Buy some bait to take with you like squid and shrimp. They have drinks on board but it is nice to have your own.

This guide did an outstanding job putting us on the fish ... for a shorter afternoon trip! It’s nice to be out on the water at sunset and the fish are biting!

Get a guarantee that you will be taken to where the big fish are, like you were told. I catch more fish on full charter trips for 65 bucks.

You better get out there and do it!
If you don't you're really missing out.
Fishing in the keys is the best!!!

Pick a good group to fish with, take a trip with the group you know- a private fishing trip is definitely worth it!

Key west is best from water. Take a trip out and enjoy it. Very calm waters compared to the northeast. Can practically see the bottom in the shallows. Awesome fishing

Check out weather report via NOAA's website to see wave conditions. Then try to book your charter on calm days. Otherwise...you probably can't go wrong fishing in Key West.

Fairly calm waters, balmy temperatures and an abundance of different types of marine life. Your choice on what to fish for, lots of options.

Take meclizine if you are susceptible to motion sickness. Use a good sun screen. Dress with lightly colored dry fit clothing.
Jeff Kopaska
Go for an experience just catching some fish, not necessarily a specific target species.

If you're fishing in late August, be ready for rain and sun. Try to be flexible.

Great for people who are seasoned fishers or people who have never held a rod before.

Yessir! Use Reel Easy Fishing Charters! Our Captain was very patient and a great teacher!

Come prepared for the sun. Highly recommend UV shirts and hats and don’t forget the sunscreen.

Find a good captain, like Reinier Perez, that knows the area and knows where the fish are.

You don’t get skunked but there’s bigger and better fish to be caught elsewhere.

Prepare for rapidly changing weather when off shore, bring warm clothes for kids (April)

Book your trips early and go out for a 6 hour trip to increase your chances at the bigger game fish

Bring warm clothes if fishing in the winter. It can get pretty breezy on the boat.
