The Middle Keys of Florida present an angler's paradise, renowned for their diverse marine habitats and year-round fishing action. Stretching from Islamorada to Marathon, this region offers an extraordinary blend of backcountry flats, vibrant coral reefs, and deep oceanic waters. Anglers flock here for unmatched opportunities to hook prized species like Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit in the shallow bays, while the legendary Marathon Hump attracts offshore enthusiasts targeting Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and Marlin.
Islamorada, celebrated as the Sportfishing Capital of the World, anchors the Middle Keys with its rich fishing heritage. Further south, Marathon’s artificial reefs—crafted from sunken bridges and barges—teem with Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack. Long Key’s strategic spots like Channel 5 Bridge and Long Key State Park provide accessible inshore action, where species such as Snook and Barracuda thrive. Whether exploring the tranquil Gulf shallows or battling pelagics in the Atlantic depths, the Middle Keys deliver unforgettable expeditions for every fishing style.
