Trip details
Mention fishing “Out West” on any dock in the keys and heads will turn. Fabled locations known only by name to most…Tail End Buoy, Rebecca Shoals, New Ground and of course the Dry Tortugas of pirate legends. These areas are home to literally thousands of small shipwrecks, patch reefs and ledges teaming with fish that may have never seen a hook… The angler must travel from 30 to 70 miles offshore to the west, southwest, out into the Gulf. These trips are not for the faint of heart or the novice angler. This is hands-on, world-class light tackle angling that demands ability and experience beyond that of a weekend fisherman. If you think you’re ready to battle the largest fish and most fish of your life…let’s go west. The options “Out West” are nearly endless for seasoned anglers. On the natural reefs and structure Snapper and Grouper including the mammoth Goliath Grouper tipping the scales in excess of 300 pounds can be targeted by dropping live bait fish to the bottom contours. Monster Amberjacks, Cobia and Permit cruise the water columns to the surface ever ready to go to war. Troll for massive schools of Dolphin or Kingfish or sight cast to free roaming Tarpon. All the while, the impressive Giant Barracuda and awe-inspiring Sharks willingly come head-to-head to battle for supremacy. 1 2 3 4 5 6 All of this awaits the adrenaline-driven angler, far offshore, on the distant horizon, “Out West”.

Get in touch with Key West Pro Guides
Please note: **Fuel price included** Please Note: One especially important requirement to fish the Gulf Wrecks, past 9 miles from shore, is your guide needs to have the proper Federal fishing permits… More than 95% of the light tackle guides out of Key West DO NOT have these permits, as there was a moratorium on issuing any new permits, established in 2006, that severely limited the number of boats that can legally fish Federal waters. If you book with one of these guides, two things will happen, you will either fish closer in state waters, that everyone fishes, or you will illegally fish Federal waters. Our light tackle guides possess these permits, and can therefore take you to the best wrecks.
