Weather has been some windy days and other days completely calm and off the chain for the Wahoo bite. Offshore has been action packed. We are catching Wahoo in 100-230 feet, they love to bite when there is a overcast and minimal seas. We expect them to stick around and keep slaying them; just like last year. As they make the perfect eating as raw, sushi, cooked, or, smoked as fish dip! Last week on a full- day offshore with Team Redbull; Ace of Spades released 4 Sailfish (Captain Maurices favorite). This makes a adventure filled and action packed day of fighting bill fish; pulling up to the dock with 4 sail release flags out! It sure keeps the Captain on his toes! The reef is full of good eating- mutton snappers are biting hot, and, of course the flag yellowtails are cooperating. Reef trips are a rewarding and perfect outing for families and groups who want to stay with their rods bent and consistent action. And ideal for cook your catch at the wonderful local restaurants. As always its a blessing to fish daily in the Florida Keys and put families and friends from all over onto the best bite!

Great day with Ken! Had a blast kept us in the fish all day long. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be booking him again on our next trip.

Trip: Islamorada Fishing
★★★★★
We went out on a day when weather conditions were less than ideal and honestly I wasn’t sure we’d see much action at all. Despite the conditions, Captain Bill’s fishing and boat knowledge kept us in the game. The highlight of the trip was catching a 140lb lb Tarpon, the fight of a lifetime. If you are looking for a local guide who knows his craft, works hard, and has an easy to talk to personality, I would highly recommend Captain Bill.

Book with Captain J!! We had such an amazing time. Me and my aunt got lucky and had the boat to ourselves, he brought us out to great spots. I am beyond overjoyed with the outcome of the charter. We got 14 good eating fish, yellow tail and snapper. And I caught a giant 10ft nurse shark! Definitely the best fight of my life, my body was a wreck the next day lol. We had such an amazing time because of captain j, he baited our hooks for us and took off all the fish. He was ready for everything, and cleaned and prepared all our catches
