Charter Operator
Capt. Conch Charters

Member since March 2016 Key West, United States
Background
I was born and raised in Key West, and started fishing with my grandfather at the tender age of 8 years old. My grandfather taught me how to fish, and instilled in me a great love and respect for the ocean. As I grew I knew that this is what I wanted to do with my life. As soon as I was able to shake my parents notion that one day I would head off to college, I began to fish in earnest. I started in the commercial industry trapping, diving, and hand lining. Though I enjoyed that life immensely I also enjoy showing people a good time, and showing off my craft. which led me into the charter boat industry. I went from first mate to owner of 4 charter boats at historical charterboat row. I have learned from the best in the industry, and have passed my knowledge onto my crews. I believe that all fishermen are show offs. They know that it is not easy to go fishing and actually catch fish, and that's what they do. Come on out and hang with our showoffs, I promise you will be entertained.

Wahoo Bonanza !!!!
Wahoo Bonanza !!!!
Nov 21, 2017 Key West
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and if you are not in Key West yet all I can say is why not. You wont find many cozy fireplaces here, but then again who needs them being located so close to the end of the rainbow. If you are tired of that same old traditional turkey dinner, you should be in Key West where the elusive wahoo have made a Thanksgiving appearance. On a recent trip our customers experienced some great wahoo action, and plan on eating the turkey of the ocean for dinner. The other white meat. Check out these great pics and make your plans to join us at Capt. Conch Charters located at the end of the rainbow.

Fall Fishing Is On
Nov 9, 2017 Key West
On a recent trip to the Gulfstream South of Key West Capt. Conch Charters put there customers on the fish in a big hurry. We only had two of the 5 lines in the water when we hooked our first tuna,. From That moment on our beautifull new mate Brandy was kept very busy. We ended up with 10 blackfin tuna, 7 mahi. and topped it off with a nice sailfish.
tuna and mahi galore

Well We have finally dug out of the storm. Key West is open for business and fantasy fest lived up to all of its expectations. The fishing has recovered also, we have been catching numerous black fin tuna mixed with mahi mahi and the occasional sailfish. Our fall run of sailfish is just beginning, so make your plans to visit Key West and catch yourself a sailfish.
Hurricane Irma Update
Hurricane Irma Update
Sep 10, 2017 Key West
Hurricane Irma is long gone thank God, but the aftermath is in full swing. Key West as well as all the Keys have been dealt a catastrophic blow. We are down, but we are far from out. To say that it has been hard Is an understatement, but thanks to the heroes that are working hard to restore our resources we are on the mend. It has been announced that we are trying for a October 20th re-opening of the Keys to our northern friends. We are all working hard towards that goal, as we cant wait to see you. In the meantime say a prayer for all the hurricane victims who are suffering through the aftermath of natures fury. Follow us on Facebook to see some videos of the storm.

On a recent trip aboard Capt. Conch Charters The infamous Capt. Tony and our first mate wahoo jerry put there crew onto a fine catch of mahi and one huge wahoo, which tipped the scale at 72 pounds. It looks like our fall fishing is going to be outrageous so make your plans now to visit us in Key West. The Capt. Conch crew will make your fishing fantasies come true, and the streets of Key West will make your nighttime fantasies come true.
