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

Be open minded when fishing and listen to the locals. They know what’s in season and can be very helpful.

Don’t wear flip flops, wear shoes with grip as the waves can toss you around a bit and stability is a must when reeling in the big ones!

Great place to visit with family or friends. Recommend Marker 88 and Lazy Days restaurants. Theater of the Sea is not to be missed.

Enjoy life and friends. Great place to Vac. Came for a week this time. Will have to stay three or four weeks next year.

Find a good charter to start your trip and they will teach you all you need to know about the area to get ready for fishing on your own for the rest of the trip

Be prepared for anything. Weather is a factor when going offshore. There are always options when the weather is inclimate.

Weather was a problem cold and windy captain did a great job considering the conditions we did catch fish

Book with Dee Dee. Capt. Chuck Shimmelman is very accommodating and found fish when they were hard to find. Justin is the best 1st mate I've fished with.

Relax and have fun. Captains know the waters and put you on the fish. Wonderful for experienced to novice.Highly recommended.

Book a charter with Trent. Take your catch to a local restaurant after. Awesome time

Book with captain Joe. Joe and Jessica were both nothing but pleasant and accommodating.

We come down October-November every year and fishing has not been a problem in the keys

Book the full day trip! We hit so many different places and caught a nice variety of fish!

It's too hot during the day if you're not from here. It's especially hot this year over others.

It was calm seas and fishing might be a little difficult in the summer but we got PLENTY of fish.

Come with a positive attitude, family or friends and have a great time.....bring sunscreen!

If going for dolphin (which I highly recommend), do so in late summer or early September.

Come down and enjoy fishing for a wide variety of fish in all different body’s of water.

Forget shore fishing. Access is limited and a boat or kayak is needed to effectively fish.

I understand that March is not the best time of the year to be fishing at Islamorada.

Absolutely. This was my first trip to Islamorada and I am already planning the next.

Definitely book this fishing charter. It’s an experience you’ll never forget.

Look up shore fishing areas and parking before you arrive. Lots to do between charters

Catch your dinner then go for something just for the fun of it! Might even be more dinner!

The reef is almost a sure thing. Late afternoon shark fishing works too, winds were lighter.

Be ready to adapt to the weather. Trust the captain's judgement. He fishes every day here.

Just relax and let the captain put yu right where you need to be to catch great fish

Bring sunscreen and Off. Be yourself, be patient and enjoy nature and your loved ones.

Check out Captain Scott, he is very knowledgeable and will find you fish. He is a great guide.

Take a guide, you can't get to the places without knowledge of these waters. Be smart
