Lower Keys and Key West Barracuda Fishing Charters

Ready to do battle with the “Tiger of the Flats?

Barracuda frequent the flats of Key West and the lower Keys backcountry and are an absolute BLAST to target on light tackle or fly!

These fish range from under a pound to upwards of 30 pounds and make blistering runs when hooked on light tackle fishing equipment!

Best Time of Year to Catch Barracuda in Key West and the Lower Keys

The cooler months of the year are best for targeting ‘cudas on the flats but they’re present all year long and can be targeted with both artificial lures and live bait.

Fishing white sand potholes on the flats can be one of the most productive ways to “sight cast” for barracudas – as well as blind casting green tube lures.

And did we mention that these speed demons can be target on fly as well? Trust us…hooking an adult barracuda on fly gear will test both your tackle and skills!!
