Following in the Wake of Hemingway - Fishing Key West

Ever since bigger-than-life Papa Hemingway put Key West on the big gamefish charts, sportfishing anglers have been heading to Key West waters. Key West's first claim to fishing fame may be the deep sea and offshore fishing Papa loved, but backcountry, flats and light tackle fishing is just as popular.

Targeted species include: marlin, sailfish, shark, dolphin (the fish, also called mahi mahi), grouper, snapper, amberjack, wahoo, tuna, mackerel, tarpon, bonefish, and cobia.

Let our fishing reports be your guide to Key West fishing.

Key West Gaff Cam – Looking Up From the Hook

Ever wondered what it’s like down below when you’re fishing? Captain Craig of Key West’s premiere sportfishing yacht has rigged a camera to his gaff so you can see the fish at eye level as it’s pulled alongside the boat.







Captain Craig was the first to attach a video camera to the gaff, but at least one other captain got hooked on the idea. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Here's a clip where the cam encounters a shark.
