    Easy!

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM • 3 adults

    excellent day with Captain dave. He was immediately personable and respectful. The beginning of the day was pretty slow but with Daves perseverance and know how, we got into the fish. lost count of how many fish we caught. Dave was very insightful with our fishing technique, instruction and theory. He explained the “why” and gave us some fun local knowledge all while baiting our three hooks and dehooking fish without missing a beat. my wife obviously caught the three biggest fish. sometimes guides can be weird with lady’s on the boat, but Dave made my wife feel comfortable and confident. Dave thenhelped us digure out what do so with the meat while he dilligently and skillfully filleted our fish. What a day! Thanks dave, you’re a Salty ass dude!

    Great Adventure!

    Half Day Trip (PM) – Sunset Tarpon • 4 adults

    We took a 4 hr trip with Captain Zach. We got to cruise out and see how bait is caught, he put us on a large group of gray(mangrove) snappers. They put up a good fight and fun to catch. We easily caught our limit. We then cruised to another spot to catch some Tarpon. Caught a nice sized one and my son had a great time fighting to bring it in. Zach cleaned the fish we planned to keep and we were happy to share the rest with him. Zach is very knowledgable and easy going and that was apparent when we ran into other boats on the water as they all seemed to know him. Would definitely go out with him again!

    Mangrove Snapper
    Tarpon

    Fishing with John

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an excellent our captain. David was very accommodating. We had an eight and 12 year-old with us on the boat. He was very good with the kids very knowledgeable about the area. we had an offshore trip planned, but because of the weather, we had to switch thing up. Do an inshore trip. We caught tons of snapper couple grouper jacks and the kids favorite part was the big sharks that they caught. David did a hell of a job for us.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper
    Jack Crevalle
    Goliath Grouper
    Mutton Snapper

    Captain Zac killed it!

    4 Hour Trip - Sunset Tarpon • 2 adults

    Had a great trip with Capt. Zac. Tarpon weren’t really around like we hoped, but he still kept us on fish all day and put us on sharks, barracuda, and snapper, and we even ended up getting on some tarpon toward the end of the trip. He was super laid back, friendly, and really knew his stuff. He did a great job working with both me, someone with a lot of fishing experience, and my girlfriend who’s pretty new to fishing, and made sure we both had a good time. Would definitely recommend booking with him.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Mangrove Snapper
    Tarpon

    Great trip!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults

    We had a fabulous morning with Zac on the open water. We set out for deep water to fish a spawning mass of mangrove snapper. The fish were biting as soon as the bait hit the water, and my teenage boys were thrilled. We caught 25 before we decided to try shark fishing. We went to a different location and set out some barracuda as bait. Sadly, we did not catch sharks, but we did see a big one! Zac was a great guide and interacted well with my family. Overall, we had a great day.

What's biting with Reel Easy Charters in Key West

Late fall sees the reefs come alive. Large numbers of baitfish attract delicacies such as Yellowtail Snappers, Groupers, and Mutton Snappers, which then arrive in boats and on the dinner table.
