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

If on a half or full day trip and go out far into the open ocean .... bring your see legs it gets rough on the windy days. Motion/seasickness bracelets work great! Have phone or waterproof camera for personal footage of what will be an amazing experience!

Weather that day seemed to be perfect but didn’t catch allot of fish going through the mangroves. The captain even did recommend booking a 4 instead of a 2 hour trip to go further out to better chances of catching more fish.

Be flexible with locations and species of fish you expect. We had a great time in the more shallow waters since the weather made deeper waters too choppy for those of us with less experience on the water. We had a great time and took our catches to a nearby restaurant for dinner, which was delicious.

Definitely come early you will want to get going early the fish tend to bite at dawn and we caught most of our fish in the first few hours. This is a fun trip and lots of catch here. This trip is also a great place to relax in warm and sunny weather.

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!

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 some a great water habitat for fishing and tons of wild life can be seen on any given day.

Just be patient! A bad day on the water is better than a great day at work as they say!! Just enjoy everything about being in such a beautiful place! March weather is beautiful!

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.

From what I’ve seen and heard we did ok with the weather we were dealt. Planning next time in mid summer.

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.

Captain Randy knows how to catch fish and where to find them! He has amazing experience and knowledge to pull from! Totally recommend fishing with him!!!

Fishing in the Atlantic is a lot of fun, when you catch a fish you never know what it might be.

We asked for a sailfish experience. Because of having no live bait onboard, we fished for bait instead of sailfish. Waste of time and money.

Take the instruction given. We fish several different species and they are all unique in their own way

Make sure you have the right guide/charter. Knowledge is power out on the water! Especially offshore.

it was terrible weather conditions, and despite it, we caught fish in the inlets of the mangroves... couldn't go offshore...

Definitely give the Underwater Cowboy a call if you are looking to book a great fishing trip. We had two great days of fishing!

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.

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.
