Website Consulting in Big Pine Key

Gateway to the Lower Keys backcountry, Big Pine Key offers extensive flats fishing and reef access just 12 miles from Marathon.

Big Pine Key and the surrounding Lower Keys provide access to thousands of acres of pristine backcountry flats. The area is renowned for its population of large tarpon, permit, and bonefish. The shallow waters of the Content Keys, Coupon Bight, and the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge offer world-class sight fishing opportunities.

On the ocean side, the reef system continues to produce excellent catches of yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, and grouper. The deeper channels hold tarpon during migration seasons, and the nearby wrecks are home to impressive populations of gamefish. The relatively undeveloped nature of the Lower Keys means less fishing pressure and more opportunities for trophy catches.
