I have been fishing down here for almost 15 years and Dean is my first go to when I want to land pelagic fish!!!! The amount of effort he puts in before a trip matters translates to the success on the water. When we fished yesterday, he had prepared fresh brined Bonita bellies as bait, rather than just using frozen ballyhoo. All of his knots and leader were freshly tied and the gear we fished with was all well maintained. Boat was clean (no smelly fish box) - and his go fast contender got us out into the bluewater in no time.

Booked a full day trip with the Salty Dawgs fishing charter. It was one of the best experiences we had in Key West. Captain Dean and his crew are clearly passionate about what they do. They were super friendly and knew where to take us to find fish. The boat was spotless, well equipped and comfortable. They made everything easy from baiting the hooks to cleaning the fish. Can't wait to come back next year! Highly recommend!
