Often referred to as the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World, ” Islamorada is a town located in the Florida Keys with a geographical position that is very special indeed. In fact, it is this component that makes possible Islamorada fishing charters to get to and fish in two very different marine ecosystems: the shallow backcountry of Florida Bay and the deep-water areas of the Atlantic Ocean. This is the very essence of fishing in the area.

Inshore fishing tours usually concentrate on the “flats” where fishers try to catch bonefish, permit, and tarpon – all species known for their evasiveness. Being able to successfully fish in these flats means that one has to posses a thorough knowledge of tides, fish migration, and the use of the map to locate these narrow channels lined by mangroves. On the other hand, offshore fishing trips lead to the Gulf Stream where anyone can fish for various big pelagic species like sailfish, mahi-mahi, or blackfin tuna. Moreover, the reef areas found in between the shore and the deep sea offer plenty of opportunities to target snapper and grouper.

Those running these fishing tours are, in most cases, very experienced captains who not only value conservation but also promote the use of sustainable fishing methods. Apart from fishing, a day out with them will also mean that you will be supplied with all the necessary specialized equipment and navigation skills that will help you safely get to the areas with the greatest fish populations. Islamorada fishing charters provide a wide range of options for various skill levels and interests, from people wanting a relaxing day in the backcountry to those desiring a very intense deep-sea fishing challenge.
