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

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.

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!!

VERY windy conditions in November need to be considered for anyone who may be prone to motion sickness.

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.

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. Dr Walter Brooks

September is not the best time to fish for large game day in the keys but with the right few can still find some fish

Be prepared for the heat. Ice cold water and sports drinks are a must. A boat that can provide some shade is helpful as well.

There snacks available for purchase or you can bring your own. You will want to tip as well because they really do a fantastic job, so bring some cash too.

If you’re looking for something exotic or unique like sailfish or wahoo check the calendars for optimal time during the year … summer months get hot and have noticed it slows down offshore wise

Sometimes the fishing is just that. Fishing. Many factors should be figured into the catching part. Tide, current, wind, moon phase, temperature etc. Be patient.

Your pretty guaranteed fish if you fish the reef or wrecks if you can get them into the boat before the predators get them. If your trolling it's a 50-50 chance of getting fish

It was great. A little hot on a sunny day, but the boat has some shade inside when needed. We had to move a few times, but I think everyone was pretty happy.

Do not eat before the trip. Wear sunblock, sunglasses, and long sleeve fishing shirts. Bring towels to lay on in case a passenger feels sick.

First timers should book with Joel. He and Johnny are very knowledgeable, explained everything, and made sure everyone caught a fish.
