It's not really about the big fish. It's about the experience this charter can be great first time experience or if u are a pro. Always ask questions we learn something new every day.

Had multiple captains cancel on us, at short notice , so even though we tried to book ahead, we were disappointed.

Keep in contact with the Captain prior to your trip as weather and wind conditions can affect the bite. Plan for some flexibility if possible.

Captain Pat was outstanding! Great guide that put us on fish everyday. Knows his stuff. He’s patient with a great sense of humor. Couldn’t have been better!

Remember snack and drinks prior to the morning of the charter. There are a few places open but make sure you are not late to the boat you will miss out in the morning bite.

If there will be wind it will be rocky on the water. Glad we had Dramamine. If you think you may have a hard time with nausea best to take something so you won’t be bothered.

The fishing was limited due to weather and ocean conditions, but good enough to leave a new Florida Keys angler wanting more, worth the experience.

Know what type of fish you want to catch and book the right kind of guide . Bone fishing takes patience this is not a trip for kids .

Be open minded. Tides, wind, time of year and other conditions can effect how many fish you get. But Captain Hann will do everything possible to get you on best the fish possible.

The summer is busy along with winter season - book your fishing trips out by a couple months as you don’t want to not get

Weather can be a bit unpredictable and pop up storms/showers are common, so it's important to go with someone who knows the area and weather patterns/resources.

Yes - trolled and live fished - the tugs on the reel were nice - helps to go with an experienced captain like Justin - he definitely made a difference

It is super hot in Key Largo in June. If you're fishing it will be deep sea trolling, otherwise you'll pass out from the sun. Go in an earlier month for reef fishing.

We enjoyed inshore fishing. We would definitely recommend it for people with kids. It is much more active than trolling.

Enjoy your day on the water and take your fresh catch to Lazy Lobster where they will prepare it for a great meal.

This was a perfect trip for my wife and me I would recommend it for those who would like to experience a bit of the Everglades parkland and catch a variety of fish

I’m not from the Keys, so I only gave it a good review because I don’t know how great it really can be.

Expect all weather conditions and use motion sickness medication even if you do not think you will get seasick.

Bring food drink sunscreen and you will need time to find the fish more time to find the fish as the ocean is vast

Die beste Saison soll scheinbar im circa Dezember/Januar oder im Juli/August sein. April ist trotzdem eine gute Zeit, für Anfänger sogar ideal. Es muss ja nicht gleich ein Hai oder Tuna sein ?

Waters can be a bit choppy in April. For an amazing experience, if there is a slight possibility you may get sea sick, be sure to take something ahead of time.

Yes. Just make sure the boat you’re chartering is size appropriate for the number of people you’re bringing.

It was our first time in Key Largo and completely different to fishing in England and France... I would definitely recommend trying this to anyone visiting Key Largo for the first time.

Key Largo has an awesome fishery, but due to the weather the day we went we weren’t able to take full advantage of it, but did the best we could and got a good meal of fish.

Skip the bigger charters who aren't concerned with catching fish. Find the locals that have smaller more personalized trips and can get you on fish.
