First off I don't do this to make money or as a business this is just because I love to fish. This is not to advertise anything other then something LIF members may enjoy. I've been running many different trips From the keys to Maine for 30 years with a great network of guys. This trip is very special but having tough time filling some spots for the first time. Many of my regulars are not able to come. So I'm looking for few guys , your friends or a group that want to join in on a great trip. I limit boat to certain number so we have plenty of fishing room to enjoy. Please contact me about trip as I run this its closed to the general public.

If I had the cash to get there I would be in. It sounds like an amazing time. Spend a week in February in Key West fishing, what more could you want?

[Ransom]

The boats docked 100' from the Hog Fish Grill on Stock Island a hotspot with great food and great bar. So after dinner Sunday night guys roll right onto boat into there bunks captain run the Generator and you sleep like a baby in the cold A/C.. Monday when the boat departs its all fishing , laughs, food, for four days. The mates are top notch and your hot meals are cooked by chef.

It is a great trip a vacation on a boat out of key West fishing for 4 days in comfort. You can just drop a line to the bottom and catch just about anything Chicken rigging Giant Porgy's , Yellow Tail, King Fish, Black fin Tuna....But most rig for Grouper and Mutton Snapper. We have caught just about everything you never know and its not fished that hard he's pretty much the only boat that run that far. Giant Albacore as big as you never know out there . I Know one thing is you will be doubled over at the rail with some big Monsters at times guaranteed.

Awsome looking fish.....Im stuck fishing in my little boat because every time I have any extra money around..I am compelled to give it to Campsite or pick any other LGS.....I write them all off as dependence on my taxes......

[Huntington Guy]

Any photos of the cabin, berths, galley, heads?

[Huntington Guy]

With a small group, as long as the clients were all ok with it, is there any chance to get some diving in on this trip? Are you fishing structure or wrecks? If diving were ok would spearing be ok?

[Ransom]

I probably have some check out the website . The cabin has tables to sit or eat. Down below deck are the bunks. The gallery has it own area they call you when food is ready. Some guys fish some eat then they fish you eat. Two heads comfortable one has shower but were concervative on fresh water for showers. Big upper deck to lounge out if you like. Bunks are comfortable nice size for you and some gear. It's fine for what we do never heard complaints

lol nice to be on private charter we have a great crew of guys. One time in 30 years of doing trips I had one jerk. Guys drink responsibility but I'll be the first to hear about someone out of control and deal with it. Yes I strongly am against hard liquor don't want to loose anyone over the side and ruin a great trip. Beer never had an issue and Cuomo is not on the boat I'll leave it at that. My job is to make the trip easy and memorable I deal with all the prep and issue the guys just get on the boat and enjoy

I'd love to go but I already have a fishing trip booked that same week.

Key West is fun in itself. I've been there a few times. We went fishing once just for the afternoon. Got a lot of little fish, then the local restaurant cooked them up for a small fee.

Looks awesome! If I could swing it I would definitely be in!!!!

[Ransom]

For $750 its really a good deal considering the price of a hotel but your fishing all food and gear included. The nice weather large upper deck If you want to relax and enjoy the weather , place to lay your head that's comfortable and catch some incredible fish. The Muttons are all Big not like the over fished waters close to shore. Everything big and these fish all fight hard. Being limited amount of guys you can see in some of the pictures you have all the room you need no crowds very comfortable not like an open boat. Like I mentioned we walk you thru the process I have some great connections to get the best baits. We always do great and guys love this trip. Just the fact that If you don't want to rig target the big fish you just drop down with what we call a Chicken rig and catch fish after fish many times even big fish. We mainly fish hard bottom and reefs .

This is so tempting.... A few years supply of fish in the freezer.... It's out of my comfort zone ( that's why I watch it on tv ) The closest I've come to a trip like this is once we did a day charter to "the Canyon" . I never thought there could be so many biting flies in such a dead calm on the hottest day of the summer, 80 miles from shore

still tempting , price sounds great..
