What is blackfin tuna fishing in Key Largo all about?

In Key Largo, blackfin tuna are highly sought-after game fish known for their speed, strength, and delicious taste. These sleek and powerful fish can be found in the offshore waters of Key Largo, particularly around reefs, wrecks, and areas with significant baitfish activity. Blackfin tuna are often targeted by anglers trolling offshore, where they can be caught using a variety of lures and baits.

One popular method for targeting blackfin tuna in Key Largo is trolling with artificial lures such as feather jigs, cedar plugs, and skirted trolling lures. These lures mimic the baitfish that blackfin tuna feed on, enticing strikes from these fast-moving predators. Anglers often troll at varying speeds and depths to locate active fish, adjusting their tactics based on water conditions and the behavior of the tuna.

Another effective technique for catching blackfin tuna in Key Largo is live bait fishing. Anglers can use live baits such as pilchards, ballyhoo, and small bonito to entice strikes from blackfin tuna. Live bait fishing can be particularly productive when targeting larger blackfin tuna or when fishing in areas with high concentrations of baitfish. Anglers can deploy live baits either on the surface or at varying depths using downriggers or weighted lines to target blackfin tuna in different parts of the water column. With their speed, agility, and fighting prowess, blackfin tuna provide anglers in Key Largo with an exhilarating offshore fishing experience.

What are the most popular months to fish for blackfin tuna fishing in Key Largo?

In Key Largo, the blackfin tuna fishing season is generally year-round, with opportunities to target these prized game fish available in various months. However, certain times of the year are considered more favorable for blackfin tuna fishing due to factors such as water temperature, baitfish migration patterns, and weather conditions. Typically, the best time to target blackfin tuna in Key Largo is during the spring and fall months when water temperatures are moderate and baitfish populations are abundant.

During the spring season, which spans from March to May, blackfin tuna can be found in offshore waters around Key Largo as they migrate northward along the Florida coastline. As water temperatures begin to warm, blackfin tuna become more active and feed more aggressively, providing anglers with prime opportunities to target these fast and powerful fish. Anglers can often find blackfin tuna congregating around offshore reefs, wrecks, and underwater structures, where they hunt for baitfish and other prey.

Similarly, the fall season, particularly from September to November, offers excellent fishing for blackfin tuna in Key Largo. As water temperatures begin to cool and baitfish populations increase, blackfin tuna become more abundant in offshore waters. Anglers can capitalize on this by targeting areas with baitfish concentrations, such as weed lines, current edges, and temperature breaks, where blackfin tuna are likely to be feeding. With the right tactics and timing, anglers in Key Largo can enjoy consistent success targeting blackfin tuna during these peak seasons.

What techniques are popular for catching blackfin tuna in Key Largo?

In Key Largo, anglers employ various effective techniques to target blackfin tuna in the offshore waters surrounding the area. One popular method is trolling with artificial lures, such as feather jigs, skirted trolling lures, and cedar plugs. Anglers typically troll at different speeds and depths to mimic the movement of baitfish and entice strikes from blackfin tuna. Varying the trolling speed and using different lure colors and sizes can help anglers locate active fish and increase their chances of success.

Another productive technique for catching blackfin tuna in Key Largo is live bait fishing. Anglers often use live baits such as pilchards, ballyhoo, and small bonito to tempt blackfin tuna. These live baits can be deployed on the surface or at various depths using downriggers or weighted lines, depending on the location of the tuna in the water column. Live bait fishing allows anglers to present a natural-looking bait to blackfin tuna, enticing them to strike and providing an exciting fishing experience.

Additionally, vertical jigging is a popular and effective technique for targeting blackfin tuna in Key Largo. Anglers use heavy metal jigs that resemble baitfish to mimic the movements of prey and attract the attention of blackfin tuna. Vertical jigging involves dropping the jig to the desired depth and then rapidly jerking it upwards to create an erratic movement that triggers strikes from tuna. This technique is particularly effective when targeting blackfin tuna around underwater structures, reefs, and wrecks, where these fish are known to congregate. With these proven fishing techniques, anglers in Key Largo can enjoy thrilling encounters with blackfin tuna in the offshore waters.

What other species are popular in Key Largo?

Key Largo offers anglers a diverse range of fish species to target aside from blackfin tuna, providing exciting fishing opportunities throughout the year. One popular species to pursue is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado. Mahi-mahi are commonly found in offshore waters around Key Largo, particularly near floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Anglers can target mahi-mahi using a variety of techniques, including trolling with artificial lures, casting with live baits, and drifting with natural baits. These colorful and acrobatic fish provide thrilling fights and are prized for their delicious taste, making them a favorite among anglers in Key Largo.

Another sought-after species in Key Largo is the sailfish, known for its impressive speed, agility, and acrobatic leaps. Sailfish can be found in offshore waters around Key Largo, particularly along current edges, temperature breaks, and underwater structures. Anglers often target sailfish using trolling techniques with artificial lures or live baits such as ballyhoo or mullet. Sight fishing for sailfish is also popular, with anglers looking for sailfish feeding near the surface or tailing in the water. Landing a sailfish is considered a prestigious achievement among anglers in Key Largo, and these majestic fish provide memorable fishing experiences.

Additionally, Key Largo offers opportunities to target a variety of reef and bottom-dwelling species, including snapper, grouper, and amberjack. Anglers can venture out to the nearby reefs and wrecks to bottom fish for species such as yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, and red grouper. Bottom fishing with live or cut bait, as well as vertical jigging, are effective techniques for targeting these reef species. Whether fishing offshore, inshore, or on the reef, Key Largo provides anglers with an abundance of opportunities to target a wide variety of fish species and enjoy memorable fishing experiences in the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys.

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Casey went above and beyond today to put us on the fish, as well as being very accommodating! His boat is top of the line, and he has all nice new poles and reels, as well as everything on his boat is impeccably clean. You will have a relaxing experience with a captain who is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of fishing and keeps you moving and busy for your time on the water. We knew right away once we met captain Casey at the marina we booked with the right captain because he is extremely professional, courteous, and as I stated earlier, extremely accommodating. For me personally, I ended landing the largest fish I have ever caught before which was really exciting. At the end of our trip, he did filet all of our fish and did a very good professional job, which was very nice so we did not have to do that. His first mate today was his cousin Luke, and he was very attentive to us, the rods, fish, upkeep with the boat, and anything you could imagine. Overall, we have found our main “guy” for fishing when we visit down here, which is fairly often because we only live 3 hours away. We are excited to go back out with Captain Casey again! If you want a true Florida keys fishing experience, Captain Casey is your guy!

    Jessica C. with Casey Y. of Tavernier, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great day fishing with Capt. Pete and Christy! Our teenager got his first deep sea fishing experience and reeled in a couple huge tilefish, which made for a great dinner that evening and we had plenty more to take home. We would definitely take another trip with Capt. Pete and Christy on our next trip to the area and I'll recommend them to others.

    Charity P. with Pete R. of Islamorada, Florida
