Key West fishing charters are one of the specialties of the Southernmost City, and the guides here know how to pull lots of fish from the ocean, day after day. That’s why Key West is a top destination for salt water sport fishing, whether it’s fishing Dry Tortugas, anchoring up on the flats for some bonefish, or running to the reef for some grouper and snapper. Of course that doesn’t cover all the types of Key West fishing charters! There’s tarpon fishing, back country fishing, shark fishing, and overnight trips where you catch anything and everything.

The easiest way, and also the way you get more discounted prices, is to book your Key West fishing charters online. This way, you have time to look into the types of Key West fishing charters available at the time of year you’ll be visiting. You can also plan different excursions on different days. Why not try flats fishing in the morning for a half day one day, then night fishing for sharks another day? And one of the most pleasant types of Key West fishing charters is tarpon fishing in the evening.

Tarpon can start up feeding at dusk, so an evening charter is the perfect way to end your day, viewing the sunset on the calm skinny water, waiting for the tarpon to bite.

Key West fishing charters that go offshore will target more species, like tuna, marlin, wahoo, mahi mahi, and whatever else the captain spies out in the deeper waters. Head out to the Gulf Stream for these pelagics which also make good eating. Have the mate slice you up some wahoo steaks for the grill later that day, and you have the perfect day in Paradise!

For Key West tuna fishing, book a charter trip on an offshore boat that leaves in the morning. Get these at Garrison Bight or Historic seaport, or on Stock Island. For discounted prices on Key West tuna fishing trips, book online in advance of your trip. The boats for Key West tuna fishing are large and usually have a big cabin. The cabin offers a comfortable place to ride, with AC, cushioned seats, and beverages. Since Key West tuna fishing is done way offshore, in order to get to the deep water, you will appreciate the comfortable place to ride!

Tuna are strong sport fish, and the tackle is heavy. These are some of the most exciting fish to hook, because they seem to be made of pure muscle, and will run like the dickens to get away. The crew on the Key West tuna fishing charter you go with will help you gear up and instruct you if you need it, and get you to pull those bad boys up to the boat. Bring a camera, since you’ll want shots of these tuna- something to help you remember your awesome Key West tuna fishing excursion.

Key West offshore fishing takes you beyond the coral reef out to the dropoff and beyond for big game fish.  Catch marlin, tuna, cobia, mahi mahi and anything else cruising the deep waters near the Gulf Stream.   Let our Key West fishing guide service hook you up with an offshore boat for a thrilling day of deep sea fishing.  It’s just about thirty minutes for some of the faster boats to get out to the dropoff, about six to seven miles to get to 150 foot plus water.  In other words, Key West offshore fishing boats spend most of the day fishing, and they get you to the deep water fast.

Once out in the deeper water, your offshore boat will troll for mahi mahi and the other deep water species.  If you’re targeting sailfish or King Mackerel, you’ll use a balloon or kite.  “Running and Gunning” is looking for floating debris and then throwing live or dead baits at it.  This way you can catch dolphin or triple tail.  Deeper under floating debris is going to be Wahoo, jacks and other big fish.  A big score out there in the deep water is to find something like a floating wooden pallet, used in warehouses.  The longer it’s been in the water, the better.  That’s because it will have had time to grow a nice healthy crop of marine plants, barnacles, and other food items that attract small fish, who also flock to debris like that for cover from larger fish.  Once you get the garden and the smaller fish, you’ll get your mahi mahi following it to eat the fish.  And underneath, there could be anything!

There are several techniques used by the Key West offshore fishing guides, and you can bet they have lots of tricks up their sleeves for hooking salt water game fish!
