Sunup Sundown Sportfishing is all about fishing the stunning waters of Islamorada. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Taylor can tell you all about them.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Cobia, Permit, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Lemon Shark, Great Barracuda, Tarpon, Snook, Jack Crevalle, Goliath Grouper, Blacktip Shark, Bonefish, and whatever else takes the bait.
You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Taylor also offers fly fishing, but please if you are interested, say so in advance so gear can be provided.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
You'll step aboard a 21' Center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Bottled water is included but you may want to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now's the time to experience fishing in Islamorada for yourself, with Sunup Sundown Sportfishing!
