Summertime fishing in the Florida Keys is all about fishing deeper water to find the fish. Because it's so hot the shallow water heats up and makes the fish go deeper. Offshore fishing for Mahi Mahi and Tuna at the Marathon Humps stays strong into the summer. Offshore wrecks are also great for Large Mutton Snappers, Grouper, and Amberjacks. For our shorter 4-6 hour trips Reef fishing for Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and Grouper is another great option for Summertime fishing. More

The Florida Keys is littered with shallow water wrecks. Usually we like to fish the inshore wrecks that are found in less than 30 feet of water. These wrecks are productive for Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, and numerous other species all year long. We prefer to use light tackle spinning gear with live bait or lures depending on how the bite is that particular day. Wreck fishing is awesome for catching a lot of fish.

These toothy critters can be found all over the flats in the Florida Keys. We like to target them using Rapala artificial lures on light tackle spinning gear.

One of the most consistent really big fish we catch here in the Florida Keys is Sharks. These toothy critters average between 4-10 feet long and are known for their long drag screaming runs.

So you will be able to pick out the Shark you want to catch out of a school of sometimes over a dozen circling the boat.
