Floridas, Long Key and Key West are known to many as the Sport Fishing Capital of The World. With the warm waters of the gulf stream just a few miles offshore, Florida keys boat rentals, Scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing on the coral reefs from 5-90 feet deep all along the Florida Keys island chain, and the skinny waters of the Florida Bay backcountry a short boat ride away, it's easy to see where Key West got it's name. Anglers the world over travel to sample the fabulous variety of fishing in the Florida Keys. This is one of the only areas which can offer such a huge diversity of sport for the travelling angler.

• Bluewater fishing out into the Gulf stream offers the chance of Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Dorado, wahoo and many more. This is adrenalin fuelled sport fishing at its best.
• Reef and Wreck fishing will yield hard fighting Snapper, Huge marbled groupers, Sharks, Jack Crevalle, Barracuda, Amberjacks and a selection of other hard fighting exotics.
• Inshore Light tackle Shallow water bait and lure fishing for Sharks, Tarpon, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle and Cobia.
• Backcountry flats fishing, this is the preserve of the fly and lure fisherman, poling quietly through Seagrass and Mangrove areas sight fishing for Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit has to be one of the suspense filled fishing methods available. All anglers should experience wading, hopefully unseen to cast a fly to a Permit dogging a feeding stingray.

Also avaialable is flats fly and lure fishing days for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit and Barracuda. Our flats boat launches from the same Marina as the 'Juggler' and offers access to some of the most productive flats and mangrove areas anywhere in the world. Florida bonefish are renown for their large avergae sizes, and just hooking one of these rockets can make you holiday, let alone actually landing it. So come on, give it a try.
