Fishing on the Compass Rose, out of Key West, Florida, is unlike any other charter you have ever been on. For me, Captain Mike Weinhofer, it's what I love to do and it’s a chance to show clients my passion and why I love fishing in the beautiful Florida Keys. As Captain of Compass Rose Charters, I like to have fun, so be sure to bring your sense of humor.
My goal is to get people involved in all levels of fishing. I will teach you as much or as little as you want to know about Key West fishing. Some people want to help run the boat, hook their own bait and catch the fish and even gaff their own fish. I'm all for that! The more you learn with Compass Rose Charters the more fun you'll have on your trip. There is no need for apprehension. As with most charter boat captains, there isn't a mistake you can make on the boat that I haven’t already made at least once in my career as Captain of the Compass Rose. I’m sure I would make plenty of mistakes at your job too. I believe fishing should be fun. Fishing is supposed to be fun. I like to laugh at (I mean with) my clients and I may even bust your chops a little, but I am committed to making the charter experience fun for everyone on the boat.
