Donna StanfordRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNEWEpic Trip!
3/4 Day Afternoon Trip • 2 adultsAs seasoned anglers who have traveled far and wide to fish, we can honestly say this was hands down our best fishing experience yet! Ryan and Cory were absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. My daughter landed a mac daddy bull mahi-mahi, and I was blessed with a gorgeous large female. We also pulled in several more mahi, along with bonito and runners. The action was incredible, the company was even better, and an all-around good time was had by all. This wasn’t a one-and-done trip for us—we will absolutely be back many more times. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience with an outstanding crew, book the trip!

What's biting with Miss Chief Charters in Key Largo
The temperatures begin to cool. This is one of the quietest months in Key Largo. But be careful – a lot of captains and guides choose this month to go on vacation so don't leave it too late to plan your charter trip.

Key Largo offshore fishing frenzy!!
Jun 10, 2025 • Key Largo
? What a day for Chris Viera and crew on the Miss Chief today! Our 3/4 offshore charter out of Key Largo was absolutely on fire! They hammered the Mahi Mahi, reeling in 15 of those beauties, with some pushing 20lbs! And if that wasn't enough, they also landed 7 feisty Blackfin Tuna. This is what Key Largo fishing dreams are made of! Huge congrats to the whole team! ? #KeyLargoFishing #OffshoreFishing #MahiMahi #BlackfinTuna #MissChiefCharters #FishingCharter #FloridaKeys

Great Mahi Mahi fishing!
Jul 19, 2024 • Key Largo
Calm seas and a strong bite offshore make it a great time fish in Key Largo. A 6 or 8 hour charter will get you out in the gulfstream, targeting mahi, wahoo, blackfin tuna, sailfish and the elusive blue marlin. Half day charters are producing good catches of snapper, grouper and sharks.
