Key West, United States
- Background
- Our love for fishing started when we were all just kids, but it truly came alive out on the clear blue waters of Key West, Florida. The ocean here is full of life, adventure, and excitement, and I’ve spent years learning its every current, reef, and hidden hotspot. Whether it’s chasing schools of Mahi-Mahi near floating seaweed or battling the powerful wahoo as it streaks through the water like a torpedo, there’s nothing like fishing in the Florida Keys. I still remember the first time I hooked into a sailfish—its silver body leaping high above the waves, the reel screaming as it ran. Those moments make your heart pound and leave you with stories you’ll tell forever. From Blackfin Tuna that fight like champions to the thrill of landing a prized wahoo, every day out here brings a new challenge and a new reward. Now, running our own fishing charter company in Key West lets me share that excitement with others. These waters have become our second home, and we know them like the back of our hands. We love taking people out to chase their dream fish, whether it’s their first time on a boat or they’re seasoned anglers looking for the next big catch. Watching someone reel in their first Mahi or feeling the rush of a tuna on the line never gets old. Out here, it’s more than just fishing—it’s about the thrill of the hunt, the beauty of the ocean, and the memories you take back to shore. Our goal is to give every person who steps on the High Line the chance to experience the magic of Key West fishing and leave with a story they’ll always remember.
- Techniques
- Trolling - A favorite technique for catching wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, and sailfish. Trolling involves pulling lures or bait behind a moving boat to cover large areas of water and target fast-moving fish. Reef, bay, and wreck fishing - Key West offers an exciting and diverse angling experience, perfect for both seasoned fishermen and first-timers. This technique involves anchoring near vibrant coral reefs, submerged wrecks, or calm bays and dropping lines to the bottom where the action unfolds. With the opportunity to reel in hard-fighting grouper, tasty snapper, or even a powerful African pompano. Amberjack and cobia add to the thrill with their strength and endurance, while the sudden strike of a barracuda or the imposing pull of a shark promises heart-pounding excitement. The variety of species ensures no two trips are the same, making every outing an unforgettable adventure in these rich waters. Offshore live baiting - In the waters of Key West this is the ultimate adrenaline-pumping fishing adventure, targeting some of the ocean’s most iconic and powerful predators. With live bait expertly presented in the sparkling blue depths, anglers can hook into the electrifying fight of a sailfish leaping through the air or the torpedo-like speed of a Wahoo. Kingfish deliver thrilling runs, while the sight of Mahi-Mahi darting near the boat adds to the experience. The excitement doesn’t stop there—Blackfin Tuna will test your endurance, and the possibility of encountering a majestic marlin makes every outing unforgettable. This technique combines strategy, skill, and the unpredictable magic of the open ocean, promising an adventure that yopu will talk about for years to come. Daytime Swordfishing - The ultimate deep-sea challenge. Dropping baits 1,500 to 2,200 feet into the dark abyss, you will target the elusive swordfish, known for their strength and size. These deep-dwelling giants can weigh several hundred pounds, offering a fight that is as intense as it is rewarding. The thrill of reeling in a powerful swordfish from such extreme depths is a true test of skill and stamina, and the experience of battling one of these magnificent creatures is nothing short of unforgettable. It’s an adventure for those who crave the ultimate fishing story. Far Gulf - Will take you up to 60 miles offshore for an unforgettable adventure chasing Blackfin Tuna.
