Key West 3-Hour Fishing & Swim Trip | Anytime Outlaw

Key West's 3-Hour Fishing & Swimming Adventure

Get ready for a perfect slice of Key West life with our 3-hour fishing and swimming trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to wet a line, this trip's got something for everyone. We'll cruise the crystal-clear waters, drop some lines, and maybe even spot a few sharks. And when the Florida heat kicks in? No worries – you can cool off with a refreshing dip. It's the ideal way to experience the best of the Keys without spending all day on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we push off from the dock, you'll feel the laid-back Key West vibe take over. We'll start by heading to some of our favorite fishing spots – could be inshore flats, deep channels, or even some secret honey holes our captains have up their sleeves. Depending on what's biting, we might do some bottom fishing for snapper, troll for mahi-mahi, or even try our luck with some shark fishing if you're feeling adventurous. Our crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for some top-notch fishing action. And hey, if you need a break from casting, just hop in for a swim. The water's always fine in the Keys!

Fishing Styles & Gear

On this trip, we're all about flexibility. We'll bring gear for inshore fishing, bottom fishing, and even some shark rigs if the conditions are right. For the inshore spots, we'll use light tackle and live bait to target species like snapper and maybe even some tarpon if they're around. If we head out a bit deeper, we'll break out the heavier rods for bottom fishing or trolling. Don't worry if you're new to this – our crew will show you the ropes, from baiting your hook to reeling in the big one. And for those swimmers out there, we've got you covered with some basic snorkel gear if you want to take a peek under the surface.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Grey Snapper: These guys are the bread and butter of Key West fishing. They might not be the biggest fish in the sea, but they're feisty fighters and tasty to boot. Look for them around rocky bottoms and reefs. They bite year-round, but summer's when they really turn on. Snapper fishing is all about finesse – light tackle and small baits are the way to go.

Yellowfin Tuna: While we don't always get into the tuna on a short trip like this, if we're lucky enough to find them, hold onto your hat! These speedsters can make your reel scream. They're typically a bit further offshore, but sometimes they'll push in closer, especially in the spring and fall. If you hook one, get ready for a workout – these fish don't give up easy.

Mahi Mahi (Dolphinfish): These beautiful fish are a Key West favorite. With their bright colors and acrobatic jumps, mahi mahi put on a real show. We usually find them near floating debris or weed lines. They're most common in the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. The best part? They're delicious if you decide to keep one for dinner.

White Marlin: Now, I won't promise you a white marlin on a 3-hour trip, but stranger things have happened in Key West waters. These bill fish are the holy grail for many anglers. They're more common in the late summer and fall, and catching one is all about the chase. We'll troll with specialized lures and if we're lucky enough to hook up, get ready for the fight of your life.

Red Snapper: Another local favorite, red snapper are known for their beautiful color and great taste. We find them over reefs and hard bottom areas. They're a bit trickier to target due to strict regulations, but when the season's open, they're a blast to catch. Red snapper require a bit more muscle than their grey cousins, so be ready to put your back into it!
