Many fishermen refer to Islamorada in the Florida Keys as the "Sport Fishing Capital of The World". The gulf streams gorgeous tropical waters are flowing only a few short miles from the sun kissed sandy shores and provide rich fishing opportunities for the lucky fishermen that have the privilege to cast lines here as it is more than likely that they will end up with a prized fish.

Best caught in the months of March and April are the notorious blue marlin. January through March, you will most likely catch the wonderful cobia and April through July; keep an eye out for the delectable mahi-mahi. Beginning in November and lasting through March you can fish for all kinds of grouper and September through March you have a chance at the sturdy kingfish. In February you will catch the lovely sailfish that are so abundant in the Atlantic around then and the flavorful yet elusive snapper fish are around all year long. Snapper are great for children to fish as they have been known to be caught right from the dock just like yellowtail. However, you will most likely find yellowtail beginning in April and lasting through June. May through July, the famous "silver king" tarpon reign during these months but if you prefer amazing tuna, be sure to schedule a trip somewhere between December and February.
