Salt Water Fishing in the Florida Keys

Fishing & the Florida Keys go together like PB & J. The only tough decision here is whether you want to hire a backcountry guide to take you through the mangrove shorelines and Keys wilderness or if you’d prefer to hop aboard a Party Boat or Deep Sea Charter for some offshore angling. Common catches in the Keys flats include barracuda, bonefish, permit, redfish, shark and tarpon and backcountry fishing in Florida Bay gives you a shot at black drum, ladyfish, pompano, redfish, sheepshead, shark, snapper, snook, tarpon and trout. If you and Dad are more novice fishers, the party boats are the perfect choice. Depending on where your boat anchors, you’ll have the chance to reel in mackerel, grouper, yellowtail, sheepshead, sailfish, wahoo, big king mackerel, or even blacktip sharks. If your dad is a more serious fisherman, however, consider the deep sea charters which offer the chance to fish at depths of 1,000 to 2,000 feet. Seasoned anglers will delight in the challenge of the hunt for dolphin (the fish), marlin, sailfish, shark, tuna and wahoo. Whatever you choose, you and Dad are pretty much guaranteed to have a great time.
