trip description for The Florida Keys Inshore Experience in Key West

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.

More time on the water spent can equal more time reeling in the big ones! Read More

    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.
