Contact and booking details

Bryce Street's return to inshore fishing

Bryce grew up fishing around Tampa Bay. Annual family visits introduced him to the Keys, where he later moved and began fishing professionally. His first Keys work included running a larger center console offshore.

In 2018 he shifted his charter focus to inshore and backcountry fishing. That move returned him to the kind of fishing he enjoyed growing up. The current service should be booked on that basis, rather than assuming an older offshore photo means a long blue-water trip is the standard offering.

Half days and longer plans

The posted four-hour price is $700. The operator presents it as its most common option and a fit for first-time anglers or guests who prefer less time aboard. Ask Bryce how the route will suit your party and your date.

Six hours is $900 and allows more time to reach farther fishing areas. Eight hours is $1,200 for a fuller day around Key West. Extra hours increase flexibility, but they do not guarantee a particular fish or a fixed number of catches.

Make the fishing goal clear

The backcountry can offer different fishing opportunities from the exposed offshore grounds. Tell Bryce if you want to learn light tackle, focus on one species or give children an introduction. The final plan should follow local conditions and the experience level of the guests.

A complete current boat specification and passenger allowance were not confirmed in the reviewed pages. Obtain those details directly, including shade, seating and any bathroom arrangement. The vessel and guest limit should be part of the reservation rather than guessed from gallery pictures.

Contact and departure confirmation

The published contact address is 5950 Peninsular Avenue. Call Bryce or email the service for the specific marina slip and arrival time. The Alabama-area-code phone is the number supplied by the Key West operator itself.

Before paying, request a full list of included rods, bait, fishing licenses, drinks and catch cleaning. Settle the deposit and weather cancellation terms at the same time. Pack your food, sun protection and other personal supplies after Bryce confirms the day's length. A well-defined small-group plan is more useful than booking the longest option without discussing expectations.
