Purple Heron Charters kører fisketure året rundt og på fuld tid ud af Key West og tilbyder at vise dig, hvad det lokale fiskeri og økosystem handler om.
Kaptajn John vil gøre sit bedste for at sikre, at du får en sjov dag fyldt med fiskeri. Han specialiserer sig i spinning, fluefiskeri og sight fishing. Alt for at få dig på det rette bid. Dette involverer 4 til 10-timers ture, primært fiskeri efter Damefisk, Plettet trommefisk, Hajer, Pompano, Barracuda, Tarpon, Snapper, Atlantisk permit, Hestemakrel og Jødefisk, afhængigt af sæsonen og dagens forhold.
Dit eventyr begynder om bord på en 18 fods Dolphin skiff drevet af en Mercury 115 Pro XS, der kan rumme maksimalt 2 fiskere. Båden er udstyret med en isboks.
Alle stænger, hjul og terminalt grej er inkluderet i prisen, så du kan fokusere på det, der virkelig betyder noget, nemlig fiskeriet. Kaptajnen sørger for alle nødvendige fiskelicenser til din tur. Du kan beholde alt, hvad du fanger, så længe det er lovligt at gøre det.
Båden vil være forsynet med drikkevand i genanvendelige aluminiumsdåser til din fornøjelse, sørg for at fortælle kaptajnen, hvis du har spørgsmål eller ønsker at medbringe dit eget.

When asked if a Grand Slam was an oppertunity on a 3/4 day, I expected 100 questions about me, what I got was a yes and what we did is hook up a good tarpon, land a huge bonefish and ended the day following 3 permit wakes, all in near 90 deg water, all in near record heat. The flat, near windless oppertunity that I was given opened up a rare magical target window leaving this surf fisherman to understand I need to be far more practiced at my short game. Next year, I only will be considering ONE flats guide John Hoover!
John was great! He's so knowledgeable and very patient, kept us moving around and we never got bored. We caught a lot of different species in a short amount of time & he explained each one in detail, he obviously knows the flats are very well. We even had a shark on the line at one time. It was beautiful, calm & very peaceful, the perfect place for someone who gets seasick but still wants to fish in the ocean.

my wife and i ended catching multiple species and our target fish over the course of the trip and were even able to bring fish back to have cooked st a local restaurant. Captain John was extremely knowledgeable of his home waters and put us on fish quickly. All we had to do was “romance” them. It was my wife’s first time on a solo charter like this and she had a great time. I highly recommend Captain John.

John got me into fish immediately and took me to a series of beautiful spots off the beaten track. Hooked up all day on tarpon, snapper, jacks a couole of sharks and even a couple of untargeted bonefish. barely saw a soul all day on a Saturday in peak season. great boat, equipment and a terrific guide with encyclpedic knowledge of the waters around Key West. Do a multi- day if you can!!!

Our backcountry fishing trip in Key West was absolutely unforgettable. We were on the fish nonstop—catching them until our arms were genuinely tired. The highlight of the day was watching my daughter battle and land a huge blacktip shark, and the captain was incredibly patient and encouraging the whole time. On top of the great fishing, we also got an awesome history lesson about the area that made the trip even more memorable. Beautiful scenery, nonstop action, and a captain who truly knows his stuff. Highly recommend!

Me & my buddy had a real blast getting out with Captain John for a day on the flats. He was super flexible with us, and did a great job showing us all the different types of terrain within this Fishery. We got into some nice fish, and walked away with knowledge and stories to last a lifetime. Great to find a guide who still cares about the right things.
Communication with the captain is important so you are both on the same page. Purple Heron did a nice job of providing the trip we asked for.
My husband and I had a great experience and caught some impressive barracuda despite having limited time to fish. Captain John is very knowledgeable and takes the time to share that knowledge with his guests. Highly recommend Purple Heron Charters for anyone planning a fishing trip in Key West!!
It was a great trip, worth spending the money so it was just the Captain, my husband and myself. No fighting for poles, or over crowding. John has endless knowledge of the island and absolutely cares genuinely about the ecosystem. He also has endless knowledge about fishing of course! 10/10!!

Captain was perfect in findind fish and pisitioning the boatfor a cast. our fault that we did not score((

John made the experience truly one to remember, was extremely knowledgeable, experienced and patient with a very novice salt water fisherman. He was able to get us on the fish and knew exactly where to find them. He tried so hard for me to achieve the slam but I clearly need to work on my skills as he gave me so many opportunities but I just couldn't land them in the boat for true success. An amazing adventure with a very well rounded experienced captain.
