I think a two hours trip is too short. Better go for the half day one. And be fast when you got something on the hook. Water and sun screen are vital.

Get your sea legs going, ten miles out you could experience some serious swells. If you have ever gotten sea sick consider staying in the bay or near shore.

Seas are a little rough and its hot, a perfect combination for ?. Come prepared, fishingBooker has some good videos we recommend you watch to help prepare you.

Four hours was about perfect for our children who are ages 10 and 11. I would bring snacks though, so at the end of the charter, they could munch on them.

Bring your sunscreen and definitely check out Home Grown fishing charters and Andrew Atwill and you'll have a great time

Be prepared for a great time! Lather up with sunblock, wear polarized sunglasses, wear a hat, bring a towel, enough water to hydrate and prepare for a great time.

Be flexible. Wind came out of nowhere and we had to change our plans. In doing so we still had an incredible time

Know the season and time for teh type of fish you want to catch...... when either the Mahi or Wahoo are in........
Late April, the Wahoo run out, and Mahi start to come in.....

We were lucky to snag a Wahoo today as it is the end of their season. January is the beginning. So if Wahoo is what you're after, know that is your window.

GREAT fishing! We were there the latter part of the month and had never fished Key Largo before. But we will be back as often as possible!

We have had good luck fishing at the end of March.for 2 years now. Maybe we were just lucky, maybe not.

Talk to your charter and make clear what your expectations are. If they are as good as Underwater Cowboy, they will be upfront and professional.

Bring sun screen, water, snacks & a good attitude! That's it! You'll have the best day of your vacation on the water!!

Take Dramamine the night before going out, tip that was given to us and we made it through the day well.

Patience - the fish are out there and they are biting. Full moon allows the predators to hunt all night so expect slower days when the moon is full, or near full.

Lots of fishing activity but I guess the time I was there wasn't a good time, perhaps the weather or the direction of the wind?

July not the prime time for fishing the flats. Water temp up. We did catch Mahi in deeper water-500'.

A bit of a long boat ride over to the Glades, but great open water runs and super fishing in the flats makes it worth the trip.

Fishing Booker is actually wrong, I believe, in this boat's location. This particular boat is out of Islamarada. Not sure it matters unless you actually wanted to fish Key Largo.

Make sure to reserve time for more than one day fishing. Don't go out if any whitecaps are visible, and make sure you can cancel without getting stuck with full cost.
Kirk Stewart
Miami, FL
Don't. Go elsewhere. I've been to lots better. I've tried it 4 times now. I'm not going to bother with the keys again. Canceling plans for next year.
Greg Dzingle
Very easy and accessible fishing and diving at all price ranges and skill levels.
Josh Beasley
Be sure to check the weather and king tide as it affected us negatively, unfortunately.

Water was hot so we had to go pretty far out. Think it was an unusual thing though.
