Fishing For Iconic Species From The Reefs To The Humps
There’s a reason Islamorada has been dubbed, “The Sportfishing Capital of the World.” With an incredible diversity in fish species and fish habitat, there’s always something biting, regardless of the season. We’ve cut our teeth as mates and guides fishing offshore of Islamorada and we love sharing our experience on the reefs and humps with our clients. We pride ourselves in providing a comfortable offshore experience and that’s where the SeaKeeper comes in, providing stability and comfort while fishing in rolling seas.
Target Species
There are two main seasons for offshore fishing in Islamorada: summertime and wintertime. It’s all related to the Gulf Stream.
In the summertime, the Gulf Stream pushes us further offshore, where we target blackfin tuna and mahi—this is a great time to put a lot of meat in the box.
In the wintertime, the Gulf Stream pushes itself up against our reef—like an underwater highway that traps the bait along the reef’s edge. This is when the sailfish and mackerel come in. You’ll still catch your yellowtail snapper and mutton snapper on the wrecks, and there is always still the chance of a mahi or a blackfin.
Where We Fish
What makes our location so unique is that we are the closest destination to the reef edge in the Keys. At only 3.5 miles from the dock, it’s the shortest offshore run in the area. That being said, we don’t cut any corners. If we need to travel to find the fish to increase our odds, we’re going to do it.
In the summertime, we’re traveling anywhere from 15-30 miles with an average run time of 45 minutes to an hour. On the way out, if we see birds or bait balls, you better bet we’re going to stop and get in on the action.
In the wintertime, when the Gulf Stream runs along the reef, our travel time is down to 15-20 minutes and we’re running only 3.5-5 miles.
What's Included
We pride ourselves in using the highest quality, meticulously maintained boats, electronics, and tackle.
Everything for your offshore fishing trip is taken care of, just bring what you’d like to eat and drink. Our experienced captains meticulously maintain our boats and use only the best fishing tackle available. Our customized 32′ Whitewater Offshore Boat features the best electronics and GPS. It has ample seating, 360º fishability, padded gunwales, and a Seakeeper to keep us comfortable and stable in rougher seas. It’s an offshore machine designed to run hard and fish harder.
What To Bring
Bring everything you need for a day of fishing offshore in the Florida sun. We highly recommend breathable and comfortable SPF clothing and sunscreen. Bring comfortable close-toed boat shoes (with good grip). A hat or a visor always helps and polarized glasses really make the experience better.
The cooler is loaded with ice. Be sure to bring your snacks, lunch, and any beverages you’d like for the day.
You’re welcome to bring fly tackle if you want to fly fish but we have all spin tackle and bait covered.
