Kilo Whiskey Charters

Member since April 2023 Key West, United States
Background
Captain Anthony Del Valle, originally from the vibrant streets of New York City, now calls the scenic waters of Key West, Florida his homeport. With the vast expanse of the southeast Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico as his playground, Capt. Anthony has dedicated over a decade to guiding and captaining fishing expeditions. Capt. Anthony's journey into the world of fishing began at a young age, sparked by family trips and the thrill of the catch. His passion for the sea and its mysteries led him to explore fishing destinations worldwide, honing his skills and deepening his love for the sport. His professional career as a guide and captain blossomed over ten years ago, driven by a desire to share his expertise and the joy of fishing with others. Today, he holds current merchant mariner credentials, underscoring his commitment to safety and excellence. Capt. Anthony operates a fleet of well-maintained, state-of-the-art fishing boats designed for both inshore and offshore adventures. His team is composed of seasoned anglers and maritime professionals who share his passion and dedication. Family is at the heart of his operation, with many members involved in various aspects of the business, ensuring a warm and welcoming environment for all guests. Capt. Anthony's guiding style is a blend of deep expertise, personalized attention, and a commitment to creating memorable experiences. Unlike other guides, he emphasizes a holistic approach to fishing, teaching not just the techniques but also the importance of conservation and respect for the marine ecosystem. His ability to adapt to each guest's skill level and interests sets him apart, making every trip unique and rewarding. When not on the water, Capt. Anthony enjoys exploring the culinary arts, often incorporating his fresh catches into gourmet meals. He is also an avid traveler, continually seeking new adventures and experiences that enrich his life and his guiding practice. His love for photography allows him to capture the beauty of the natural world, sharing these moments with his followers and clients. Customers booking a trip with Capt. Anthony can expect a professional, safe, and exhilarating fishing experience. From the moment they step on board, guests are treated to top-notch service, expert guidance, and a friendly atmosphere. Whether targeting trophy fish or enjoying a leisurely day on the water, every trip is tailored to meet the specific desires and expectations of each client. With Capt. Anthony, every journey promises not only the thrill of the catch but also lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the marine environment.
Techniques
Captain Anthony thrives on mastering a variety of fishing styles and techniques, tailoring each outing to the conditions and target species. He uses **trolling** to cover large areas and attract fast-moving fish like Mahi Mahi and Kingfish with lures or bait. For bottom-dwelling species like Grouper and Snapper, he employs **bottom fishing**, dropping baited hooks to the seabed. **Deep dropping** allows him to reach depths for species like Tilefish, using heavy weights and specialized rigs. **Live baiting** is his go-to for larger predators, using live fish to attract Tarpon and Marlin. With **kite fishing**, he suspends bait on the surface to mimic injured prey, enticing Sailfish and Mahi Mahi. **Spearfishing** sees him diving to hunt fish underwater, perfect for Cubera Snapper. Additionally, he uses **jigging**, **drift fishing**, and **fly fishing** to adapt to various environments, ensuring a successful and thrilling fishing experience for all his clients.
