We were on a pretty constant Bonefish bite till this past cold front, but the patch reefs are holding Mangrove, Yellowtail, YellowJacks, and Grouper. The next 5 to 6 days we'll be dry docked till the wind lays

As the year winds down I want to share my gratitude to all my clients for helping make 23 yet another successful year in fishing and adventure. Thanks to Captains Experience for contribution as well, we're building a fine relationship and I hope it builds. The fishing this year has been on par with most trips and exceptional in many cases. We're seeing a transition in seasonal species and we will find great catches in a lil cooler weather. Looking forward to 24 being an awesome year with many exciting fishing adventures.

The bite has been hot! Even with this cold front, we've had a great snook & tarpon bite. There has been plenty of Pilchards around which has made live bait fishing our first choice. We have seen some juvenile Cubera Snapper as well. The inshore bite has been great recently

    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!!!!!

    Trip: Islamorada Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    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!

    Trip: Offshore Islamorada Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Our trip with Aaron was enjoyable even with the choppy waters. Aaron’s boat was extremely clean and we felt safe aboard. He had radar/fish finder there to help pick a spot and dropped in some bait to entice the fish. He helped bait hooks for us which was very appreciated even by our more experienced angler. We caught mostly yellowtail and they were fun to reel in. Lines were snapped by some bigger fish so we’ll always tell the stories of the ones that got away! Thanks for helping make the trip happen.

    Trip: Reef Fishing

    Great day on the water with Captain Eric. Started off slow but caught some great fish including the Goliath Grouper and Tarpon below. Eric is very knowledgeable and a great teacher! I have fresh water fished my whole life, this was my first inshore experience and I learned techniques from Eric that I didn’t know. My wife and I truly enjoyed our time of the water with Captain Eric! The sea trout that Eric filleted was prepared at of local restaurant and was delicious! I highly recommend Captain Eric for a guided inshore fishing trip! Hope to be back again! Frank Gallione Lieutenant (Retired) Lombard Illinois Fire Dept.
