Islamorada Fishing, Light Tackle and Offshore Fishing
Capt. Scott Keller — Bad Habit Charters Islamorada, Florida-Atlantic Offshore:
According to the International Game Fish Association, more saltwater world records have been established in the Florida Keys than any other angling destination on the globe.
The Keys are bordered by the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Straits of Florida on the other. Outside our reef, the water plunges to depths of 1,500 feet or more. Here, colorful dolphin fish teem just below the surface along mats of floating Sargassum grass or pieces of driftwood. Billfish, the biggest prize of them all, cruise out here too.
Species caught: blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish, spearfish, kingfish, dolphin, wahoo, tuna, barracuda, cobia and more.
