Recon Sportfishing Charters Key West - 8-Hour Backcountry Fishing

Recon Sportfishing Charters offers a private 8-hour Key West backcountry fishing excursion aboard a 24’ Pathfinder 2400 TRS, a versatile bay boat built for shallow flats, mangrove shorelines, grass flats, and inshore waters around Key West. Departing from Oceans Edge Resort & Marina, this full-day charter gives up to 4 anglers more time on the water, more flexibility with tides and conditions, and the opportunity to cover a wider range of productive fishing areas than a half-day trip. Depending on the season, guests may target tarpon, jacks, permit, barracuda, sharks, snapper, cobia, and other hard-fighting Florida Keys species. Captain Ryan Aper has spent more than a decade guiding anglers through Key West, the Lower Keys, and the Marquesas, using local knowledge of weather, tides, fish movement, and guest experience level to shape each trip. The 8-hour format is ideal for anglers who want a deeper backcountry experience, more fishing time, and the potential to reach remote scenic waters away from the busiest areas near Key West.
