This fishing adventure with Captain Spencer out of Key West provides you with endless opportunities! Whether it's fishing the backcountry of the Gulf of Mexico, chasing fish in Key West Harbor, or fishing the reefs on the Atlantic side, Captain Spencer is ready to do it all. Captain Spencer prides himself on customizing his trips to his client's goals so let him know what your ideal day looks like in the days leading up to the trip and he will plan it out! The beauty of the Florida Keys, and especially Key West, is that there is such a variety of fish to catch. You can explore the backcountry for Redfish, Snook, Bonefish, and Mangrove Snapper; anchor-up on a channel in Key West Harbor to target Sharks, Cudas, Jacks, and Tarpon; or hit it out to the reefs for a myriad of grouper and snapper species, permit and even target Sails under the right conditions! Captain Spencers 25' Pathfinder is extremely versatile in this regard shallow enough to maneuver the backcountry and local grass flats, and sturdy enough to handle the light chop of the open ocean. This vessel can accommodate 6 guests, however, Captain Spencer prefers to fish with 4 or less. Captain Spencer can also make accommodations to pick you up from many places around Key West. If you are staying somewhere with water access let us know and Captain Spencer will try to accommodate picking you up from your location. Read More

What's better than Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys? Doing it twice in one day! Whether you want to spend a half day or a full day hunting these "Silver Kings," the highly-rated Captain John has you covered. Hop on his 24' Yellowfin and chase the first biters in the morning, and if that's not enough, stick around for more prime-time tarpon fishing at sunset! Tarpons have become the most sought-after game fish in the Florida Keys. This mammoth migrates up and down the coast filling up the bridge passes and backcountry waters. Tides, weather, and moon phases play an essential factor in a Tarpon’s behavior, but these kings are always hungry, biting on both live and artificial bait. We recommend going after these fish between March and August. Your adventure will begin at the dock as Captain John explains what you can expect on your trip. No detail will be left out or question unanswered in order to make your trip exciting, educational, and memorable. Be sure to bring any beverages or snacks you might need, and Captain John will provide everything else. Read More
