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.

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: Key West Mixed Bag Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Our Charter Boat Captain Antonio was very knowledgeable and professional regarding his handling of the boat and setting up our group on fish. It was 4-hour charter that went by fast. Once we settled into an area where we could catch fish, Antonio worked to keep us catching, and provided excellent guidance as each fish was landed. His patience was appreciated as I had my daughters on this adventure and it there first time on a fishing charter boat. I highly recommend Antonio if you are looking for professional boat captain that is young and eager to ensure that you get the best experience possible for the money!
