Good Times Key West

Member since August 2016 Key West, United States
Background
A marine mechanic by trade, the captain needed to get out of the shop. That's when he started Good Times Key West. Every day now he enjoys sharing the amazing activities and scenery that the Florida Keys backcountry has to offer. Fishing, snorkeling, sandbars, dolphin viewing, and much more.
Techniques
Set tunes, set anchor, set chum. Light tackle rods off the stern for snapper, Big poles up on top rocket launchers with live baits. catch some table fare, and scream some drag. Or pull up the beach and let the wife and kids play, while you walk the beach sight casting to fish in the shallows. Happy family + happy fisherman = Good Times Key West. Other activities include snorkeling, dolphin watching, sunset trips, and my personal favorite remote island/ sandbar sessions.

Cold water temps.
Cold water temps.
Feb 3, 2026 Key West
The water temp has been coldest I've seen in a few years. The inshore fishery was almost non existent for a couple days. Luckily as soon as the cold weather turned, the mangrove, lane snappers, and sharks slowly starting coming back. On the days with decent conditions and adventurous guests, we ventured to a bit deeper reefs looking for a little warmer water temps. We found some nice red grouper (season closed till May) and a verity of quality snappers. Beyond the reef has been decent. Not exactly all the designer fish, but plenty of action to had be had. Decent numbers of of cero, Spanish, and king mackerels, some cudas, and bonita have been caught. I heard of a handful of sailfish being caught, but was not luckily to hook or see any myself.

December mahi and sailfish!
December mahi and sailfish!
Dec 3, 2025 Key West
Yesterday was a pretty special day. Not only for our birthday girl onboard, but also for the crew. We spotted, chased, and caught multiple sailfish in as shallow as 25โ€™ of water on the reef. As we ventured offshore it didnโ€™t take long before we found some December mahi in 150โ€™. We whacked a few mahi, then trolled our way back home, along the way we found some bonus mackerel in hawks channel. Everyday is different and yesterday was certainly one to remember.

Offshore bite heats up with cooler temps
Offshore bite heats up with cooler temps
Okt 30, 2025 Key West
The cooler weather is bringing our winter time fisheries. Live bait has been plentiful. Pelagic species including Blackfin tuna and mackerel are pushing in shallower towards the reef line. Makes for less commute and more fishing time! Inshore bite has been steady with impressive numbers and size of a verity of species. Cobia have been found on the wrecks. Big muttons in the shallow waters of the backcountry, and quality yellowtail and lane snappers on the patch reefs. Weather your looking to go offshore or inshore fishing while in Key West, weโ€™d love to get you hooked up.
