SPECIAL NOTE: Depicted by these charts are the "NORMAL" peak activity times for fish in the Key Largo area. Weather / Sea conditions / current water quality / water levels / salinity / Moon Phases / Wind direction & Velocity /Hurricanes/ etc., all have a definite effect on the seasonal activity and behavior of game fish. I have adjusted this chart from time to time in the 20 years I have been fishing in Key Largo to maintain the best possible accuracy. With all the fishing options available in the Florida Keys it’s always a good Idea to Call your Captain to see what the current conditions are and ask when and where the current best action is. |
