We’ve created an Angler’s Portal for those that have already booked their trip. This area is dedicated to you from FAQs, payment links, forms, everything you need in one area! You can find it on the drop-down menu, under More, Angler’s Portal.
A friendly remember that our prices will increase starting January 1, 2022. Now through the end of December, if you secure your 2022 trips with a 10% deposit, you will be locked into the current rates! Lock in your dates, before someone else does.

Visit Key West, it’s a subtropical fishing paradise located with direct flights daily from 23 US Cities, or take a 3hr scenic drive from Miami International Airport through the famous 7-mile bridge. Depending on what you want to catch we have reef and wreck fishing for yellowtail, grouper, or snapper with Capt Zack, 8th generation Conch (native) of Key West. He’ll definitely make sure you go home happy!
Fishing Report
We’ve had some large tunas this month, one weighing in at 216 lbs aboard the Makaira with Capt Jefry! Nothing beats having fresh tuna at the lodge, except telling everyone you caught it! This week has been HOT with 28-40+ sailfish bites on each boat!
Did you see Capt David, his crew, and anglers of The Hooker released a Humpback Whale stuck in a net on Nov 29?
