Sport Fishing in Key Largo
Sport fishing is what we do best — billfish on kites, mahi-mahi on weed lines, blackfin tuna on jigs. Light tackle when conditions allow, heavy gear when the fish demands it.
Sport fishing in Key Largo refers to the offshore pursuit of pelagic game fish — sailfish, blue marlin, mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, wahoo, kingfish — using techniques built around the fight: trolling, kite fishing, live-baiting, and light-tackle presentations. The 34' Miss Chief is rigged for all of it across our Deep Sea Big Game, Deep Reef & Wreck, and Gladiator of the Deep swordfish charters.
Sport fishing charters
Deep Reef & Wreck
Fish Key Largo's deep reefs and wrecks 6–10 miles out, 50–300 feet down, for grouper, amberjack, cobia, and kingfish. Heavier tackle, bigger fish.
Deep Sea Big Game
Run the Gulf Stream off Key Largo trolling and live-baiting for sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and tuna. Big game, bigger seas — the ultimate guys' trip.
Gladiator of the Deep
Daytime swordfishing off Key Largo — the gladiator of the deep. A full-day battle in deep Gulf Stream water for the hardest-fighting fish in the ocean.
The sport fishing playbook
Sport fishing is technique-driven. The same waters off Key Largo produce a wildly different day depending on how you fish them. Our captain adjusts the plan in real time based on what's biting.
Kite fishing for sailfish
Kites suspend live bait at the surface, presenting it without a leader visible to the fish. It's the most productive sailfish presentation in the world. Best November through April.
Trolling the deep
Naked ballyhoo, skirted lures, and planers run at 6–8 knots cover ground and produce mahi, wahoo, marlin, and kingfish.
Live-bait drifting the humps
Drifting live pilchards over the offshore seamounts puts you on blackfin tuna and the occasional sail.
Light-tackle wrecks
Vertical jigs on the wrecks for amberjack, almaco jack, kingfish, and bottom species — fast action, hard pulls.
