Fishing in Big Pine Key
With the waters of the Gulf kissing the shores on one side, and the wilderness of the Atlantic on the other, it’s easy to see what makes the Keys unique. And fishing in Big Pine Key is no exception. Small and beautiful, this little town will give you the best of both worlds – a relaxing day and exciting fishing!
You can fish for just about anything in these waters. Inshore you’ll see Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Pompano – to name a few. There’s also big Snapper and Grouper lurking in the reefs, waiting to take your bait. Head a bit further offshore, and you’ll be rewarded with trophy Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and of course, Marlin.
If you’re looking for an introduction to the area, or just want to take your family out for a day of fun, a half day inshore trip is a great choice. However, if you want to test the waters for some big pelagics, think about booking a full day or an extended full day trip as you’ll need more time to get to the fishing grounds.
There are fishing charters everywhere you look in Big Pine Island! Really, it’s a small town surrounded by water, so just head to the nearest waterway, and chances are there’s a charter waiting there. Just choose between the Gulf and the Atlantic and head over to that side of the island.
Rules & Regulations
Hop aboard a Big Pine Key fishing charter, and you won’t have to worry about fishing licenses, as you’ll be covered by the captain. There are regulations when it comes to certain fish species, so book your trip with a reputable captain who’ll keep you in the loop and make sure you’re fishing within the law.

Great trip! My son and Captain Jim bonded immediately. After trying to make me a fisherman, Captain Jim accepted failure with dignity . Luc and Captain Jim were able to catch enough Mahi to satisfy our taste for fish. If you want to learn about the ocean and learn how to catch fish, then Captain Jim is the charter to book. It was a pleasure to spend the day fishing with a man with similar old fashioned American values as myself.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS CAPTAIN JIM.

Beautiful crystal clear water, fish are plentiful but Mother Nature is not to be messed with. We saw a huge water spout touchdown not far from us for about 6-7 minutes. Storms come out of nowhere and the currents are strong. If you are inexperienced hire a guide

Big Pine Key is very close to Marathon. Marathon being far better of a location when truly wanting the Florida Keys Fishing Experience. There are no shortage of available "Honey Holes" for finding the fish you're looking for.

Mahi Mayem! After a beautiful 30 minute ride on calm seas, we ended up in the most bluest water I have seen. Captain Mark put us in a front row seat of a fish frenzy! It was chaos for a solid 45 mins-my son and I had several Mahi doubles during the mele. At the end, we had Mahi for the freezer and a memory for a lifetime! Thanks Captain Beamer!

My friend and I went tarpon fishing with Captain Jeff Zellers on a 6 hour trip. Fishing conditions were not ideal, with steady east wind and a good bit of chop on the water. Captain Jeff did a great job anchoring the boat in such position to optimize our hook up chances. We brought one to the boat and jumped and fought4 others. We did not see any other boats with a hookup. Captain Jeff is patient, pleasant, and knows his stuff on the tarpon fishing. I would recommend him highly.

We initially planned to fish on the Atlantic side, but the wind picked up and we decided to change plans. Capt Beamer switched gears to keep us on the water and we headed to the back country. An hour later we were on the flats pulling in fish. I had a great time finishing and will definitely book with BGS South Charters again.

I told Capt. Jim that I wanted to fish for Tarpon. He did his job. We saw more then 50 Tarpon and were able to cast to at least half of them. We also go onto permit, snook and grouper.
Capt Jim is easy going but very determined to find fish. If you fish with him, you will not be disappointed. I will fish with him again.
