Above all Capt. Pepe, believes that fishing should be about having a good time and enjoying our waters, so even if you are a novice, or if you have children with you, he will take the time to properly instruct everyone to ensure that everyone has a great and safe time.

Pepes Key West Charters Offer:

 

Key West Offshore fishing - offers the fisherman the opportunity to seek any number of fish depending on the time of year.  In the winter there are king mackerel, blackfin tuna, and wahoo along with sailfish in the deeper waters.

 

The reefs supply with king mackerel, several different species of grouper, mutton and yellowtail snapper, cero mackerel, porgy, grunt (a Key West staple) and barracuda - a catch and release favorite.

By April the sail-fishing in Key West is ranked among the world’s best, with the World Championship Tournament held here at the end of the third week the month.

 

As spring and summer approach the water warms up and the dolphin fishing becomes a primary target. This also brings the time when, while trolling for dolphin, the boats, see and the fortunate ones hook, blue marlin.

 

Wahoo and sailfish are still in the offering but not as plentiful as in the earlier months. Seas are generally quite calm and  it gives all anglers a chance to appreciate Key West at it’s best; warm, sunny and on the water.

 

Light tackle fishing (open fishing boats) are now becoming exceedingly popular with the more serious fishing enthusiasts as they have the speed and range to extend the fishing area  further; targeting fish as far out as the Dry Tortugas.  The target species are still the same but the area that can be covered is far greater. They are also able to work the channels, harbors and back country areas along with the many wrecks on the Gulf side for tarpon, permit, sharks and barracuda.   Whether you are a novice, or a seasoned pro, Capt. Pepe can show you the reason the Florida Keys are one of the Premier destinations in the world for sportsfishing.
