Fall fishing is in full swing here in islamorada. Offshore fishing has been great on the calmer days with plenty of mahi and some great tuna fishing as well . Not to mention a great bottom bite for vermillion snappers and more .
The reefs have been producing some good snapper bites and startling to see some mackerel showing up in good numbers to .
We have also had some great lobster days. The water is still warm and clear making it a blast to get out and stack some bugs before the cold fronts start .

Fall is picking up right where our summer left off. Hot fishing and some cooler weather makes it that much more enjoyable for everyone! Plenty of bait starting to show up and the fish are happy!

Fishings been good when the weather is not in the way with all the rain we've had. But been in the backcountry the last few weeks lots of red fish Snook tarpon have been around. On the offshore side the blackfin tunas have been biting really well and there's still some mahi around.

Kevin is a great guide. Very knowledgeable of the area waters and a genuine pleasure to talk to. He put us on the fish in no time and we caught our limit of snapper along with a bonus snook and jackfish. I highly recommend him for your choice.

Captain Troy was fantastic!!!! He got us on tons of fish. First time deep sea fishing and what an experience!!!! All four of us hooked onto mahi mahi at the same time and were so excited!! Dereck, the first mate absolutely worked his tail off keeping bait on all lines and helping us haul in allllll the fish!!!! We caught black fun tuna, mahi, and even a wahoo! Banner day, couldn't have asked for a better fishimg charter. If you dont wanna be disappointed book Capt Troy and the Miller Time boat!!

What an awesome experience. Kevin is fantastic! He knew the water and the fish and we had an amazing experience. Caught snapper, ladyfish, jack, snook, and even pivoted quickly to a lemon shark when we knew one was near by. It was a memorable adventure and I would highly recommend Kevin! Kevin also knew the area well and we went to the Lazy Lobster to have our catch cooked. So much fun! Thank you Kevin!

I can’t say enough positives about Captain Ken! His preparation for the trip payed off big time! Including my first tarpon and snook! We caught multiple of each. He is super personable but also works relentlessly to find the fish for you. If you are serious about fishing, Ken is the guide for you! Highly recommend!!!!!

GW is the man! My wife and I booked a fly fishing / spin fishing trip. He had us on fish all day long, and went out of his way to make sure we had the absolute best time we could! He asked us ahead of time what we wanted to target, how we wanted to fish, etc and incorporated all of it into the trip. His knowledge of the area and the fish are impressive as well. We'll 100% book with him again when we visit next time!
