The fish Islamorada anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Islamorada calls itself the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World," and the claim is well earned — it sits between the shallow flats of Florida Bay and the deep water of the Atlantic, so backcountry guides pole for bonefish, tarpon and permit while the offshore fleet runs to the reef and the humps for sailfish, dolphin and tuna. The spring tarpon migration through the channels and around the bridges is legendary. The variety packed into a short run is what makes this stretch of the Keys special.
