The crystal clear waters around the Florida Keys are a true fishing paradise. The local fishery is known internationally as one of the best places in the world for anglers. Here to help you to make the best of it is Goliath Charters with Captain Craig Clopper.
He’ll take you out on his 18’ Hells Bay Neptune boat, which is suitable for all different styles of fishing. Its 115 HP Mercury Pro Xs engine, allowing it to go up to 45 knots, means you can get to different fishing grounds quickly.
Captain Craig is more than happy to take you on different types of fishing trips when you go onto the water with him. Reef, wreck, and flats fishing are all possible on the different areas of water on the Florida Keys. Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit, Sharks, Goliath Grouper, Cobia, and are but a few of the species that you’ve got a great chance of catching.
Craig uses Shimano gear for a great angling feel. If you would like to go fly fishing or spearfishing simply contact him in advance and he’ll provide the equipment. He’ll also clean your fish for you once you’ve returned to the land.
You’ll need to buy a fishing license beforehand and take some refreshments along too. Apply some sunscreen and put your shades on as you get ready to face some world-class fishing in the sun.
