He will provide all the finest gear from Penn and Shimano but also encourages you to bring your own gear if you'd like to land a big one on your own supply. All you'll need to bring is hat, Sunscreen, non-marking shoes, and a good pair of sunglasses … (Captain Mark asks that you please Do Not bring Spray Sunblock) You'll be heading out aboard his 21ft Mako which is a super fun boat to explore the open water in. These trips can however be dependent on the weather. If there is some serious chop, he may recommend staying closer to shore to target Snapper, Grouper, and others! Some days the weather is not ideal for the scheduled trip, but good for another type of fishing. Captain Marks goal is to provide the most enjoyable day on the water possible. Read More

Head out with Captain Alex for an action-packed day of fly fishing in the Florida Everglades! The grass-ridden Everglades have great year-round fishing and are home to many of the prized fish that Florida is known for. On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Alex will take you on a scenic trip to the inshore flats around the Flamingo Marina at the tip of the Everglades, where you'll be fly fishing for sought-after fish including Bonefish, Permit, Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon. Part of what makes fly fishing for these species so exciting is the challenge of getting such elusive fish to bite. Accurate casts are almost always required, and the windy conditions of the Florida Keys only add to the challenge. While Captain Alex is happy to give you helpful instruction to accommodate your skill level, this trip is recommended for experienced fly fishers who go out on the water more than a few times a year. Captain Alex has a listing for this same trip with traditional rods and tackle that we recommend for those who aren't quite expert casters, and we guarantee it's just as much fun! For those experienced anglers who feel comfortable enough with their fly casting, Captain Alex outlines the skills you should have down with in his "About Your Guide" section. He also requests that anglers do some research on the aspects of fly fishing for Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit prior to this trip. Captain Alex is highly skilled and even the most experienced anglers will benefit from his instruction. It may take a bit of practice, but as Alex will tell you there's nothing more rewarding than landing one of these fish! You'll be aboard a 17' Maverick HPX-V with capacity for 2 anglers. Powered by a 115 HP Mercury engine, this maneuverable boat will have no problem letting you creep up and sight-cast on some fish even in hard-to-reach waters. It comes equipped with GPS, a Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box to store your catches. Captain Alex will even clean any keepers you catch to take home for a tasty meal. Captain Alex will provide all rods, reels, tackle and fishing licenses. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, and any food or drinks you might need. Come aboard with Captain Alex and get ready to show off your skills! Read More

George will provide all the rods, reels, and licenses, to cooler space, ice, and waters, so all you need to bring are your favorite snacks and drinks, weather appropriate gear, and a camera to document your catch! Whether you'd like to sit back and wait for the reel to start screaming, or if you want a rod in your hand the whole time, Captain George is there to make sure you catch a pile of fish and have the best possible time doing it!

Duck Key Fishing Overview

There are more than a few options for charter fishing in Duck Key. Located about halfway down on the Florida Keys island chain, Duck Key is in an excellent location for all types of fishing. The average temperature in winter is around 65 degrees, so the bite is on year-round. You can have your choice of battling a Tarpon in the bays, stalking Bonefish in the flats, trolling bluewater for Mahi-Mahi, or deep-dropping for Swordfish, Duck Key fishing charters have something for every group.

Duck Key Inshore Fishing

The city of Duck Key is situated on 13 islands that are separated by inlets and channels. Within and around these islands are miles of flats, smaller islands, sandbars, and canals for you to explore with our Duck Key fishing guides.

Needless to say, there are plenty of places to fish in Duck Key. This vacation destination is so attractive because of its year-long warm weather, which means something is always in season. Starting in the early spring, the "Grey Ghost", or Bonefish, make their way into the flats and bays around Duck Key and stay all summer long. Shortly after when the water warms up just a tad more, Tarpon, or "The Silver King", invade the bays and channels around the islands.

Once the Snook bite picks up just weeks after the Tarpon typically arrive, you'll have all you need for the Inshore Slam - or add a Speckled Trout for the Inshore Grand Slam. Once the Snook and Tarpon leave town, Permit and Pompano arrive, so the bite is on all year long!

Duck Key Deep Sea Fishing Charters

In addition to being an inshore powerhouse, Duck Key's location on the Keys island chain puts it in a prime spot for some serious offshore and deep sea fishing tours. Just like the inshore fishing, something is biting in the deeper waters around the islands year-round.

For the angler who prefers reef and wreck fishing, there are plenty of artificial reefs, sunken ships, and other shallow-water structures that support a biodiverse tropical fish community. These trips are perfect for half-day family trips, as you are pretty much guaranteed to catch something. Year-round the reefs are teeming with life, from Kingfish and Spanish Mackerel to Grouper and Snapper variants.

