    Full Day Trip on May 28, 2022 • 6 adults

    Everything about this charter was excellent. We were a party of 6. The boat, captain and crew were waiting on the dock ready to go when we arrived. The captain had us catching fish within 20 minutes and didn't let up. Captain Justin loves to catch fish as well as the mate. All newer gear, everything worked. Comfortable air-conditioned salon. Salon includes a head, microwave, fridge, sitting area. Perfect day on the water...I don't know how we could have had a better time.

A marine mechanic by trade, the captain needed to get out of the shop. That's when he started Good Times Key West. Every day now he enjoys sharing the amazing activities and scenery that the Florida Keys backcountry has to offer. Fishing, snorkeling, sandbars, dolphin viewing, and much more.

    Red Grouper
    The water temp has been coldest I've seen in a few years. The inshore fishery was almost non existent for a couple days. Luckily as soon as the cold weather turned, the mangrove, lane snappers, and sharks slowly starting coming back. On the days with decent conditions and adventurous guests, we ventured to a bit deeper reefs looking for a little warmer water temps. We found some nice red grouper (season closed till May) and a verity of quality snappers. Beyond the reef has been decent. Not exactly all the designer fish, but plenty of action to had be had. Decent numbers of of cero, Spanish, and king mackerels, some cudas, and bonita have been caught. I heard of a handful of sailfish being caught, but was not luckily to hook or see any myself.

    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Yesterday was a pretty special day. Not only for our birthday girl onboard, but also for the crew. We spotted, chased, and caught multiple sailfish in as shallow as 25’ of water on the reef. As we ventured offshore it didn’t take long before we found some December mahi in 150’. We whacked a few mahi, then trolled our way back home, along the way we found some bonus mackerel in hawks channel. Everyday is different and yesterday was certainly one to remember.
  • An angler proudly displaying a large Tuna while fishing on a boat during sunset.
    Fish 1
    Yellowfin Tuna
    The cooler weather is bringing our winter time fisheries. Live bait has been plentiful. Pelagic species including Blackfin tuna and mackerel are pushing in shallower towards the reef line. Makes for less commute and more fishing time! Inshore bite has been steady with impressive numbers and size of a verity of species. Cobia have been found on the wrecks. Big muttons in the shallow waters of the backcountry, and quality yellowtail and lane snappers on the patch reefs. Weather your looking to go offshore or inshore fishing while in Key West, we’d love to get you hooked up.

    The bite has been great offshore of Key West. Wahoo have been caught on almost all recent trips. Mahi are a plenty with a few of our trips catching our boat limit this week. We did have one day last week without much happening offshore, so we trolled the reef and caught a verity of mackerel including a “smoker king”. Our 35’ is perfect for trolling with its impressive outriggers, downriggers, and electric teasers. Dont forget we are one of the few Key West charter boats that has ice cold AC. Lets go get em!!!
