Key West Fishing in August

Change the dog days of summer into Spiny Lobster days by planning some Key West fishing in August. Lobster season is in full swing and it’s the perfect time to sample one of the Florida Keys’ best seafood treats. Find them in many local restaurants or go for a dive and try to catch a few yourself.

August Fish Species

High summer is the time to work the Flats for Bonefish and Permit, or just go out for some multi-species action fishing. Calm water makes it easy to fish the reef or run down to the Dry Tortugas for some amazing bottom fishing. The wrecks will hold schooling Great Barracudas, Jacks, Bull Sharks, and more.

August Weather Outlook

The Key West summer heat continues through August with temperatures averaging just below 90°F most of the time. A nearly constant high overcast provides some relief as does the cooling 9.3mph ocean breeze out of the east. Scattered thunder showers move through in the afternoons. From the ocean to the poolside, it is easy to spend most of the day in the water.

Fish Key West® wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Fish Key West® over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
