May 1 grouper season opened in Florida. We have some great spots to catch all of our grouper species, additionally Blue Line tile fish opened, so deep dropping is something we do while we are offshore looking for mahi and tuna.

Offshore Mahi Fishing is picking up here in Key West. When we offshore fish for Mahi or tunas we also typically hit deep drop spots to pick up bottom species like Vermilion or Yellow Eye snappers, Snowy Groupers and Tile fish

Spring is here and the fish are arriving in force! One of the many fun types of fishing available in the Keys is the evening tuna bite. Though tuna can be found throughout the day, the closest thing to a wide-open frenzy occurs just as the sun goes down. We troll small baits, extra fast and far back. Multiple simultaneous hookups are very common. It’s fast, furious and doesn’t last long, but the great-tasting, hard-fighting blackfin tuna are a blast on light tackle! Most of the captains don’t market evening trips, but can consider adjusting times upon request. Regardless of...

    Trip: Dry Tortugas Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had an absolutely unforgettable day on the water with Captain Mason! Our family of six—ranging from more "seasoned" to children—was treated to a private fishing excursion that truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the Mason made us feel completely at ease. He was incredibly accommodating, making sure each of us was comfortable, engaged, and having a great time. Whether it was adjusting for the kids' needs, helping with baiting hooks, or offering fishing tips to the beginners among us, his patience and positive energy never wavered. What stood out the most was how safe and inclusive he made the entire experience. Every member of the family felt like part of the crew. He kept a watchful eye on everything while still creating a laid-back, fun atmosphere. We never once felt rushed or out of place—just fully present and enjoying every moment. He also went above and beyond in every possible way—from extending our time a bit when the fish were biting to showing us local wildlife and secret spots only a seasoned pro would know. It truly felt like a one-of-a-kind adventure curated just for us. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly, and expertly guided day on the water. Can’t wait to book again next time we’re in town!

    Everything about our trip was outstanding! The boat, the Captian, Captain Carlson was fantastic. He wanted fish for every one of us on the boat even more than we wanted to catch! He worked so hard to load the boat and that we did!!! One of the best charters I have even been one. We all can’t wait to come back again and do it all over again!

    Captain Anthony was awesome! Great with the kids and adults alike. The weather wasn't cooperating on our trip but he still managed to put us some fish even if wasn't our target for the day. I would fish with Captain Anthony again anytime!

    We had an absolutely amazing time deep sea fishing with Captain Anthony! He is a fun and knowledgeable fisherman with LOTS of experience and great stories (ask him about how he’d dive for lobsters to impress his dates). He does all the work but lets you learn and participate as much or as little as you want. We knew we had an expert when we heard the radio chatter of all the other guides complaining that nothing was biting, while we pulled in six (only four mahi in pic). The other two were a small tuna and a ~32” barracuda). We highly recommend Kilo Whiskey Charter & Captain Anthony!

    Our guide Nick is top notch, he is friendly, knowledgeable and certainly knows great spots to fish. We caught fish all day, brought home three very large mutton’s, some other mutton’s and good size yellow tail. We caught and released fish all day, hogfish, large groupers and other assorted fishes. Thanks Nick .

    We had an amazing time with "Off the Charts" charter and Captain Joe was fantastic! He has a very easy going, friendly personality and it was easy to see he aims to please his customers. He was also extremely patient with my kids and seemed to enjoy teaching them some of his fishing techniques. While my boys have been fishing their whole lives, this was their first time trolling. They loved every minute, especially reeling in their fist Mahi Mahi! I was very satisfied and would highly recommend him for your fishing adventure. We may have just been another charter family for him, but he will live infinitely in our Key West vacation memories!
