon Fishing

May fishing is one of our best months in Key West Florida. Tarpon fishing in our Key West Harbor has been phenomenal, we are hooking plenty of Tarpon using dead and live bait. Permit our gathered up in large schools on our natural reef, we site fish for them using live crabs on a jig. Our snapper and grouper have been staging up on the rising of the full moon. We consistently catch plenty of yellowtail, mangrove and mutton snappers in the day or night. May is one of our best months for the larger migrating Dolphin fish, several fish in the 50+ lb range have been taken in the past few weeks. Thank you
