Cudjoe Key Fishing Overview

Cudjoe Key, a hidden gem in the Florida Keys, offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities that are often overlooked by tourists. With Cudjoe Key fishing charters, anglers can experience the full spectrum of Florida Keys fishing, without the crowds and bustle of more popular destinations.

The wrecks around Cudjoe Key are home to Grouper, Cobia, Kingfish, and Barracuda, while the reefs hold Yellowtail, Mutton, and Mangrove Snapper. The flats offer a unique challenge for those seeking to quietly stalk elusive Bonefish and Permit, as well as the chance to battle the Silver King. Offshore fishing for Tuna and Billfish is also exceptional in these waters.

Even a short afternoon on the water can be productive at Cudjoe Key, with half-day reef excursions yielding plenty of excellent tasting fish, especially during the summer months. However, those targeting flats species should allow for extra time, as patience is required. Full-day offshore expeditions typically produce the best results.

Cudjoe Key is split into northern and southern portions by US Highway 1, with the majority of development located in the south around Cudjoe Bay. This makes it easy for visiting anglers to find charters and quickly locate their captain for the day, with easy access to any fishing spot desired.

For anglers fishing aboard a charter boat, licenses are covered by the captain. However, those exploring the local flats and inshore waters alone must obtain a Florida fishing license ahead of time to comply with regulations.

Cudjoe Key Inshore Fishing

With two oceans touching Cudjoe there is no shortage of fish to catch. The keys are known for variety, and that holds true for the inshore fishing here. In the channels and backcountry waters for snook and reds, on the gulf side as well as bonefish on the Atlantic side. Starting in the early spring, bonefish make their way into the flats and bays around Cudjoe Key and stay all summer long. Permit will show up on either side like trout, which will hold up in the grass flats.

A little later in the spring, tarpon swarm the bays and channels around the Island. Tarpon hang out in shallow waters from the backcountry to the bridges where you also have a shot at sharks and grouper. With enough variety for several trips, the inshore fishing in Cudjoe Key is world-class.

Cudjoe Key Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Head past the reefs on the Atlantic side and you will be in marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, and blackfin tuna feeding grounds. Mahi-mahi are also commonly caught here and can even be caught closer in. Offshore on the gulf side means catching cobia while trolling or dropping bait for snapper and grouper species. The difference in fish species between the two sides of Cudjoe Key can be confusing but regardless of what side you choose for your trip, this is a magical place to wet lines.

Popular Types of Fishing In Cudjoe Key

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    Excellent day, excellent fishing and Brandon couldn’t have been a better guide!

    Vic T. with Brandon S. of Ramrod Key, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Had a most excellent time. We were scheduled for an offshore trip but wind and waves caused us to cancel this trip. However, we rescheduled for later in the day for a tarpon fishing excursion. This was a blast ! We saw sharks up close and landed several yellow jacks which gave us a good fight before being returned to the water. After trying and trying (never give up) we snagged a good sized tarpon. After a good fight which included multiple boat maneuvers it was brought to the side of the boat before being cut loose to fight another day. We thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with the captain and first mate. Both were very attentive to us, making sure that our hooks were still baited and that we had all the help required for landing and documenting our catches before returning them to the water. A great time was had by all! The boat was immaculate and we had no issues if any sort.

    Lynn E. with Steve S. of Marathon, Florida

    Mike and Cole were fantastic. We had four small kids with us, and they handled them perfectly. We caught lots of yellowtail snapper and a nurse shark! 10/10, would book again (and plan to).

    We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a fishing charter with Captain Brad and his shipmate Miles, and I must say, it was an experience to remember! From start to finish, the trip was filled with excitement, laughter, and, of course, some great catches. First and foremost, Captain Brad's professionalism and expertise were evident from the moment we set foot on his well-equipped boat. The vessel itself was top-notch, complete with all the necessary fishing gear and even a bathroom—a luxury rarely found on fishing charters. This attention to detail immediately put us at ease and set the stage for an enjoyable day out on the water. Now, let's talk about Miles—what a gem! Not only was he incredibly friendly and personable, but his sense of humor added an extra layer of fun to the trip. Whether he was cracking jokes or teaching me the rules of fishing, Miles's presence truly enhanced the overall experience. It's clear that he's not just a shipmate but also a valuable member of Captain Brad's team. As for the fishing itself, we couldn't have asked for a better outing. Captain Brad navigated us to all the right spots, where we were able to reel in some impressive catches. His knowledge of the local waters and fishing techniques was evident, and it made for a successful day of angling. In summary, my fishing charter experience with Captain Brad and Miles was nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a novice looking to try your hand at fishing, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Brad. You won't be disappointed! Happy fishing! Todd & Paige
