About This Spot
North Patch Existing Management Area Mooring Buoy is a popular fishing spot located offshore from Key Largo, Florida. Situated in 15 to 25 feet of clear, shallow water, this area offers anglers a mix of reef fishing opportunities near protected coral formations. The mooring buoy allows boats to tie up safely without anchoring, helping preserve the delicate ecosystem below. Snapper, grunts, jacks, and barracuda are commonly found patrolling the coral heads and sandy patches. Fishing is permitted with rod and reel, but spearfishing may be restricted due to Existing Management Area regulations. A must-visit spot for light tackle and live bait fishing.
