Definitely find out what the water temperature is to evaluate. What kind of fish you’re gonna go for in the time length.

Sure this is a safe first trip in the keys. The four hour trip is just long enough to catch dinner and still learn bout open water fishing

The sun and heat are brutal. You may think you want to wear short sleeves and shorts but don’t. Long breathable pants and a breathable shirt would be best.

Inquire to what fish are in season and what fish you will be after as it depends on how long of a trip you book.

Check with an experienced Captain and take their advice on when to schedule your next fishing trip to the area. Try to come at the peak fishing times.

I would recommend starting off with a 2 hour fishing charter and then moving up from there. Next time we will be ready for a half day of fishing in Key West.

Plenty of water. Wear hats . Use sunscreen. Check on size of boat before you book . Morning is best if you can’t handle the heat of sun .

I recommend using reel easy charters for first timers. We have been coming down for years and had a hard time finding good captains. Not the case with reel easy charters.

We had a great experience, but it was our first trip during the summer months, so I would do your research/homework before booking a trip.

Shop around and ask questions to the charter you are interested in. Ask about the type of fish they plan on going out for and how far. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Take a charter and enjoy the day. They will handle getting you to a good spot to catch. Take your fresh catch to a local restaurant and have them cook it. Ours was excellent!

Know the fish are there but sometimes not biting. That’s way it’s called fishing not catching. Know Captain Dave is trying everything to get you fish

Make sure to bring a hat, sun glasses and some water/Gatorade. Consider motion sickness pills if you have never been out on the water. Bring sun screen. Relax, have fun and enjoy your experience!

Do a half day and get to understand the ropes. Then if you get what you expect go do more. Just do it!

I recommend confirming your boat directly, because when using Fishing Booker, I was pawned off to another vessel the night before.

Be prepared for high winds - let you captain know if you prefer flatter water or are good with some rollers.

See what the bite is like and if the weather isn’t great get a charter with someone who can bring you to the shallower sections to have a better shot at some fish.
