We are also catching the juvenile Tarpon around the same areas. The Snook are biting pretty good you just have to get them to the boat before the sharks can get them. Overall, the keys are pretty quiet as far as tourist go, so we have lots of fishing grounds that are virtually private to us this time of year.

Calm seas have left us with great opportunities on the reef , wrecks and off shore . The yellowtail Vite had been pretty good with several flags caught along with some other species like trigger fish , cero mackerel and our favorite yellow Jack .
Off shore mahi has been hit or miss but when we hit we managed multiple keeper fish and occasional heavy lifter and gaffers . Tunas have been active at the humps in addition to some great amber Jack bites . Overall it has been a great summer so far and it's only getting better .

    My dad and I were able to squeeze in on a charter with Captain Eric fairly last minute which was awesome! He got us both on some sea trout first thing in the morning, lined us up on some tarpon but before I was able to take any shots on the fly rod, we spooked a tarpon and in came the bull sharks. We buzzed over to a different flat where I had shots at both snook and redfish. I didn’t end up making any of my shots with the fly rod but this was also my first saltwater fly fishing experience as well as my first guided trip so it was all pretty new to me. I’m just stoked we were able to get out in the first place. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Captain Eric and I certainly wouldn’t turn down another opportunity to have him guide us! He’s quiet but very focused and knowledgeable about the marine life and was able to give me casting tips as well with the fly rods. Thank you again for squeezing us in Eric!

    Trip: Back Country Bonanza

  • ★★★★★
    I booked a fly fishing trip, for bones, with Capt. Ted. Capt. Ted doesn’t guide fly fishing, so he changed the trip to fishing with his son, Donnie. I believe this was a fail, on the part of captain experiences, since I asked for a fly guide and wasn’t booked with a fly guide. The trip was a disappointment. We seen no bone fish or any game fish except one baby tarpon. I received the “tourist” trip. I will not use your service again. Steven Fey .

    We had an excellent experience fishing with Captain Chad and his mate Ryan. From the moment we got on the boat, they were professional, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome. They worked hard to keep us on the fish, gave great advice, and made the entire trip fun and enjoyable. Captain Chad was knowledgeable and made sure we had a smooth, safe trip, while Ryan was extremely helpful and kept everything running perfectly. Their teamwork and customer service really stood out. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter experience, I highly recommend them. We’ll definitely be booking another trip soon!
