Key West reef fishing is great for lots of action and great
eating fish. There
are also many patch reefs located in between Key West and the
reef line for those windy days. Patch reefs can provide
plenty of action and calmer water, especially during the
winter when cold fronts approach. I also fish the Gulf
of Mexico reefs when the wind is blowing out of the south. |
Key West has a huge barrier reef located south of Key West
and the Florida Keys about 6 miles. Key West also has a deeper
secondary reef line or bar located less than a mile past the
reef in many areas. The barrier reef off Key West is one of my
favorites to fish for yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper and
grouper.
If you fish the Atlantic reefs, you may also encounter red grouper, jacks, african pompano, mackerel and may even run into a mahi mahi,
wahoo, tuna or sailfish. |

If you fish the gulf,
you have shot at cobia, king mackerel, permit, gag grouper, red
grouper, black grouper, mangrove snapper, sharks and several
others. Fishing the reefs around Key West is a great way for
constant action all day long.
