  • What can people expect on a fishing trip to the Florida Keys? (Key West, Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine Key)

  • You can expect the trip of a lifetime when you come down to the Florida Keys.  According to the International Game Fish Association, more saltwater fishing world records have been set in the Florida Keys than any other fishing destination on the globe.  The offshore fishing can be excellent as many of the fishing charters troll for dolphin, sailfish, marlin, wahoo and kingfish.  You can also bottom fish for snapper and grouper offshore.  Party Fishing Boats are available for deep sea bottom fishing where you can catch snapper, grouper and even dolphin. 

  • The backcountry and flats fishing provide some awesome fishing for bonefish, redfish, permit, tarpon, sea trout, jack crevalle and more.  Fly fishermen flock to the Florida Keys to experience the inshore fishing for a variety of species. 

  • The fishing is excellent year-round in the keys, but there are better months for specific types of fish.  Tuna, snapper, bonefish, permit and bonito can be caught in good numbers throughout the entire year.  The spring also offers very good fishing for marlin, sailfish, wahoo, grouper, tarpon, snook, sea trout, shark, kingfish, cobia and amberjack.  The hot weather in the summer brings in the marlin, wahoo, tuna, dolphin and tarpon.  In the fall, marlin, sailfish, wahoo, grouper, snook, redfish, shark and kingfish are going strong.  The winter months provide some excellent fishing for wahoo, sailfish, grouper, snook, redfish, shark, kingfish and cobia.
