Running angling trips out of Key West, Fishy Business Charters invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Eric aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like light tackle drift fishing, and popping. You’re looking at 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Barracuda, Tarpon, Snapper, Permit, Jack Crevalle, and Sharks, depending on the weather and time of year.

You’ll be fishing from a 22’ Pathfinder boat with enough room for up to 3 anglers at any single time. It also includes an ice box and a wireless trolling motor. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water.

Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so. This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Fishy Business Charters.
