The fish Key West anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Key West is the gateway to one of the most diverse fisheries on earth: the flats of the backcountry and the Marquesas hold the "grand slam" of tarpon, permit and bonefish, the patch reefs and humps load up with yellowtail and mutton snapper and grouper, and the deep water off the edge brings dolphin, sailfish and tuna. Spring tarpon season around the harbor and the bridges is a spectacle. Few places let you sight-fish a flat in the morning and troll blue water the same afternoon.
