Fishing in Islamorada is a paradise for both novice and seasoned anglers as Islamorada just happens to be the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World”.  The pristine waters surrounding Islamorada coupled with the Gulf Stream bring multiple sport fish in each season to visit the coastlines.

The fishing in Islamorada is unique because of the island’s location in the Upper Florida Keys.  Active fishing destinations here include the backcountry (Florida Bay side), the front side(Atlantic Ocean), offshore and near the surrounding bridges.  The diversity of fish that can be caught is only limited by the amount of time you have to spend here.  Some of the favorites include Marlin, Tarpon, Mahi-mahi, Bonefish, Shark and Snapper and this is only a few.  Fishing in Islamorada literally has no season; of course, some months are hot or cold for specific migrating species, but you can fish in Islamorada 365 days a year.
