Backcountry Fishing
Experience the diverse fishing opportunities of the Lower Keys, where every trip is tailored to the day’s best action. From the Gulf of Mexico and backcountry waters to Hawk Channel and the barrier reef, we’ll target prime fishing spots based on current conditions. Whether you’re seeking a delicious catch like cero mackerel, grouper, and yellow jack – or looking to test your skills against sporting challenges such as barracuda, sharks, or goliath grouper, this adventure is for you. From trolling and chumming to live bait fishing, we adapt our approach to maximize your success on the water.

Nearshore Fishing
Experience the diverse fishing opportunities of the Lower Keys, where every trip is tailored to the day’s best action. From Big Pine Shoal to American Shoal Lighthouse, we’ll find a productive patch reef or perhaps troll along the barrier reef. This trip is usually dedicated to the south side of the Keys. Hawk Channel goes to about 45′ deep, then gradually rises to about 17′ once you get to spots on the barrier reef. We have an opportunity to catch some of the same fish as the backcountry with waters that get more and more blue. Cero mackerel, various snapper, red grouper, and yellow jack all make great table fare!

Offshore Fishing
Bluewater / Deep Sea
Experience the thrill of offshore fishing beyond the barrier reef in the crystal-clear blue waters of the Lower Keys. Target trophy species including dolphinfish, blackfin tuna, skipjack tuna, bonito, sailfish or even wahoo in the deep waters of the Atlantic. This adventure is perfect for serious anglers seeking big game fishing experiences, with techniques ranging from deep dropping to trolling with strategic runs following birds and weedlines.
For optimal comfort and success, these offshore trips are best suited for 2-4 adults. Early morning or midafternoon departures often provide the best offshore opportunities, though departure times can be customized to your schedule.
