Info

Ideal Conditions:

Calm seas with light to moderate winds, clear skies, and stable weather patterns create ideal fishing conditions. Water temperatures ranging from 75°F to 85°F are perfect for attracting game fish.

Moon Phase:

Fishing tends to improve during new moon and full moon phases when tidal movements are stronger, increasing fish feeding activity offshore.

Best Period:

The prime deep sea fishing season in Key West runs from late spring through early fall (May to September), with peak action in summer months when warm water migratory species are abundant.

License:

All anglers 16 years and older fishing in U.S. federal waters must possess a valid Florida saltwater fishing license, which can be purchased online or at local outlets in Key West.
