Captain John, a 5th-generation Key West native, has been professionally guiding anglers since 2008 and launched his own charter business in 2018. For experienced anglers seeking the ultimate offshore challenge, Captain John and Captain Stephen offers Pulley Ridge fishing trips—targeting some of the deepest and most remote waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
Your adventure takes place aboard the “Heavy Hitter,” a 35’ Invincible, built for long-range performance, speed, and stability. While the charter accommodates up to six guests, 4–5 is ideal for this long-distance trip to ensure maximum comfort and space.
Pulley Ridge fishing is all about going the extra mile. Using specialized electric reels and deep drop gear, you’ll target species like Snowy Grouper, Yellowedge Grouper, Queen Snapper, Tilefish, and Barrelfish. The surrounding waters also offer chances at Blackfin Tuna and even Swordfish, depending on conditions.
With travel times of several hours each way, this is a full-day trip. Guests are encouraged to bring food and drinks, while all bait, tackle, and equipment are provided.
Book your Pulley Ridge fishing charter today and experience one of the most extreme and rewarding deep sea fishing trips available in the Florida Keys.
