Cooler weather and water temps have the shallow reefs exploding with several different Quality species. From mutton snappers, big mangroves, cero mackerel and more! Lots of actions and an amazing mix of table fair.

Reported: 3 months ago

Fishing has been very very good since the last cold snap ... I think the cold front moving in on Thursday may slow things down a little till water temperature recovers

Reported: 3 months ago

Fishing has been pretty strong on the shallow reefs with a wide variety of snapper and grouper lately. Some wahoo and sailfish have been showing up with the cooler weather. Fishing should continue to get better during the temperature drops. Plenty of opportunities to have a fun day on the...

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
