Captain Pepe's Conch 27 light tackle boat in Key West - shipshape and ready to catch fish. Available for 1/2, 3/4, and full-days of fishing.

Light tackle fishing in Key West usually refers to catching a fish in a sporting manner: with a line of lower breaking strength.

It's hand-to-hand combat, with the angler actually fishing, setting the hook, and battling the fish.

In the Florida Keys, this type of fishing is most associated with snapper and grouper fishing. But that is not to say you won't catch other species.

For example, if you reserve a charter with Capt. Pepe, you may use this technique to go after every fish in the ocean including: grouper, snapper, permit, shark, cobia, barracuda, king mackerel, wahoo, tuna, sailfish, marlin, dolphin, bonita, and tarpon.

His boat, a Conch 27 (one of the most preferred light-tackle hulls used in Key West) is state-of-the-art and loaded with top equipment (fishing gear, electronics, hull, and engines).
