Recommended Charter???

[Carpmaster]

Can anyone recommend an offshore charter out of Key West, my wife wants me to take her to Key West on a vacation and she said that if we go we should book a fishing trip....anybody able to recommend a QUALITY charter service and what type of fishing(i.e. wreck/reef, trolling, flats...)?????

Although I've fished quite a bit in the Keys, I've only chartered from Marathon. However, you could ask you question on the Florida Sportsman's website. They have a message board. Go to the Florida Keys page.

You'll probably have to register to post but you may have a lot of questions before you go. I like to bottom fish for grouper and snapper and troll for dolphin personally.

Be Careful of what they call "cattle boats"
They try to stick as many people as possible on a boat and don't fish just wander around just outside the island til time to come back.

There's a guy on here named Striper Phil. See if you can contact him. His brother is a guide in Miami and I bet he can help you.
