What anglers said about fishing in Dry Tortugas

Bring a jacket and sunscreen. Florida weather can be unpredictable during winter. Make sure you have something if you are prone to seasickness it will make or break your trip.

Don't worry about the weather or time of the year, you will have a great time regardless of conditions.

If you want to make sure you get fish, book with a charter boat that take multiple people and has a variety of hours to go out. Check the ratings and read the reviews.

Go with experienced Capt like Fishizzle. Watch the weather and schedule your trip early during your visit in event conditions cause cancelling. Have better shot of a makeup day possibly. 3/4 day will be more productive. I prefer going AM as conditions tend to get worse with heat of the Sun. This is apparently not as hard and fast rule as I thought in KW.

Was a little wet due to the wind, so maybe bring a rain jacket. Otherwise be prepared for fun.

The sun and heat are brutal. You may think you want to wear short sleeves and shorts but don’t. Long breathable pants and a breathable shirt would be best.

Inquire to what fish are in season and what fish you will be after as it depends on how long of a trip you book.
