Fishing Key Largo

Flats, channels and bridges between the islands. Tides are small but the current through the channels is strong, which is why bridge and channel fishing is so productive here.

What's biting now (Fall): Fall is prime time: the mullet run draws snook, tarpon, redfish and bluefish along the beaches and inlets, and big schools of redfish gather on the flats.

Commonly caught in this area: Bonefish, permit, tarpon, snapper, barracuda and grouper on the reefs.

Also caught here: mangrove snapper, great barracuda, gray triggerfish, grouper, jack crevalle, ladyfish.

Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
