Local Tips & Conditions

Key West's offshore waters offer some of Florida's most consistent fishing opportunities year-round. The deep drop-offs and current breaks surrounding the island create perfect habitats for pelagic species. Summer months typically bring calmer seas and opportunities for memorable offshore action. Early morning departures often provide the most comfortable conditions before afternoon heat and winds pick up.

When fishing Key West offshore waters, watch for birds working the surface—they'll often lead you to feeding activity below. The Gulf Stream influence means water conditions can change quickly, so having a guide with local knowledge makes all the difference in finding productive areas. This charter is suitable for anglers of all skill levels, with Captain Zane providing hands-on instruction for beginners while still challenging experienced fishermen with technical presentations when targeting more selective species.
