Well, if you came to the Southernmost City for some awesome sport fishing, you already know that Key West fishing is totally out of this world! Fishing here is nothing like fishing on lakes, or fishing where there’s no coral reef. We have clear water, reef, flats, and deep ocean water fishing, making Key West fishing among top reasons people come here on vacation.
Reserve several days for fishing, at least one day for each one of the exciting ways to catch fish: flats fishing, reef fishing, and offshore fishing. All types of Key West fishing bring in game fish that give a good fight. Better hit the gym and give the old muscles a boost before you fly down to Key West…you will definitely get a workout pulling in the fish here. From tarpon on the flats to grouper from the bottom and snapper near the reef, all the fish are strong and give lots of action.

Grouper Caught in Key West

Hire a guide who specializes in the type of Key West fishing you want to do. It’s especially important to have a guide for fishing in the backcountry, otherwise known as flats fishing. He or she will take you to the right spots where bonefish, permit and tarpon are known to roam. The guide can spot the fish and help you throw the bait correctly.

For offshore and reef fishing, expect to fill up your freezer with wahoo, grouper and snapper, or mahi mahi, mackeral or tuna. All these are not only wildly exciting to catch and reel in, they are super delicious as well.

We know that if you’re into fishing, Key West fishing will blow your mind! Once you’ve tried it you’ll never ever forget how it feels to fight the game fish we have in our seas. Come and experience big game fishing in Key West!