Further offshore, the bite never stops as well. In the winter months, deep sea trips for Sailfish are productive. Come springtime, the Marlin and Swordfish begin to show up in the bluewater depths. Throughout the summer and fall, Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin, and Blackfin tuna can all be caught on deep sea charters.

Popular Types of Fishing In Duck Key

The most common types of fishing charters in Duck Key, Florida are offshore, reef, and backcountry fishing charters.

Offshore fishing charters take you out to the deep waters of the Gulf Stream where you can catch big game fish like marlin, sailfish, and tuna. Reef fishing charters take you to the coral reefs where you can catch snapper, grouper, and other reef fish. Backcountry fishing charters take you to the shallow waters of the Florida Bay where you can catch bonefish, tarpon, and permit.

If you're looking for a Duck Key fishing charter, some popular landmarks that the charters visit include the Seven Mile Bridge and the Curry Hammock State Park.

No matter which type of fishing charter you choose, you're sure to have a great time and catch some amazing fish in the beautiful waters of Duck Key.

    Had a most excellent time. We were scheduled for an offshore trip but wind and waves caused us to cancel this trip. However, we rescheduled for later in the day for a tarpon fishing excursion. This was a blast ! We saw sharks up close and landed several yellow jacks which gave us a good fight before being returned to the water. After trying and trying (never give up) we snagged a good sized tarpon. After a good fight which included multiple boat maneuvers it was brought to the side of the boat before being cut loose to fight another day. We thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with the captain and first mate. Both were very attentive to us, making sure that our hooks were still baited and that we had all the help required for landing and documenting our catches before returning them to the water. A great time was had by all! The boat was immaculate and we had no issues if any sort.

    We had a great full day trip with Captain Chris. Chris really helped my wife with his patience and encouragement fight big fish in deep water and use lighter tackle at the shallower wreck. She landed nice yellowtail, yellow jack, mackerel and amberjack. Chris worked hard all day keeping us in fish and rigged as the shark tax was high though the morning. At the end of the day we got great local restaurant recommendations and tips on cooking our catch. Loved the boat playlist! Highly recommend and hope to come back to fish with Chris again.

    Great work Captain Phil. Had a good time on the boat and caught fish all through the 8 hour day. Even when the bite slowed down captain phil ran all over to get back on the bite.

    Damn great time on the water with Ben. He was willing to quickly adjust to last minute changes (remember, when you are replying to messages from Captain Experiences they might not get to the guide you are using through them). Ben got us into multiple species of fish using various methods of angling. When our time was up, we had a few "keepers" that Ben filleted up for us. It was a perfect day on the water. Thanks for the great time Ben and, more importantly, thank you for your service to our country! DO NOT HESITATE to book a trip with Ben.

    We truly enjoyed our fly fishing trip with Capt GW. His boat was clean and comfortable and Capt GW was very personable and knowledgeable. We had some tougher conditions with wind that allowed him to give me so much needed help and encouragement on techniques to help my skills. But alas, no adrenaline moments of catching backwater fish, just the adrenaline of trying to make the right cast in the right spot. We saw a great deal of sea life as an addition to the friendly camaraderie, and that was a bonus.

    We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a fishing charter with Captain Brad and his shipmate Miles, and I must say, it was an experience to remember! From start to finish, the trip was filled with excitement, laughter, and, of course, some great catches. First and foremost, Captain Brad's professionalism and expertise were evident from the moment we set foot on his well-equipped boat. The vessel itself was top-notch, complete with all the necessary fishing gear and even a bathroom—a luxury rarely found on fishing charters. This attention to detail immediately put us at ease and set the stage for an enjoyable day out on the water. Now, let's talk about Miles—what a gem! Not only was he incredibly friendly and personable, but his sense of humor added an extra layer of fun to the trip. Whether he was cracking jokes or teaching me the rules of fishing, Miles's presence truly enhanced the overall experience. It's clear that he's not just a shipmate but also a valuable member of Captain Brad's team. As for the fishing itself, we couldn't have asked for a better outing. Captain Brad navigated us to all the right spots, where we were able to reel in some impressive catches. His knowledge of the local waters and fishing techniques was evident, and it made for a successful day of angling. In summary, my fishing charter experience with Captain Brad and Miles was nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a novice looking to try your hand at fishing, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Brad. You won't be disappointed! Happy fishing! Todd & Paige
