TROLLING FISHING
IN KEY WEST

Key West, Florida offers some of the finest trolling fishing on the Gulf Coast. Key West sits at the end of the Overseas Highway and the beginning of a world-class fishing adventure. The surrounding waters offer an unmatched diversity of fishing environments, from the shallow backcountry flats of the Gulf side to the deep blue Atlantic waters just minutes from the harbor. Tarpon, permit, and bonefish roam the flats, while the reef line produces yellowtail snapper, grouper, and hogfish. Offshore, the Gulf Stream delivers mahi mahi, wahoo, sailfish, and blue marlin. Key West has been a premier sportfishing destination for over a century, with a deep-rooted fishing culture and some of the most experienced charter captains in the world. The warm, clear waters fish well year-round, and the variety of species available on any given day is truly staggering. Whether you want to sight-cast to tarpon on the flats, drop baits on the reef, or troll the Gulf Stream for big game, Key West has it all. The trolling waters here — calm bays, estuaries, grass flats, and mangrove-lined shorelines — provide world-class angling opportunities that draw fishermen from across the country.
