Capt. Damon Santelli runs fishing trips out of the rich Florida Keys. Damon spent a decade working as a commercial fisherman in the Key West. During that time, he learnt a great deal about fishing, using rod and reel to make a living. Having earned a lot of experience and skills, Capt. Damon went on to become a captain of his own charter. He now has a fleet of boats and along with his team takes out numerous customers each year. The decision to leave behind his office career and become a captain proved to be the right one. Capt. Damon is patient and likes taking both novice anglers and seasoned fishermen out on the water. Damon has landed many commercial fishing records, such as 1232 lbs of Yellowtail Snapper. You don't want to miss a trip with him. It's going to be pure action!

    Fun Experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    We caught 2 really nice fish; one yellowtail snapper & one red gag. We went out with Forrest and he was very nice and attentive. We caught a ton of fish which was fun, but they were mostly small fish. The coolest fish i saw on the trip was the strawberry grouper (I think) I think there were lots of sharks or barracuda in the area because each time a big fish bit, another fish would rob us. The boat was very nice and overall a great experience, I’m glad we were put on fish and had fun.

    Great fishing trip !!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    Had a great experience with Captain Ben, he put on some Yellowfin,Porgy,Mutton and Mangrove Snappers. Dinner tonight. The trip was short but with a 7 year old it’s hard to keep their attention for long. Enjoyed the trip. Thanks Porgy Slayer

Šta se peca sa Fish Key West - The Coolcast u Key West

Ribolov na grebenu je i dalje dobar ali može biti vetrovito. Bonefish se proređuje na plićacima ali Permit je dobar kao i uvek. Sailfish i tuna se love iznad grebena a ribolov u divljini je odličan.
