So next month in goin on vacation with the woman to key west. I'm wondering what will be biting around then and what produces well for you. I'm for sure going on some chartered trips but I might try some peir and surf fishing any info or tips would be appreciated! Thanks

Snapper grouper wahoo tarpon snook mostly

What u catchin them on

I chartered a boat in Key West with my wife and son about a year ago. Nice boat with a friendly captain and one crew member. We went out about 7 miles and there we had company of other boats. About 3 hours of fishing produced grouper and trigger fish. Upon returning to the dock the crew cleaned our catch and we took it over to a restaurant where it was weighed and cooked  for us. After a large fresh seafood lunch we took a lot of fish back to the condo. Would have been perfect trip except the wife got sea sick. She asked me what to do and I told her the only thing that would cure sea sickness was to set under a tree   

Call Cept lee get some fresh dead speedo and goggle eye and ballyhoo for the snapper and grouper .. High speed troll with at least 50 wide and up tackle for wahoo... And live shrimp Or pilchards for snook and tarpon

I bet the largemouth bass and peacock bass fishing down there is insane, since most people hit the flats for saltwater fish. That is if there are any ponds or canals with freshwater..

I didn't know there was fresh water ponds down there il have to bring some bass tackle to

There aren't. Don't.

 

If you're going the charter route, you'll be fished out as that's a pretty good time of year. Enjoy the plethora of bars to drink the soreness away.
