Key Largo sits at the northern tip of the Florida Keys, offering unparalleled access to both shallow flats and deep blue water. The proximity to the Gulf Stream means pelagic species like mahi-mahi, wahoo, and sailfish are often just minutes from the dock. Inshore, the extensive mangrove systems and grass flats hold tarpon, snook, redfish, and permit year-round. Our local knowledge includes the best spots for each season, from winter sailfish runs to summer tarpon migrations.
The clear waters and consistent weather make Key Largo an ideal fishing destination for anglers of all skill levels. We provide instruction for beginners while challenging experienced anglers with advanced techniques and trophy opportunities.
Key Largo's unique geography creates diverse fishing opportunities within a short boat ride. The shallow Everglades backcountry to the west offers sight fishing for tarpon and permit, while the Atlantic side provides access to reef fish and offshore pelagics. Water temperatures remain favorable year-round, with peak fishing typically occurring during the cooler months when baitfish concentrate along the reef line.
Seasonal patterns play a crucial role in our fishing success. Winter months bring sailfish and kingfish closer to shore, while summer offers excellent tarpon fishing in the backcountry. The reef structure provides consistent action for snappers, groupers, and other bottom species throughout the year.
