Coolwater Charters - Types of Fishing






Due to our speed, shallow draft and versatility we are able to offer the following types of fishing:

Offshore | Wreck | Reef | Inshore | Bottom

OFFSHORE: Sailfish, Tuna Wahoo & Mahi Mahi

Offshore fishing on a light tackle boat is done with live bait either drifting, slow trolling or running & gunning. We fish color changes, rips, under birds or near debris.

WRECK: Cobia, Snapper, Grouper, Amber Jack, Permit & Barracuda

Either the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean offers many wrecks that are loaded with fish of all types. Wreck fishing can be very productive for the beginner to the expert fly fisherman.

REEF: Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish & Barracuda

Reef fishing is an exciting adventure it usually produces lots of action especially while using live bait. Reef fishing is usually done at anchor fishing the bottom or fishing the surface.

INSHORE FISHING: Tarpon, Permit, Cobia & Sharks

April though July come to Key  West and battle the famous silver king tarpon. Experience a thrill of a lifetime as you reel in a giant tarpon. While tarpon fishing you may very well hook a permit which is also a very powerful fish on light tackle. 

Shark Fishing is usually done in shallow water while anchored or drifting. Whether using bait, artificials, or fly sharking can be a lot of fun and an awesome experience. Coolwater Charters - Inshore Fishing

RATES FOR GUIDES:
My rates are $600 for a half day, $700 for 3/4 day, and $800 for a full day. You might find a few guides may charge, for example, $550 for a half day, $650 for a 3/4 day, and/or $750 for a full day. Here in Key West guides are not hard to find, GOOD ONES are. There are many part-time guides with other jobs as their primary source of income. There are also hired captains who don't own the boat they are running. Basically, they're learning their way around the ocean on your dollar. My guess is that you'd want a guide that fishes FULL TIME and is on the water 4 or 5 days a week during season and knows where the fish are (or works very hard to find them). As I said a guide is not hard to find, GOOD ONES are. The old saying 'you get what you pay for' truly holds here. You'll find my rates are consistent with other top-notch guides in Key West.
