Full Day Offshore

A Full Day Offshore is eight hours and the ultimate Florida Key fishing experience! We typically travel 5-20 miles offshore targeting all of the larger pelagic species such as Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo and Sailfish (species are seasonal). On a Full Day Charter it also allows time to stop at the local reef/wrecks for some bottom fishing for Snapper and Grouper as well! This is the fish it all type of charter!

Full Day Reef (8HR)
+7
This trip is a bit more involved than the shorter trips. We will be targeting the glory fish that roam out beyond the reef edge! The day will begin with going to the bait patch and loading the livewells, which usually takes around an hour from the dock. Our target species will be structured around what is biting best at the given time. The main target will be Sailfish, Mahi, Blackfin Tuna and Kingfish. No matter what we always have a bottom rod set for groupers (when in season) and mutton snapper!

The guys onboard “Hound Dawg Charters Islamorada” know how to catch fish! When the sailfish weren’t biting, the guys put us on the some Tuna and a 70+ lb Amberjack!!!
Wow. Great time and great success. 😊

Captain Jeff did a great job of taking care of us. Went out for Sailfish but switched to Barracuda later. The Barracuda were aggressive and gave us a real fight to the boat. Highly recommend you book with him on your next trip to Islamorada.

Had a great day with Capt Jeff! Started of catching ballyhoo to use for trolling the reef line and it wasn’t too long before we got a chase. Shortly thereafter hooked up and landed my first sailfish (what a thrill) followed by a nice blackfin for my son. We finished off the day with several barracuda inshore. Thanks for a great day!!

Capt. Jeff is a great guide. From the meet up in the morning to the ride back was an all around great time. The sailfish weren't in the mood but the kingfish were an absolute riot on light tackle. Capt. Jeff is an absolute pro at his craft, with a laid back easy going vibe. Bring your kids, my son had a blast. Great human being and experience! Can't wait to run it back again!
Thanks for the memories.......
