By far the most affordable fishing option for you, is to take advantage of a Key West party boat fishing charter.

You can spend up to six hours on the ocean for just a fraction of the cost that a private charter boat would charge you.

The party boat guides have a knack for knowing where to find lot's of fish to keep their guest happy.
Be Sure to Pick the Right Time of Year!
Key West is where the waters of the Gulf, Atlantic and Caribbean merge which is one of the reasons why the area provides so many options for WORLD CLASS charter sport fishing opportunities
year round.

Another great feature about fishing in the waters around the lower Key's is there are always plenty of chances for a big catch. 

Most of the fishing guides will pursue what ever species happens to be migrating at that specific time of year, based on the chart above. 

So you will want to do a little research and planning  to coordinate your fishing trip for a certain species that you would like to pursue.    

The reefs always offer lots of fast action for all of the Key West fishing charters and their patrons.  You may want to try your luck using light tackle where even a five or ten pounder will provide difficulty in landing.

Choose the right

Key West Fishing Charter

The charter boat fishing options can vary greatly depending on the type of fish you're pursuing.   The most popular options include:

Light Tackle Key West Fishing- Guides who specialize in Light Tackle Sport Fishing use lighter poles and test line making the fishing much more challenging and sporting.

Key West Deep Sea / Off Shore Fishing Guides & Charter Boats -  These types of charter boats will usually travel a fair distance from land and will fish for larger species like Blue Marlin.  They also will focus on fishing in much deeper water just like the description says.

Backcountry Flats Fishing Guides will specialize in sight fishing the extremely shallow and clear water areas of the back water flat areas the keys are known for.
A good example would be chasing the elusive bonefish or even tarpon.
