Make sure to bring plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Wear you sun glasses. And most importantly wear your sun screen!

If it's your first time, take Dramamine the night before and an hour before your trip. Worked well for multiple boat trips with varying conditions.
Tom Trimble
The weather was great. Not too hot!
It was a little windy but Captain John knew how to get into the quiet spots out of the wind.
I really like the end of April fishing here.
Dennis Wylie
It was a very good experience on our fishing charter. We would recommend the Cora Beth fishing charter to everyone.
Miken Spalding
There was a cold front that came through the area and made the fishing tough but that is expected for fishing

Be conservative about the accessories you bring because you’re going to be spending most of your time fishing.

Ask questions. Theses guys are wealth of knowledge and seemed happy to tell us they did things a certain way. It was just. Great experience

The captain and mate are experience and would be helpful for first time and experienced anglers alike.

Take the motion sickness pills 1 hour before. It won't hurt if you don't need it, but once you feel sick, it is too late.

Pick a good charter such as Reef Runner and then trust your captain and crew to do the best for you. They know their fishery and they will work there hardest to give you a great day on the water.
Daniel Nesbitt
Westher was picture perfect and the boat and crew were amazing! This is definitely a must do in Key West. Ride the conchenstien !
Carey Grant
Book Blake, he will walk you through how to spot fish, appropriate casts, and how to catch incredible fish!
Dennis Landis
I highly recommend flats fishing in December. The fish are plentiful and the scenery is incredible.
Mark Asuma
This is your boat and crew for sure. The best time! We caught so much! You will not be disappointed!
Michael Schor
Expect to have fun, not to catch anything great. That way, when you do - it will be an awesome surprise.
Scott Roberts
Be ready for the chance of cooler temps and higher winds, but if you are from up north it will still probably feel like summer to you!
Shawn Swallow
Find an experienced captain with local experience and who can build a day around daily conditions and recent fishing spots
David Sanderlin
Yes, no experience need with mate Ross he will make sure you have a great time and enjoy catching your fish! First rate mate who is very capable!
David Sanderlin
It’s great if you have a good captain that knows where the fish are my other charter was fantastic
Julie Moyer
Great time and everyone on the boat was catching fish. Very knowledgeable crew and captain. Captain was great on finding the fish.
Demi Koulianos
Do not come in November. And if it is cold and windy, do not allow Captin to take you out on the boat. The waters will be choppy and the odds of you catching something or someone to none
Steven Beltis
Bring your catch to either Dante's, Half Shell, or the Boathouse afterwards, and they will cook your catch right there!

Let the captain know what kind of fish you want to catch and they’ll target that species or will let you know what the best action is for the time of year.
Ron Croston
Do your research! This captain only wanted paid didn’t care he couldn’t find fish. I’ve been on many charters and captains worked had to get on the fish not this one!!
Stephanie Armbruster
VERY windy conditions in November need to be considered for anyone who may be prone to motion sickness.
Stephanie Mann
Srbo is super friendly, knowable and patient - made a trip perfect - despite his unusual name - he is born and raised American , no need to worry about an accent you won’t understand
Dan Boyer
Don’t pay attention to the weather reach out to the boat. They will tell you if it’s good to go or not.
Gene Kirby
If you want an experience of a lifetime, Make your booking with this service and all your dreams will come true.
John Robinson
Speak openly with your guide, ask questions about what fish you can expect to go after, the travel time to get to 1st cast, etc.
Walter Brooks
When you fish trolling you must be patient to catch fish but the bites will come. Make sure you bring sunscreen because it can get hot and sunny in Key West.
