One of the most intriguing aspects of reef fishing is the fact that you never know what the next bite might be.  The variety of species available to catch on the reef in Key West and Florida in general is endless.

A bag of chum and some freebies rings the dinner bell for an amazing grab bag of fish species on the reef.

“Mutton snapper are one of my favorite fish to catch in Florida”, says Ali Hussainy.  “I promise you my Yeti Hopper will be carrying this fish back home.”

“We are so fortunate here in the Florida Keys to have access to such a great reef fishery and the variety of fish that live here.  Everyday I have to be geared up and ready to catch a diverse array of species.”, says Capt. Rush Maltz.
