About Your Trip

Key West provides the unique ability to target the tarpon migration in Key West Harbor. This trip is offered from (roughly as the migration does fluctuate) March 1- July 31. This trip is centered around fishing-specific times and tides in Key West Harbor and other areas surrounding Key West.

If chasing the Silver King is what you're after book know to get out there with the best!!

During this trip, there are many other fish that you can catch in the harbor as well. Some of them are; cobia, permit, bonefish, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, red grouper, black grouper, gag grouper, sharks, barracudas, jacks and many other species.

Captain Spencer's 25' Pathfinder is the perfect boat to fight from when doing battle with these overgrown prehistoric minnows. The vessel also has a full tower which optimizes your fishing opportunities to spot and sightfish the Tarpon as they roll, not to mention score bait easier. She 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.

Captain Spencer is a Key West native, a 5th Generation Conch, he was born and raised in Key West, FL. He has spent over 30 years fishing and boating the waters surrounding his hometown. Captain Spencer's great-grandfather, Captain Ted Canova, was the original Captain of his charter operation in Key West.

Captain Spencer attended Key West High School before going off to college at Florida State University. Upon graduating he returned back to Key West to continue his life on the water.

Captain Spencer now owns and operates his own charter business out of the Lower Florida Keys. The vessel is a 25 Pathfinder Hybrid bay boat with a full tower and is powered by a Yamaha 300. This vessel provides you and Captain Spencer with the ability to fish a variety of species in both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean sides of Key West.

Captain Spencer likes to focus on live bait fishing but also fish both dead baits and artificial baits. His fishing techniques follow the fish and weather patterns to provide you with the best chance of landing your trophy catch. Whether it is targeting Tarpon during their migration through Key West Harbor or bottom fishing for Snapper or Grouper he can do it all.

Captain Spencer will go over your expectations and provide you with seasoned input to make sure you can capitalize on your time on the water down in Key West!

Spencer picked us up as scheduled. Boat was extremely clean and well prepared. We were fishing for tarpon and had a wonderful time. Hooked into multiple fish and had one giant. Spencer was amazing overall and would absolutely do it again. Couldn’t recommend him more.

My husband and son had nothing but great things to say about their trip! “Best trip ever” per my son. They were able to catch a 40+ lb grouper! They loved every minute and said Spencer was super knowledgeable! Worth every penny for the experience!
