The fishing in Cayo Largo is amongst the best in the Caribbean. There are excellent saltwater flats for bonefishing, and catching permit, jack cravelle and many other shallow water predators. There are deeper channels for catching Tarpon, growing up to well over 100 lbs. Between the beach and the coral reefs south of the island are plenty of barracuda, snapper, grouper and other reef dwelling fish. After the coral reef there is a deep drop off and all the deep sea predators can be caught including kingfish, Spanish mackerel, wahoo, dorado (mahi mahi), sailfish, marlin, tuna, jack, and many more 10.00am Depart for the first days fishing, (tips and drinks on the fishing boat paid locally).
