    3/4 Day Trip – Shared2 adults

    I just went on a charter with CowboyCowgirl this weekend, and my best friend and I had an awesome time. We were out for 6-8 hours and the captain and first mate made sure all of it was a blast. They were clearly skilled fishermen and boaters, and did everything they could to make sure each of us caught big fish, all while having a great day on the water. Captain Sam Woody and first mate Tyson made it happen!! Couldn't recommend this charter and group more!! Would absolutely do it again.

    Had the best time!!!

    Full Day Trip4 adults

    The crew was the best. The Captain did a fantastic job reading the Gulf Stream and knowing where tge fish were. Tge deck hand (Caleb) worked his butt off for my family and I. he kept us entertained and was patient with some of the members who had never fished before. My son caught a betiful Wahoo, which is being mounted. we are definitely coming back.

    Difficult week but Cowboy Cowgirl came through

    Full Day Trip – Shared Charter2 adults

    We went to Key West just for the fishing trip then wind came up and nothing could go out. They worked with us and took us out our last day. We had hoped for some big boys, sailfish, etc but at this point we just wanted to have fun. The captain Hans managed some rough water and our first mate worked hard to help us all catch fish and that we did. Lots of maceral, snapper and yellow tail and even the odd mutton and blue wrasse. When we got back they were waiting to drive us to the airport to catch our flight. I can't recommend enough how hard they worked to make our trip good and get fish.

    Response from Charter operator

    Loretta, thank you for the kind words—and for rolling with a windy week. We’re glad we could shift your date and still get you out on your last day. Captain Hans and our first mate work hard to keep things safe, steady, and fun when the weather kicks up, and it’s great to hear everyone hooked fish—mackerel, snapper, yellowtail, even a mutton and blue wrasse. Getting you to the airport on time was the easy part. We appreciate you choosing our Key West fishing charter and hope to chase those “big boys” (including sailfish) with you next time. If you’re planning a return, we run both shared and private charters—pick what fits your group—and we also offer Marquesas Key historical fishing tours for a special day off the beaten path. Also, if you want a keepsake from the trip, go to BiteBackBrand and under Local Legends, go to Cowboy to get your t-shirts and other gear. —Michelle & the Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing team Helpful Q&A Q: What happens if wind or weather cancels my trip? A: Safety comes first. We monitor forecasts and, if conditions aren’t safe or enjoyable, we’ll reschedule you to the next safe window or help you choose an alternate trip style that fits the seas. Q: When’s the best time to target sailfish in Key West? A: Late fall through early spring is prime, especially around cold fronts. Tell us your dates and we’ll recommend the best charter (and tactics) to maximize your shot.

    5 Star Experience

    12 Hrs SwordFishing-Serious Anglers4 adults

    Capt Nels and mates Daniel & Caleb were awesome! Winds were crazy, seas were rowdy and they still put us on the fish. I think we used every reel on the boat, trying many techniques, and put us on 2 massive sailfish off the kites. Very knowledgeable and willing to teach along the way which I really appreciate as an amateur angler myself. We will be back this summer to get out to the wall and get that next bucket list fish!

What's biting with Cowboy Cowgirl-Cold AC 45 Ft Hatteras in Key West

Vreme se hladi i gužve se proređuju. Ovo je najbolje doba godine za Slam na plićacima. Vreme može biti nepredvidivo sa uraganima, ali pecanje čini sve vrednim truda.
