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

Key West's Ultimate Quick Cast & Swim Adventure

Ready for a slice of Key West paradise? Our 3-hour Quick Cast Fishing and Swimming Trip is the perfect way to get your feet wet (literally) in the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to wet a line, this trip offers a little something for everyone. We'll hit the hotspots for inshore fishing, bottom fishing, or even shark fishing, depending on what's biting. And when you need a break from the action, cool off with a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters. It's the best of both worlds, all wrapped up in one unforgettable Key West experience.

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. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a treat. We'll cruise to the day's hotspots, whether that's the flats for some light tackle action or deeper waters for bottom fishing. You might even find yourself going toe-to-fin with a shark! Don't worry if you're new to fishing – our crew is always ready to lend a hand, from baiting hooks to landing your catch. And when the Florida heat cranks up, just say the word and we'll find the perfect spot for a refreshing swim. With a max of 6 guests, you'll get plenty of personal attention and space to cast.

Rods, Reels, and Relaxation

On this trip, we keep things flexible to make sure you have the best time possible. Depending on the conditions and what's biting, we might use light tackle for inshore fishing, heavier gear for bottom fishing, or specialized equipment if we're going after sharks. We provide all the gear you'll need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. For inshore fishing, we often use light spinning gear with live bait or artificial lures. If we're bottom fishing, expect to use slightly heavier tackle with cut bait to target those reef dwellers. And if sharks are on the menu, we'll break out the heavy-duty gear for an adrenaline-pumping fight. Don't forget your swimsuit – when it's time to cool off, you'll appreciate the crystal-clear waters of the Keys.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Grey Snapper: These crafty fish, also known as mangrove snapper, are a staple of Key West fishing. They're known for their sharp eyesight and tendency to hang around structure. Grey snappers put up a good fight for their size, typically ranging from 1-5 pounds. They're most active during the summer months and make for excellent eating. Anglers love targeting these fish because they require finesse and patience – it's a true test of skill.

Yellowfin Tuna: While less common on our inshore trips, we occasionally encounter smaller yellowfin tuna. These speedsters are prized for their fighting ability and delicious meat. They can range from 15-200 pounds, though the ones we catch inshore are usually on the smaller side. Yellowfin are most abundant in the late spring and fall. Hooking into one of these powerhouses is an experience you won't forget – they're known for blistering runs that can smoke a reel!

Mahi Mahi (Common Dolphinfish): These colorful acrobats are a favorite among anglers and diners alike. Mahi mahi are known for their vibrant blue-green and gold coloration, which fades quickly after they're caught. They typically range from 15-30 pounds in our waters. Mahi are most plentiful in the summer months and are often found near floating debris or weed lines. Landing a mahi mahi is always exciting – they're known for their aerial displays and delicious, mild-flavored meat.

White Marlin: While it's rare to encounter these on our shorter trips, white marlin sometimes venture into our inshore waters. These billfish are smaller than their blue marlin cousins, typically weighing between 50-150 pounds. They're most common in late summer and early fall. White marlin are known for their incredible speed and agility, often putting on a spectacular show with jumps and tail-walks across the water. Catching a white marlin is a bucket-list item for many anglers.

Red Snapper: These ruby-colored beauties are a prized catch in Key West waters. Red snappers are typically found near reefs and other structures, weighing anywhere from 5-20 pounds. They're most abundant during the summer months when regulations allow for harvest. Anglers love targeting red snappers for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. Landing a big red snapper is always a thrill – their bright color makes for great photos!
