About Your Trip

Head offshore to the colorful patch reefs and wrecks of the Lower Florida Keys for a reef fishing trip targeting a wide variety of hard-fighting and great-eating species. These trips combine beautiful scenery with steady action while fishing some of the most productive reef systems in the Keys.

Depending on the conditions and season, potential catches include Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Black Grouper, Kingfish, Amberjack, African Pompano, Barracuda, Bonito, Cero Mackerel, Cobia, and Bull Sharks.

Fishing techniques may include bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, spinning, drift fishing, and heavier tackle applications depending on what’s biting best that day. If offshore conditions become rough, trips may shift to bridge or backcountry fishing to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

You’ll fish aboard a 24’ Aquasport Tournament Series center console powered by a Suzuki 300 and equipped with Simrad electronics, live bait well, fish box, Bluetooth stereo, and all the essentials needed for a productive day offshore.

All bait, tackle, rods, reels, fishing licenses, water, and fish cleaning are included. Whether you’re hoping to catch dinner or simply enjoy a day on the reefs with family and friends, this trip delivers a classic Lower Keys fishing experience.

About Your Guide

Tony P.

Independent Guide

Captain Tony grew up fishing the waters of both New Jersey and South Florida, spending summers along the Jersey Shore and winters exploring the fisheries of the southeast coast, southwest Florida, and eventually the Florida Keys. His passion for fishing started early after landing a large Striped Bass from the beach as a kid, and he’s been obsessed with the pursuit ever since.

Now based in Big Pine Key, Captain Tony spends his days guiding anglers through the backcountry, bridges, reefs, and offshore waters of the Lower Florida Keys. His background fishing both northern and southern fisheries helped shape his approach as an angler, giving him a deep appreciation for the strategy, conditions, and techniques involved in targeting different species.

Captain Tony enjoys fishing with anglers of all skill levels and especially loves introducing kids and families to fishing in the Keys. His goal is to create a fun, approachable, and memorable experience where guests can enjoy the water, learn techniques, and create lasting memories together.
