Damn Good Big Pine Key Fishing Charters

If you're looking for world-class sportfishing in one of America's most beautiful locations, then this trip just might be your ticket. This trip will allow you to chase a variety of prized sportfish species, from the ultimate heavyweight, the Goliath Grouper, to lightning-fast fish such as Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Sailfish and others. The species will vary depending on the length of your trip; if you're interested in Sailfish and Wahoo, opt for the longer trip so that you can get out into deeper waters. Nearshore, there's also opportunities to hook up Blacktip Sharks! When these aggressive fish grab the hook, get ready for the fight of your life! You'll be in experienced and professional hands aboard Captain Gil's 34' Crusader sportfisher. This boat is a perfect balance of speed, performance, and comfort that's ideal for offshore fishing. With a 375 HP Caterpillar engine, you won't have to cruise for long before you reach the prime fishing grounds and start haulin' 'em in. On the way, watch the trolling lines for bites from Mahi. Your Captain will be prepared with everything you need for a blue-ribbon day, including top-of-the line rods, reels, bait, tackle, and most importantly, his years of experience hunting champion pelagic predators. To make the most of your experience on the water, make sure to bring polarized sunglasses, proper clothing, hat, and sunscreen. Get ready to have a blast! Read More

The 8-hour fishing trip is personally my favorite because it allows me more time to find out exactly where the fish are and what they want that day. Also, we can run far out to less crowded areas that don't get fished as often. Usually, these areas produce better fishing and larger fish. A lot of times since we have all day I will try to include multiple types of fishing into the structure of the trip. We could run offshore first and still be back with time to finish off the day on the reefs for Snappers and Groupers. This trip is for those who really want to fill the box and experience a spectacular day of fishing. Read More

This is a family trip that goes out on a heading to big pine reef, high speed trolls the ledge or weed lines for Mahi, arrives 21 miles south to snorkel the areas best reef, and can include some yellow tail fishing outside of the park area, a hot spot to load the cooler! My personal favorite trip on the boat, I run it with my family when I can! It takes a nice flat day 10 knots or less wind Read More

This trip heads towards the famous Marathon humps and if weed lines or structure is found, we hunt it on the way out. The humps produce black fin tuna like no where else in the keys. We have been very successful this year on this trip! Read More

Wake up and go fishing! A 4-hour fishing trip is a great way to fish and explore the local waters surrounding Key West. Our half-day trips usually leave the dock around 7:30 a.m. and return around 11:30 a.m. However, this may change depending on the conditions, time of year, and customer preference. Captain John's mission is always to provide the best fishing experience possible with the conditions at hand. His vessel, a 28' center console (built by Latitude Tournament Boats), is a true "hybrid" fishing machine. This means that on a nice day, you can comfortably fish offshore reefs, wrecks, and Gulfstream currents. You also have the option to fish backcountry channels, inshore wrecks, and nearshore patch reefs if the wind picks up. On a full day, we might have the opportunity to target multiple species both in the deep and the shallow. Captain John specializes in light tackle fishing. This means he'll match the rod and reel outfit to the size fish you're targeting to make for the best overall angling experience. If you would like to fly fish, the captain can accommodate you. However, you must bring your own fly fishing equipment. Expect to target Amberjack, Barracuda, Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, and more, depending on the length of your trip. Evening Tarpon trips are also offered. Live bait makes a big difference. Pilchards, pinfish, herring, ballyhoo, and blue crabs are some of the varieties you are likely to find in the livewell. Catching bait is part of the charter, and while it may take some extra time, your captain knows it makes the difference between a fantastic fishing trip and one that's just okay. Your fishing license is included. Bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, a hat, snacks, and drinks. Book your trip and hit the water with Captain John! Read More
