Ready for a day on the water you won't soon forget? All Hanns on Deck has you covered with our Key Largo Full Day Fishing Charter. We're talking 8 solid hours of fishing action, kicking off at 7 AM sharp. Whether you're itching to drop lines on the reef or head offshore for the big game, we've got options that'll keep your rods bent all day long.
Picture this: You and up to three buddies, cruising the crystal-clear waters off Key Largo, with nothing but blue skies above and fish-filled waters below. We're not messing around - this is a full 8-hour private charter, which means you call the shots. Want to start shallow and work your way out? No problem. Prefer to beeline it to the deep blue? We're on it. From Snappers and Groupers inshore to Mahi Mahi and Wahoo in the deep, we'll put you on the fish that are biting.
Listen, we've got you covered on the gear front. All the fishing tackle you need? Check. Fresh bait to tempt those lunkers? You bet. Heck, we even throw in snorkeling and spearfishing gear if you want to mix things up. All you need to bring is your game face, some grub to keep you going, plenty of water (trust me, you'll need it), sunscreen (that Florida sun don't play), and a hat to keep your noggin from frying. Oh, and don't forget your camera - you're gonna want proof when you're telling fish stories later.
Here's the thing about fishing in Key Largo - it's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. One minute you're reeling in a feisty Snapper, the next you're locked in battle with a bulldogging Grouper. Head offshore, and suddenly you're in the fast lane, chasing down schools of Mahi Mahi or feeling the burn as a Wahoo screams line off your reel. It's this variety that keeps folks coming back year after year. Plus, with our local know-how, we'll put you right where the action is, maximizing your time on the water.
Atlantic Sailfish: These bad boys are the sprinters of the sea. Known for their incredible jumps and blazing speed, Sailfish can hit 68 mph when they're fired up. They're a year-round resident, but your best shot at hooking up is from November to May. When one of these beauties goes airborne, plastering itself against the blue sky, you'll understand why anglers travel from all over to tangle with them.
King Mackerel: We call 'em "Smokers" around here, and for good reason. Hook into a big King, and watch your reel smoke as it dumps line. These toothy critters can top 50 pounds and put on one heck of a show. They're most active in the cooler months, from October to March. Trolling with live bait is the ticket here, and when they skyrocket on a bait, it's a sight you won't forget.
Mahi Mahi: Also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish (no relation to Flipper), these neon-colored acrobats are a summertime favorite. They travel in schools, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. The real thrill is watching them light up in electric blues and greens as they fight. Plus, they're delicious on the grill - can't beat that combo of sport and table fare.
Greater Amberjack: We lovingly call these bruisers "reef donkeys" because they pull like a mule. Found around wrecks and deep reefs, Amberjack will test your arms and your back. They're here year-round but really fire up in the spring. When you're cranking one up from the depths, and your arms are burning, you'll know why we respect these powerful fish.
Great Barracuda: With a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and a bad attitude to match, 'Cudas are the punks of the reef. They're lightning-fast and not afraid to show off with spectacular aerial displays. While they're around all year, the biggest ones show up in the winter months. Watching a 'Cuda streak across the surface to nail a topwater lure is pure adrenaline.
Look, whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to wet a line for the first time, our Key Largo Full Day Fishing Charter is the ticket to an awesome day on the water. With 8 full hours to play with, we'll make sure you get the most bang for your buck. Remember, we're limited to 4 guests, so this is perfect for a family outing or a day with your fishing buddies. Don't sit on the fence too long - prime dates book up fast. Give us a shout, and let's get you out there where the big ones are biting. Trust me, a day fishing in Key Largo beats the heck out of another day at the office!
Atlantic Sailfish are prized gamefish, known for their incredible speed and acrobatic fights. These beauties can reach up to 10 feet long but typically average around 7.5 feet and 50 pounds. You'll find them in warm, tropical waters, often near the surface down to about 65 feet deep. They're migratory, following warmer areas, with peak season in the Florida Keys during winter. Sailfish Alley, between North Miami Beach and Fort Pierce, is a hot spot year-round. Anglers love targeting sailfish for their spectacular leaps and endurance. When hooking one, let it run before trying to reel it in. Use heavy tackle - a 12-15 weight rod with 50-pound reels should do the trick. Bright pink and white tube flies or poppers are go-to lures. Remember, these fish can really test your stamina, so pace yourself for an epic battle.

Great Barracuda are the toothy terrors of the Keys, known for their lightning-fast strikes and menacing appearance. These predators can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh over 100 pounds, though most are in the 2-4 foot range. You'll find them lurking around reefs, seagrass beds, and mangroves, often near the surface. They're here year-round, but summer brings bigger numbers inshore. Anglers target 'cudas for their explosive hits and aerial displays. They're not great eating due to ciguatera risk, so it's mostly catch and release. When fishing for barracuda, use steel leaders - those teeth will slice through mono in a heartbeat. Try trolling with tube lures or casting topwater plugs for exciting visual strikes. Pro tip: if you see one following your bait, speed up your retrieve. The faster the lure moves, the more likely they are to attack.

Greater Amberjack are the heavyweights of the reef, known for their bruising fights and stubborn attitude. These powerhouses can reach 6 feet and weigh up to 100 pounds, though 30-40 pounders are more common. You'll find them around offshore reefs and wrecks, typically in depths of 60 to 240 feet. Spring and fall are prime seasons, as they move to shallower waters to spawn. Anglers target AJs for their incredible strength and stamina - be ready for a workout! They're not the best eating due to parasites, so most folks practice catch and release. When fishing for Amberjack, use heavy tackle and plenty of drag. Live bait like blue runners or sardines works well, but large jigs can also entice a bite. Here's a local trick: when you hook one, get it off the bottom fast or it'll dive for cover and break you off.

King Mackerel, or Kingfish, are speedy predators that'll give you a run for your money. These sleek fish average around 30 pounds but can hit 90+ in rare cases. You'll find them in waters 40 to 150 feet deep, with the big ones often hanging out in harbors and inlets. They love warm water between 68-84°F, so summer's prime time for Kingfish action. Anglers chase them for their blistering runs and tasty meat, though be aware of mercury levels if you're planning to eat them. When targeting Kings, try trolling with live bait like blue runners or menhaden. Here's a local tip: use a stinger rig with two hooks on your leader. Hook the live bait through the nose and let the second hook dangle - Kings often strike the back half of the bait, so this setup increases your hookup ratio. Hold on tight when they hit!

Mahi Mahi are the acrobats of the open ocean, known for their stunning colors and high-flying antics. These fish grow fast, averaging 15-29 pounds and about 3 feet long. You'll find them in warm, offshore waters, often near floating debris or weed lines. Summer's the peak season, but we can catch them year-round in the Keys. Anglers love Mahi for their spectacular fights, beautiful appearance, and excellent table fare. They're strong swimmers but tire quickly, making for an exciting but manageable fight. When targeting Mahi, look for frigate birds circling - that's often a dead giveaway. Trolling with ballyhoo or squid works well, but here's a pro tip: if you hook one, keep it in the water. Mahi often travel in schools, so you might be able to catch several from the same spot if you play it smart.
