Come aboard TNT for an exhilarating full-day inshore fishing excursion that runs eight hours through the reefs and wrecks of the lower Florida Keys. Anglers pursue a range of species — from mutton and yellowtail snapper to jacks, grouper, and the occasional wahoo or sailfish — using a variety of tackle and methods tailored to the bite.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FISH

Species Variety

The trip targets a wide cross-section of Lower Keys species: mutton and yellowtail snapper, jacks, grouper, and occasionally wahoo or sailfish — a program built for mixed-rod action across inshore structure.

THE TACKLE

Multiple Techniques on One Day

Anglers can expect to employ a range of methods — deep dropping, light tackle, electric reels, drift fishing and jigging — letting the crew match technique to species and conditions.

THE SITES

Reefs and Wrecks of the Lower Keys

The route moves between coral reef structures and artificial wrecks that hold schooling snapper and grouper, and sometimes produce faster pelagic strikes when conditions allow.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

The outing is a full eight-hour day on the water exploring the lower Keys’ reef lines and wrecks. The rhythm is a mix of drifts and anchored drops over structure: bouts of focused casting and jigging around productive spots, interspersed with quieter runs while the crew moves between reefs. With all necessary bait and tackle provided, anglers can switch between light-tackle action and heavier deep-dropping or electric-reel work as the bite dictates.
