Sam Carson, Captain at Skiff Tales

Experience the best of Key Largo fishing charters with a local captain who has spent over 25 years on these waters. Born and raised in the Florida Keys, your guide knows exactly where to go whether you want steady action or a shot at a true trophy fish. From the shallow flats of Key Largo to the productive waters of Biscayne Bay and nearby Islamorada, every trip is tailored to your goals, skill level, and the season.


You’ll be fishing aboard a 16’ Dolphin Super Skiff, a technical poling skiff built for navigating skinny water and accessing areas that larger boats simply cannot reach. This makes it ideal for Key Largo backcountry fishing and flats fishing, where sight casting is the primary technique. Watching fish move through clear water and making a precise cast is what this style of fishing is all about.


Target species include Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Mangrove Snapper, and Speckled Trout. Whether you’re interested in tarpon fishing in Key Largo during peak season or targeting bonefish on the flats, your captain will adjust locations and techniques to give you the best opportunity possible. These are private fishing charters in Key Largo, so your trip is never rushed or shared with other groups.


All rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with your fishing license, so you can focus on fishing from the moment you step on board. Live bait is used at certain times of the year depending on the species being targeted, along with artificial lures when conditions call for it.


These trips are great for anglers of all experience levels, including families looking for a relaxed day on the water. If you’re searching for family-friendly fishing charters in Key Largo or a dedicated Biscayne Bay fishing guide, this is a great choice.


Bring sunscreen, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and drinks, and get ready for a productive day exploring the Florida Keys backcountry.
