About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Ryan to see what fishing the Florida Keys is known for: its Gorgeous and Bountiful backcountry, flats, and inshore waters! The 4 hour half day trip involves fishing the backcountry and inshore waters near and around Key West. You will usually stay within 9 nautical miles of the dock. The average depth of water is about 12'. We can target Tarpon, sharks, snapper, jacks , barracuda, Cobia and permit depending on time of year.

Sometimes, you may want to extend your stay on the water to a 6 hour trip. There are spots that are just a bit too far to be hit on the normal half-day trip that you can explore. More time on the water spent can equal more time reeling in the big ones!

Captain Ryan grew up along the river banks of the Rappahannock River in Virginia where he spent all his free time fishing for Bluegill and Bass. During his younger years he spent most of his summers in Boca Raton, Florida where he learned how to fish the salt. By age 10, Ryan was consistently catching 100+ lb. Tarpon and his love for the sport of fishing blossomed. Fast forward ten years to age 20, Ryan...
