Sport fishing is a way to celebrate the unique beauty and life of Islamorada's waters. Fishing isn't just a way of life, part of our heritage, or simply fun. It is all of these things and more-it is a statement of our appreciation for this paradise in which we live and welcome visitors, it is a symbol of our stewardship over these waters. Whether you want to go deep sea fishing or back country fishing-we have the information and resources you need. Below you will find lists for deep sea and back country guides. Also, there is a simplified fishing calendar to let you know by month what species are at their peak.
