What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Key Largo, Florida for the first time?

I am not very knowledgeable of fishing seasons, but we liked being able to launch from John Pennecamp State Park and fish in some beautiful areas. Weather was perfect. Clear, sunny skies. Hot, but otherwise a great day fishing.

Book with Jay. He listens to what you are looking for and lives up to your expectations. On top of that, he can tell you so much about the ocean and the fish you are looking for and ecosystem. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable+

Decide if you want to fish the Atlantic Ocean side but make sure it is a calm day or the Florida Bay/ mangrove side which is quieter with different kinds of fish like snook, mangrove snapper sea trout, redfish etc.

February is just a little early for the big tarpon run. I was hoping to get lucky on some early arrivals. It didn't happen so changed the game plan, and had a blast the rest of the day smashing all different species of fish of all different sizes. Don't be afraid to adapt or even change your game plan. You might enjoy it. I loved it!

May - July is the best season to fish in south Florida. Better water conditions also. All things considering we still had a great time.

It was very windy and a rainy time when we were down in the keys. Lucky we had a day when the weather permitted us to go out and fish.

Be sure to check the weather and king tide as it affected us negatively, unfortunately.

Go with the locals - alot of them grew up here & know the waters, tides & gear best! Many are generation fishermen so they have lots of knowledge!

Fishing is awesome and restaurants expertly cool up your fish! Can’t beat key largo for good fighters that are also delicious!

I think a two hours trip is too short. Better go for the half day one. And be fast when you got something on the hook. Water and sun screen are vital.

Get your sea legs going, ten miles out you could experience some serious swells. If you have ever gotten sea sick consider staying in the bay or near shore.

Seas are a little rough and its hot, a perfect combination for ?. Come prepared, fishingBooker has some good videos we recommend you watch to help prepare you.

Four hours was about perfect for our children who are ages 10 and 11. I would bring snacks though, so at the end of the charter, they could munch on them.

Bring your sunscreen and definitely check out Home Grown fishing charters and Andrew Atwill and you'll have a great time

Be prepared for a great time! Lather up with sunblock, wear polarized sunglasses, wear a hat, bring a towel, enough water to hydrate and prepare for a great time.

Be flexible. Wind came out of nowhere and we had to change our plans. In doing so we still had an incredible time

Know the season and time for teh type of fish you want to catch...... when either the Mahi or Wahoo are in........ Late April, the Wahoo run out, and Mahi start to come in.....

We were lucky to snag a Wahoo today as it is the end of their season. January is the beginning. So if Wahoo is what you're after, know that is your window.

GREAT fishing! We were there the latter part of the month and had never fished Key Largo before. But we will be back as often as possible!

We have had good luck fishing at the end of March.for 2 years now. Maybe we were just lucky, maybe not.

There are plenty of great opportunities for fishing in Key Largo. Be flexible and try a number of different types of fishing.

Go with Captain Charlie Rogers we fished all our lives in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan this is not the same!!

Talk to your charter and make clear what your expectations are. If they are as good as Underwater Cowboy, they will be upfront and professional.

Bring sun screen, water, snacks & a good attitude! That's it! You'll have the best day of your vacation on the water!!

Take Dramamine the night before going out, tip that was given to us and we made it through the day well.

Patience - the fish are out there and they are biting. Full moon allows the predators to hunt all night so expect slower days when the moon is full, or near full.

Lots of fishing activity but I guess the time I was there wasn't a good time, perhaps the weather or the direction of the wind?

July not the prime time for fishing the flats. Water temp up. We did catch Mahi in deeper water-500'.

It was my first time fishing in Key Largo, and I'm a novice fisherman. However we could about 20 fish that day! it was amazing!

Tell people who are looking for a great fishing trip in Key Largo to book the charter with All Hann's on deck.Had a wonderful time.
