About Your Trip

On a normal fishing adventure, we fish with frozen or live bait combined with chumming the waters. If sight casting and using artificial lures is more your pace, get your arms ready for casting and cranking at a variety of species. When planning your trip to Key West, it is important to remember that it is an island 130 miles in the middle of the ocean, weather conditions are constantly changing from day to day. Our team monitors the weather on a daily basis and will always provide our best guess for when weather is ideal for certain species. If being seasick is a concern, there are countless areas to catch fish around the islands and in the backcountry, where the waters remain calm due to the average water depth of 1 to 6 feet. The shallow waters also offer great opportunities in the event that weather makes offshore fishing obsolete. There is always fish to catch in Key West, no matter what the weather throws at us! We can also help you schedule the time of year relevant to the species you would like to target. I can accommodate everyone, from the most

skilled fisherman to helping teach your kids how to properly bait a hook! This is an excellent trip for those who want to experience what catching fish is all about.

About Your Guide

Landon J.

Independent Guide

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida Captain Landon has devoted his life to being on the water. From his first memories to his most recent, he can normally be found with a fishing rod in hand. His family summer vacations were spent in Key West where they were always fishing, lobstering and exploring the islands. It was always the highlight of his year spending 2-3 weeks on the islands.The older he grew, the more frequently he made the adventure driving from Tampa down to the Keys, always calling it his "Home Away From Home". For Captain Landon, the goal has always been clear, to show others the amazing wildlife he fell in love with and give families those same lifelong memories that he will forever cherish. His love and enthusiasm towards Key West and its waters is truly contagious!
