Local Tips & Conditions

Key Largo's summer fishing offers consistent action with stable weather patterns and active fish. The waters around John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park provide excellent structure that attracts various species throughout the year. The partly cloudy conditions common in July help moderate temperatures and often create ideal fishing scenarios as fish become more active.

For the best results, plan to start early as Captain Jason recommends morning departures when waters are typically calmer and fish are feeding. The reef structures and underwater formations throughout this area create natural habitats that concentrate fish, making them more accessible to anglers. Water clarity is generally excellent in summer months, allowing for effective sight fishing in certain areas. Don't forget sun protection, as even partly cloudy days on the water can result in significant sun exposure.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Lock It Up Charters provides a well-maintained, fully-equipped fishing boat that comfortably accommodates small groups, ensuring personal attention from Captain Jason throughout your trip. All fishing gear is provided, including quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait appropriate for the species and conditions we'll encounter. We recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), comfortable clothing, non-marking shoes, and a camera to document your catch.

Our charters typically begin early morning with a quick safety briefing before heading out to the fishing grounds. We provide coolers with ice for any drinks or snacks you bring along, and for storing your catch if you plan to keep fish. Bathroom facilities are available at our launch point. For maximum comfort, we recommend bringing water, snacks, and wearing layered clothing that can adjust to changing weather conditions throughout the day.
