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.

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!
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.

What an awesome six-hour charter with Captain Andrew (“Drew”)!
He actually took the bay boat out a little early to catch bait before we even got started, and that pretty much set the tone for the whole day—he came prepared and ready to put us on fish. Even with that, we still beat other charters to the honey holes! Gave us a demonstration on throwing the casting bait net in the bay and that in itself was priceless!!
We caught mahi and tuna, learned a bunch of little tricks along the way, shared some great stories, and really enjoyed the entire experience. Drew is a Key Largo lifer with generations of family roots in the Keys, and it shows. He knows these waters, the fishing, the weather, where to run, what to look for, and where the fish are.
We even navigated through a beast of a storm and got a little wet, but honestly, that just became part of the adventure! Drew handled it calmly and confidently, and it made for one of those stories you’ll laugh about afterward.
He is sweet, humble, kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. With just three of us, the charter felt personal and relaxed—not like you were just another group being shuffled through.
If you’re looking for a smaller charter with a captain who works hard, knows the ocean, shares what he knows, and genuinely wants you to have a great day, Drew is your guy.
Great fishing, great conversation, a little adventure, and some awesome memories. We would absolutely go out with him again! 🎣🌊
Eric was fantastic, patient, a great teacher, and a super cool guy to talk to. As beginners he helped us learn to cast and is super knowledgeable about fishing, guiding, and knows the Keys like the back of his hand.
