Fishing Info
Captain Meyer's service area is all of the Middle and Lower Keys. This includes Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine, Key West, and all spots in between. He knows several hundred spots to fish allowing the adventure to be taylored according to the species desired and the weather conditions.
There are numerous types of fishing in the Florida Keys, which ensures year round sport fishing. These include all types of both inshore and offshore fishing. Flats fishing in the mangroves of the back country is a favorite for catching Bone Fish, Permit and Tarpon. Fishing the cuts below the bridges is a great way to be exposed to an abundance of fish as tide comes and goes.
Offshore fishing on both the Gulf and the Atlantic sides will expose you to the larger meatier fish. With numerous spots, wrecks and the reef, you will be sure to have a great experience.
If you want to fish both the flats and offshore, it can be arranged. We can alternate every other day or make other arrangements, so you can do both. This will be priced according to the arrangements made.
Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit can be caught year round with other resident species. This chart is my preferred months in order for each fish.
