Florida Keys Fishing — What Makes Islamorada Special
The Florida Keys fishing charters industry is built on Islamorada's unique geography. The island sits between the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay, with the Gulf Stream running closer to shore here than almost anywhere else. That means shorter runs to blue water, more time fishing, and access to an incredible diversity of species — from backcountry Tarpon and Bonefish to offshore Marlin and Swordfish.
Islamorada has been called the Sportfishing Capital of the World since the 1950s, and the title still holds. More world records have been set in these waters than any other destination. When you book an Islamorada fishing charter with Just Cuz, you're fishing the same grounds that built that reputation.
