Be patient as the weather can change very quickly and be flexible as nature can be kind of unpredictable in the keys.

It was great fun for our family however, we didn't have much hands on as far as casting and learning how to catch in Key Largo. We did enjoy seeing the sharks and experiencing the unique mangrove ecosystem.

Bring Deet, sunscreen and a t shirt, you can easily burn if you don't adequately monitor your sun exposure during a charter. Trust your captain!

Be flexible in times and target species. Hire experienced guides. More time on the water increases your chances of hooking up.

Sunscreen, snack if you're prone to seasickness if going offshore in choppier conditions. Plenty of water.

Be ready for a wide variety of fish. I'd highly recommend a 6 hour trip to give you enough time to hit more spots during the trip.

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.

Captain Tony & Travis were really good at putting on the fish and we started catching fish right away. We caught about 30 yellow tail snapper, some bonita and a blue parrot fish (beautiful) that we returned. About 16 lbs of fillets net. Great day.

Adjust your expectations based upon the weather (we had high wind gusts (20 mph+) depending on the day. This impacted the tarpon runs (we had zero sightings over 3 days). Communicate with your guide on what a “good” day of fishing (best case would look like). Also, and just as importantly, communicate what is also “almost” just as great. Your range of a good time and the guides will be really well aligned for the best experience.)

Go in knowing it’s fishing not catching. Some days you hammer them some days you don’t - enjoy the fact you’re able to afford to be on the ocean with you friends and family - anything else is a bonus. Life is short. Get after it

Check the fishing reports and be flexible with your timing based on weather, moon, etc, if possible. If you can't be flexible, don't worry. Have a good attitude and have fun.

The fish are close to shore here and plentiful. Reef and wreck fishing is non-stop action. Then once dinner is caught? Try your luck going a little deeper for some bigger fish. Half day trip was plenty for inshore fishing some near by restaurants will cook your catch fresh is best

If you are fly fishing you have to be a GREAT caster. You need to be able to cast far with great accuracy without a bunch of false casts. Have your double haul down. You need to also be able to cast back handed. Like trout, tarpon scare when they see too much activity over their heads. Last year my line even under water would scare them. This year I switched to sci angler grand slam clear lines and still using a real long leader..around 12ft.
