Fishing in Florida Keys

A tropical climate, stunning beaches, and amazing wildlife – these are the makings of a premier fishing place. Hop on one of many Florida Keys fishing charters and explore some of the most beautiful natural habitats in the US. Featuring 800 coral cay islands, the Keys are a unique ecosystem that’s sure to leave you breathless.

When it comes to fishing, the Florida Keys can deliver! This is a true year-round fishery where you can target pretty much any saltwater species from this part of the world. Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Sheepshead, and Jacks, are all awaiting inshore. The reefs hold great numbers of Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack, while heading offshore will see you reeling in Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Cobia, and many more.

Depending on what you want to do, there’s a whole host of fishing trips you can choose from. Half day trips are a wonderful way to spend time with your family and introduce your kids to fishing, while full day offshore trips are typically reserved for the more experienced anglers. Don’t hesitate to explore some of the specialized trips on offer, and make your own Florida Keys fishing adventure!

Fishing is a big industry in the Florida Keys, so it’s no surprise that you can find charters dotted along the islands from Key Largo all the way to Key West. In between, you’ll find them in Islamorada, Marathon, and Big Pine Key. Just drive down, and you’ll be spoiled for choice!

Rules & Regulations

Fishing in the Florida Keys is great year-round, but there are specific regulations when it comes to certain species. The best way to go about it is to book a trip with a reputable captain who’ll make sure you’re informed and always fishing within the law.

Florida Keys Fishing Seasons

January

Average temperatures in the Keys are around 70°F in January. Bonefish and Permit are biting on the flats so long as a cold front doesn’t scare them off. Offshore, it's time for the annual Key Largo Sailfish Challenge.

February

February is a great time to fish inshore for Redfish, Permit, Sharks, and Barracuda. Offshore, you’ll catch Sailfish and Kingfish. For a mixed bag and some guaranteed success, try hitting a few reefs close to shore.

March

Tourist season is in full swing in the Keys by March. The waters will be just as crowded, with Tarpon making their entrance inshore while Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi occupy the deep sea.

April

The backcountry is loaded with Tarpon, Redfish, Cobia, Jack Crevalle, Sharks, and much more at this time of year. Meanwhile, the deep sea is full of Wahoo, Tuna, large Mahi, and Marlin.

May

Flats and backcountry fishing are all the rage, with Tarpon taking center stage. Offshore, anglers are gearing up for the Florida Keys Dolphin Championship, the largest Mahi Mahi fishing tournament in the world.

June

Florida Keys flats fishing is spectacular in June. By now, the Grouper season is open in both Atlantic and Gulf waters, so get ready to fill your freezer! Offshore, you’ll hook into Tuna, Wahoo, and Marlin.

July

July keeps anglers busy with competitions like the Poor Boys Tarpon Fly Tournament and the Bacardi Key West Marlin Tournament. With clear waters and fair weather, this is an ideal time for long runs offshore.

August

Come August, things tend to quiet down in the Keys. Lobster season will be opening soon, and crustacean lovers everywhere are invited to come and celebrate at the Annual Key West Lobsterfest.

September

Fall is one of the best times for flats fishing in the Keys, with Bonefish, Barracuda, Snook, Redfish, and more biting vigorously. The reefs are bustling with Snapper, Grouper, and other bottom fish.

October

Many guides in the Keys take a vacation in October, so be sure to book a charter months ahead if you plan on fishing. Inshore fishing is outstanding in autumn, while winter game fish are arriving offshore.

November

November marks the beginning of The Key West Fishing Tournament, one of the most popular fishing tournaments in the Keys. This event lasts 8 months, open to anglers of any age or skill level.

December

Winter is a great time to set your sights on offshore big game fishing, with Kingfish, Sailfish, and Blackfin Tuna reaching their peak seasons. Or try fishing the flats between cold fronts.

Proper sunscreen, hats, proper shirts, and maybe a snack everything was awesome on our trip and be prepared to bring Fish home if you so choose like a cooler or something along those lines! Fillet knife won’t hurt either if you want to fillet your fish afterwards.

It’s hot! Plan ahead with uv shirts or bring sunscreen. You can bring your own water or snacks but they have some for sale on the boat too at reasonable prices overall. Also, plan on tipping the crew - cash or Venmo. They earn it!

April and May is the best fishing typically. But, if you have the right captain you can usually get on some fish anytime of the year.

May want to wear some thin fishing pants and long sleeve fishing shirt…..horse flies can get rough near the mangrove trees at times. Still totally worth it.

I would book a full day trip, which allows you to spend adequate time fishing at several locations including spots that are further away from port. Full day trips also are better if you want to target multiple species of fish. Lastly, let the captain know what fish you want to target in advance so that he can plan accordingly.

Had an AWESOME time on this trip, stayed on the bite for the majority of the time. Caught several keepers and some just short, if the bite fell off we was off to the next spot and right back on the fish. Captain Tom is a great guy and absolutely loved his energy. Got a great cuda in the boat, one that I’ve been wanting for a while now. Definitely recommend booking and letting him get you on some great fish!

Captian Brian was amazing. He kept us well informed every step of the way.We went out right on the fish. We were catching them as fast as we could reel them in. We even got selective on what we were keeping. We had such a great time Highly appreciated and recommend him to anyone looking to catch fish

My family had a blast with Capt. Bryan. We were in good hands the whole time and he was very knowledgeable and patient. He found a great spot and my boys, dad and I caught lots of mangrove snapper and a surprise grouper. At one point, all four of us had fish on our poles! We saw many other species on the reef and learned a lot. You just never know what you are going to see and experience. Be flexible, relax and enjoy the beauty, catching fish, and you will have an incredible time.

Went out for a six hour trip with Chris and Cody they worked there tails off to put us in the fish. While fishing was slow we managed to catch several mahi, a wahoo, and a barracuda. Super nice set up with great equipment. Cody continually cleaned the boat throughout the trip to ensure there was clean clear areas for us to land fish. Great trip, I highly recommend this trip!!

We did some inshore/nearshore fishing with captain Matt and had a great time. We were able to keep 6 yellowtail snappers and 1 mangrove snapper. We had Mac’s cook them up for a phenomenal lunch, now if only we could’ve scared away that pesky Barracuda that was trying to steal our fish as we reeled them in. Would recommend, would book again.
