One of Captain Jason’s greatest strengths is his ability to work with anglers of all levels.

Frequently Asked Questions – Key Largo Fishing Charters 1. How much does deep sea fishing cost in Key Largo?Our Key Largo fishing charters vary depending on the length of the trip and the specific type of fishing. Rates typically range from $500 for a shorter 3-hour session up to $1,200 for a comprehensive 8-hour full-day trip on the water. 2. Are family fishing charters available in Key Largo?Yes. Lock It Up Charters is highly family-friendly, and we welcome anglers of all ages and skill levels. Captain Jason specializes in creating a safe, engaging, and highly productive environment aboard his 18’ McKee Craft, making it a great setup for introducing children to saltwater fishing. 3. What is the best fishing trip for beginners?For beginners, we typically recommend a 3-hour or 4-hour reef fishing trip. These charters keep you closer to shore in calmer waters while offering consistent bites from species like snapper, grouper, and barracuda, ensuring a steady pace of activity to keep everyone entertained. 4. What should I bring on a fishing charter?All of your fishing gear, bait, tackle, and state fishing licenses are fully provided. You only need to bring sun protection (a hat, polarized sunglasses, and sunscreen), non-marking shoes, and your preferred snacks and beverages. An onboard icebox is available to keep your drinks cold. 5. What is wreck fishing in the Florida Keys?Wreck fishing involves dropping lines down to sunken ships, planes, and artificial reefs where large predatory fish congregate. It is a highly effective way to target strong, structure-oriented species like grouper, mutton snapper, and sharks that use the debris for shelter and feeding. 6. What is the difference between reef fishing and offshore fishing?Reef fishing takes place closer to shore in shallower waters, focusing on dropping bait to bottom-dwelling species like snapper and grouper along the coral structures. Offshore fishing takes you further out into the deeper waters of the Gulf Stream to troll for fast-moving pelagic species like mahi-mahi and tuna. 7. How long are the fishing trips?Lock It Up Charters offers flexible scheduling to fit your itinerary. We offer 3-hour short trips, 4-hour half-day trips, 6-hour trips, and comprehensive 8-hour full-day trips depending on what you want to target. 8. What is included in the charter rate?Your booking includes Captain Jason's expert guidance, the boat, all top-quality fishing gear and tackle, live bait, your Florida state fishing license, and a complimentary catch cleaning and filleting service for any legal fish you decide to take home.
