Head out with Captain Alex for an action-packed day of fly fishing in the Florida Keys! Islamorada is a world-famous fishing hot spot and for good reason. Its productive inshore flats provide excellent year round fishing for almost every fish species in the hemisphere. It's no wonder that backcountry fishing and saltwater fly fishing were both pioneered here. On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Alex will take you into the beautiful Islamorada backcountry flats where you'll be fly fishing for sought-after fish including Bonefish, Permit, Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon. Part of what makes fly fishing for these species so exciting is the challenge of getting such elusive fish to bite. Accurate casts are almost always required, and the windy conditions of the Florida Keys only add to the challenge. While Captain Alex is happy to give you helpful instruction to accommodate your skill level, this trip is recommended for experienced fly fishers who go out on the water more than a few times a year. Captain Alex has a listing for this same trip with traditional rods and tackle that we recommend for those who aren't quite expert casters, and we guarantee it's just as much fun! For those experienced anglers who feel comfortable enough with their fly casting, Captain Alex outlines the skills you should have down with in his "About Your Guide" section. He also requests that anglers do some research on the aspects of fly fishing for Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit prior to this trip. Captain Alex is highly skilled and even the most experienced anglers will benefit from his instruction. It may take a bit of practice, but as Alex will tell you there's nothing more rewarding than landing one of these fish! You'll be aboard a 17' Maverick HPX-V with capacity for 2 anglers. Powered by a 115 HP Mercury engine, this maneuverable boat will have no problem letting you creep up and sight-cast on some fish even in hard-to-reach waters. It comes equipped with GPS, a Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box to store your catches. Captain Alex will even clean any keepers you catch to take home for a tasty meal. Captain Alex will provide all rods, reels, tackle and fishing licenses. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, and any food or drinks you might need. Come aboard with Captain Alex and get ready to show off your skills! Read More

He comes prepared, and will provide you with all the rods, tackle, live bait, or artificial lures you will need for a successful day out on the water. If you decide to chase the sport fish, Captain Mike will use his knowledge of the tides and weather to take you to the best Tarpon, Bonefish, or Permit flats in the area. On these beautiful clear water flats, Captain Mike will use his wireless trolling motor to stealthily sneak you across the flat to sightcast right to the fish! If you choose to bag some gamefish, Capt. Mike will put his 30+ years of experience to work taking you to all the secret channels, mangroves islands, and "honey holes" to help you catch your limits on delicious species including Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Gag Grouper, and more. Plus, if fly fishing is your game of choice, Captain Mike just asks that you bring your own gear. He can also provide his own flies and fly rods as backup. Besides that, all you need to bring is your food and drink of choice, sunglasses, and a hat, and Captain Mike will take care of the rest on your Florida Keys fishing adventure! Read More

What is permit fishing in Key Largo all about?

In Key Largo, anglers have the opportunity to target one of the most prized species of fish in the region: the permit. Known for their powerful fights and challenging behavior, permit are highly esteemed by anglers for their elusive nature and impressive size. These sleek and silver fish inhabit the shallow flats and sandy bottoms of the Florida Keys, where they feed on crustaceans, shrimp, and small fish. Key Largo's extensive network of flats, channels, and mangrove-lined shorelines provides ample habitat for permit, making it a premier destination for anglers seeking to test their skills against these elusive adversaries.

Permit fishing in Key Largo requires patience, skill, and keen observation. Anglers often sight-fish for permit, scanning the crystal-clear waters of the flats for signs of feeding fish. Once spotted, anglers must carefully present their baits or flies to the wary permit, using stealthy approaches and precise casts to avoid spooking them. Common baits and lures for permit fishing in Key Largo include live crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish, as well as artificial flies tied to mimic the natural prey of these finicky feeders. Successfully hooking into a permit is a thrilling experience, as these fish are known for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps, testing the skills and equipment of even the most seasoned anglers.

Key Largo's permit fishing season extends throughout the year, with peak opportunities occurring during the spring and fall months. During these times, warming water temperatures stimulate increased permit activity, prompting these fish to move onto the flats in search of food and spawning opportunities. Anglers can also target permit during the summer and winter months, although they may need to adjust their tactics and target areas with suitable conditions. Whether casting to tailing permit on the flats or drifting over deeper channels and wrecks, permit fishing in Key Largo offers anglers an exhilarating and rewarding experience amidst the stunning natural beauty of the Florida Keys.

What are the most popular months to fish for permit in Key Largo?

In Key Largo, the permit fishing season extends throughout the year, offering anglers ample opportunities to target these prized game fish. However, certain seasons present more favorable conditions for permit fishing, with peak opportunities occurring during the spring and fall months. As the weather warms in spring, permit become more active and move onto the shallow flats and sandy bottoms in search of food and spawning opportunities. This period offers anglers optimal conditions for sight-fishing, as the clear waters of Key Largo provide excellent visibility for spotting feeding permit and presenting baits or flies.

Similarly, the fall season in Key Largo offers prime opportunities for permit fishing as temperatures begin to cool and permit activity increases. During this time, permit continue to feed voraciously on crustaceans, shrimp, and small fish, making them more susceptible to anglers' offerings. Anglers can expect to encounter schools of permit patrolling the flats and channels, providing thrilling sight-fishing opportunities and memorable battles with these powerful fish. With favorable weather conditions and abundant fish populations, fall is considered one of the best times of year to target permit in Key Largo.

