Key West Bully Net Charters

Key West Bully Net Charters operates in Key West, Florida, and specializes in nighttime bully net fishing excursions for lobster. The company offers guided trips that take place in shallow grassy flats around Key West, where participants spot lobsters emerging from hiding spots as they feed. Using a hand-held bully net, anglers and non-anglers may catch lobsters in clear, calm waters where moving water helps expose prey. Featured on The Adventure Collective, Key West Bully Net Charters is listed among local activity providers offering hands-on marine experiences in the Florida Keys.
Trips focus on the bully net technique—searching shallow flats at night to locate feeding lobsters and securing them with a net. The experience centers on observation, timing, and careful netting in the quiet, protected waters typical of Key West flats. Guests can expect a close-up view of marine life and the chance to engage directly with a traditional Keys fishing method. The business provides the bully net fishing trip as its main offering and operates from Key West, Florida, making it convenient for visitors staying in the island city.

Photographs and trip summaries on that listing illustrate the night-time lobster-hunting activity and the shallow-flat settings used for bully netting.
