Deep Sea Three-Quarter Day

Two more hours buys the range for the far humps, the sweet spot for most groups. With about six hours on the water, your captain runs past the reef edge to the famous Islamorada humps, works the birds and weed lines for mahi, tuna and wahoo, and stays in the zone through the tide changes instead of watching the clock. You fish from a 55-foot sportfishing yacht with a shaded deck, air-conditioned cabin and a real bathroom, and a mate works the deck the whole trip. The rate covers the boat and crew, all fishing gear, live bait, fishing licenses for everyone, ice and bottled water, and your catch cleaned and bagged at the dock.
