About This Spot
Located in the Northeast Environmental Management Area (NE EMA) of Key Largo, this region offers excellent fishing opportunities along mangrove shorelines, grass flats, and natural channels. Depths in the area typically range from 2 to 6 feet, making it ideal for sight fishing and targeting shallow-water species.
Anglers can expect consistent action for snook, redfish, sea trout, mangrove snapper, and juvenile tarpon, especially around tidal movements and structure-rich zones. With calm waters and healthy ecosystems, the NE EMA remains one of Key Largo’s most productive and accessible areas for inshore fishing.
