Key Largo Fishing: Varied Techniques, Tough Bites, Great Day Out
Action-packed day from the get-go! I took Atelino out for an afternoon of fishing with Lock It Up Charters in Key Largo, FL. We set sail in the summer heat, leaving the dock at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park under partly cloudy skies. The water looked promising as we headed out for our 4-hour trip. It was just Atelino and me, which meant we could really focus on maximizing our time on the water.

When that didn't produce the results we were hoping for, we switched gears to some bottom fishing, dropping our lines deep to see what we could entice from the ocean floor. As the afternoon wore on, we even tried our hand at some deep sea fishing, venturing further out in search of bigger game. Despite our efforts and the variety of techniques we employed, the fish weren't cooperating as much as we'd hoped. But that's fishing for you ā some days they're biting, and some days they're not.

Using a variety of vertical fishing techniques, we had some great success landing Cero mackerel and Yellow jack throughout the day. The fish were biting well, and we were able to put a nice variety of species in the boat. Watching the customers carefully reel in their catches and seeing the excitement on their faces as they landed each fish was truly the highlight of the trip. In between the bites, we had the chance to soak in the beautiful surroundings - the crystal clear waters, the lush mangroves lining the shore, and the abundant marine life swimming all around us. It was a serene and rejuvenating experience out on the open ocean.

Inshore Fishing Bliss: A Day of Thrilling Catches on the Gulf
What a day on the water we had with Jessica! The conditions were just about perfect - a slight breeze keeping the air crisp and the water calm as glass. As we headed out, you could feel the excitement building. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a great day of inshore fishing, and I knew we were in for something special. We started the day working some of my favorite spots, focusing on light tackle techniques that I knew would give Jessica the most engaging experience. It didn't take long before the action started heating up. The first fish to hit the line was a feisty gray snapper, putting up one heck of a fight on the lightweight gear. Jessica handled it like a pro, carefully working the fish in and getting it safely on board. The big smile on her face said it all - she was having the time of her life. Things got even more exciting when Jessica hooked into a powerful crevalle jack. These fish are known for their lightning-fast runs and acrobatic jumps, and this one was no exception. The way it carved through the water had us all on the edge of our seats, cheering Jessica on as she fought to land it. When she finally got it alongside the boat, we couldn't believe the size and power of this incredible fish. Holding it up for a photo, the pure joy on Jessica's face was something I'll remember for a long time. But the real showstopper had to be the gray triggerfish. These unique, colorful fish are always a thrill to catch, and this one put on quite a display. As Jessica worked to reel it in, we could see it darting and twisting, using every trick in the book to try and get away. But Jessica kept her cool, and when she finally got it onboard, we were all in awe of its vibrant patterns and prehistoric-looking features. It was the perfect way to cap off an already incredible day. Throughout it all, the atmosphere was electric. There's nothing quite like the camaraderie of a successful fishing trip, with high-fives, laughter, and plenty of stories being swapped. Jessica was a natural out here, and you could tell she was soaking up every moment. The combination of the stunning scenery, the perfect weather, and the sheer excitement of the catches made for a day we'll all remember fondly. If you're looking to experience the thrill of inshore fishing for yourself, I'd love to have you join me out on the water. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting into the sport, I guarantee you'll have an unforgettable time. So give me a call, and let's start planning your next great fishing adventure!

Full Day Troll
Joe and Tom wanted to catch Mahi. We trolled and caught 20+ mahi. Most were small, but 4 were keepers.

Key Largo Fishing
Fishing the patch reefs in Key Largo and you never know what you will hook. The Penn rods and reels were busy fight off sharks and barracuda. This mutton snapper made it to the boat, then cooler and then fryer.
Ratings & Reviews Summary

On our trip to the Keys, we went out 3 different days with lock it up charters. Every day was an absolute blast. We were targeting sharks and man did he ever put us on the sharks. He remembered that my son did not get the Goliath grouper that he was trying for 3 years ago and on our first day out he stopped on a shipwreck and made sure that the Goliath grouper was checked off the bucket list. The night fishing trip was a little creepy and probably not for the faint of heart but it was the absolute best experience of my life. I will stay on Shore and fish before I will choose any other guide in the Florida Keys.

Captain Jason was terrific! Very personable and knowledgeable about what he does. He knew where to find the fish and the best techniques to get them on board. He was great with our boys too! Even stayed out a few minutes late to make sure one of them had a chance to get their barricuda. We had a not so great experience with a different captain earlier in the week, but Captain Jason more than made up for it.

Had an awsome time with Captain Jason today. He took my family of 4 out. Put us on some great fishing action. Great conversation and very helpful and attentive.

Captain Jason is exceptional. His knowledge of fish in the keys, where to find them and how to catch them is unequaled. Safety is his number one concern, and his boat is neat and clean. I've been fishing for 68 years and fishing with Jay was one of the best times of my life. We had an awesome day! He is also one hell of a nice guy. I highly recommend booking with Lock It Up Charters.

Jason kept us on the hook all day. He takes pride in what he does and is exceptionally skilled at it. We can't wait to go on another date with him.
