Summerland Key Great Barracuda Fishing Charters

Decide how you'd like to spend your morning: gently drift along the flats, being careful not to disturb the spooky fish beneath you, or head out to the reefs and wrecks for some nearshore fishing. You'll get to target a range of species from Yellow Snapper to Cobia, to Groupers, to the prestigious Tarpon.

8 hour fishing trip to several of our favorite spots on our reef, wrecks or bridges. You can expect to hook into a variety of Snapper, Grouper, Barracuda, Amberjack, Cobia, Sharks and many more species of fish found in the Florida Keys.

Nothing beats a full day trip if you want to check out everything the Keys have to offer fishing-wise. You'll be headed out into the flats to look for species like Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon (when in season). Rods, reels, and terminal tackle will be included in the price of the trip. The departure times are flexible.

Let's go fishing for permit, cobia, tarpon, jacks, barracuda, and many others where the fish experience less pressure over 20 miles from Key West. The crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys offer abundant opportunities for anglers seeking a thrilling fishing experience. With its diverse array of fish species, this region is truly a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. As we venture further away from Key West, the fishing pressure decreases significantly, allowing for bigger and more catches!

Join me for an exciting half day of fishing in the beautiful Florida Keys. After a short boat ride we will have lines in the water in pursuit of the catch of a lifetime. Let me know if you have any specific species you are wanting to target and I will do everything I can to make it happen. Some targets are seasonal but the beautiful thing about fishing in the keys is that there is always something around to bend a rod. Just bring anything you would like to eat or drink while on the water.

A half-day trip involves a 20 to 35-minute ride to the fishing grounds. You can plan on doing some bottom fishing and drift fishing for Snappers. While Snapper fishing all kinds of trophy fish can swim up so we will put out a bigger line for whatever it could be. We could fish the morning or afternoon tides in a half day. Plan for fishing for 3 hours and running for 1 hour.