While spring and fall are typically regarded as peak seasons for permit fishing in Key Largo, anglers can still find success targeting these elusive fish throughout the rest of the year. Winter and summer months may see fluctuations in permit activity due to changing water temperatures and weather patterns, but dedicated anglers who adapt their tactics and target areas with suitable conditions can still encounter permit in Key Largo's waters. Whether casting to tailing permit on the flats or drifting over deeper channels and wrecks, permit fishing in Key Largo offers anglers an exhilarating and rewarding experience amidst the stunning natural beauty of the Florida Keys.

What techniques are popular for catching permit in Key Largo?

Permit fishing in Key Largo demands a blend of patience, skill, and finesse due to the elusive nature of these prized game fish. Sight-fishing is a prevalent technique employed by anglers in Key Largo when targeting permit. Anglers scan the clear shallow flats and sandy bottoms for signs of feeding permit, such as tails breaking the surface or subtle disturbances. Once spotted, anglers must carefully approach the fish to avoid spooking them and make precise casts with bait or flies to entice a strike. Using live crabs, shrimp, or small baitfish as bait, or tying on realistic crab or shrimp fly patterns, anglers aim to mimic the natural prey of permit to increase their chances of success.

Another effective technique for permit fishing in Key Largo is drift fishing over flats, channels, and structure-rich areas where permit are known to frequent. Anglers drift quietly with the current, casting baits or flies ahead of the drift path to cover a wide area and intercept passing fish. This approach allows anglers to explore different depths and habitats where permit may be feeding or traveling, increasing their chances of encountering these elusive fish. Using light tackle and fluorocarbon leaders to present baits or flies naturally and stealthily is crucial for enticing wary permit to bite.

Key Largo's permit fishing season extends throughout the year, but anglers may need to adapt their techniques and strategies based on changing conditions and seasonal patterns. During the warmer months, permit may be more active on the flats and in shallower waters, making sight-fishing a preferred method. In contrast, during cooler months or inclement weather, permit may move to deeper channels or wrecks, requiring anglers to adjust their tactics accordingly. Whether sight-fishing on the flats or drift fishing over deeper waters, permit fishing in Key Largo offers anglers an exciting and challenging pursuit amidst the stunning backdrop of the Florida Keys.

What other species are popular in Key Largo?

In addition to permit, Key Largo offers anglers a diverse range of fish species to target, ensuring an exciting and varied fishing experience. One popular catch is the bonefish, known for its speed, agility, and challenging behavior. Bonefish inhabit the shallow flats and sandy bottoms of the Florida Keys, where they feed on crustaceans, shrimp, and small fish. Anglers in Key Largo often employ sight-fishing techniques to spot feeding bonefish and make precise casts with bait or flies to entice a strike. These elusive fish provide thrilling battles and require finesse to catch, making them a favorite among fly fishermen and light tackle enthusiasts.

Another sought-after species in Key Largo is the tarpon, revered for its impressive size, acrobatic jumps, and formidable fighting abilities. Tarpon are known to inhabit the coastal waters, channels, and flats around Key Largo, particularly during the warmer months. Anglers target tarpon using a variety of techniques, including live bait fishing, lure casting, and fly fishing. Tarpon fishing in Key Largo offers anglers the chance to hook into some of the largest and most powerful fish in the ocean, making for memorable battles and adrenaline-pumping encounters.

Additionally, Key Largo's coastal waters are home to a variety of other prized species, including redfish, snook, snapper species such as mangrove snapper and mutton snapper, grouper species such as black grouper and gag grouper, as well as king mackerel, wahoo, tuna, sailfish, and mahi-mahi, among others. Whether fishing from shore, pier, or boat, anglers can explore a range of habitats and depths in pursuit of their favorite catches.

    Some times you are fortunate to meet people that leave a deep impression an impregnation on you. Captain Mark is one of these rare persons. I was fortunate to go fishing with him today and we had a blast. He is so kind, so full of knowledge, that I do recommend going fishing with him. His repeated actions around the wounded warrior project are a tribute to his care about his peers and good people in general.

    Great work Captain Phil. Had a good time on the boat and caught fish all through the 8 hour day. Even when the bite slowed down captain phil ran all over to get back on the bite. We had our trout limit within the first hour of the fishing. He showed me allot of tips for casting under mangroves. Looking forward to another trip soon.

    Damn great time on the water with Ben. He was willing to quickly adjust to last minute changes (remember, when you are replying to messages from Captain Experiences they might not get to the guide you are using through them). Ben got us into multiple species of fish using various methods of angling. When our time was up, we had a few "keepers" that Ben filleted up for us. It was a perfect day on the water. Thanks for the great time Ben and, more importantly, thank you for your service to our country! DO NOT HESITATE to book a trip with Ben.

    We had the best experience with Andrew. He’s a born and raised in Key Largo local and he put us on a bunch of spots where fish were biting. He was so patient when we got tangled or lost our bait and was just in general super friendly and helpful. You can tell he spends his days on the water because there’s no place he’d rather be. And he also cleaned our fish with an amazing alacrity and gave us excellent recommendations on where we could have it cooked for us by highly acclaimed local chefs. It wasn’t just fishing, Andrew was the whole package.

  • ★★★★★
    We truly enjoyed our fly fishing trip with Capt GW. His boat was clean and comfortable and Capt GW was very personable and knowledgeable. We had some tougher conditions with wind that allowed him to give me so much needed help and encouragement on techniques to help my skills. But alas, no adrenaline moments of catching backwater fish, just the adrenaline of trying to make the right cast in the right spot. We saw a great deal of sea life as an addition to the friendly camaraderie, and that was a bonus.
