October in Key West is a prime time for bottom fishing, and there’s no better way to experience it than aboard the *WildBill*. With cooler temperatures, calmer seas, and abundant fish, this is the season where anglers can truly test their skills. And when it comes to targeting snapper, the waters around Key West are second to none.
The *WildBill*, a well-equipped sportfishing boat, provides the perfect platform for bottom fishing enthusiasts. Snapper, especially mangrove and yellowtail snapper, are plentiful in these waters during the fall months. These fish are known for their tasty filets and feisty fight, making them a top prize for anglers of all experience levels.

Besides snapper, you might also hook into grouper, porgies, or mackerel, adding variety to your catch. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, fishing aboard the *WildBill* in Key West offers an unforgettable experience, especially in October when conditions are ideal and the fish are biting!
