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

We continue to have great winter weather down here in South Florida. If the sun is out, so are the fish. Plenty of reds, snook, and seatrout for the boys from Bermuda.

The boys from Connecticut also had a day! Again, the weather has been phenomenal here in Miami and they took advantage. Father and son duo were rewarded with their first bonefish and permit, ones they will never forget!

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 water

It's these times we look forward to, the fish are biting no matter where you go. Out in the gulf the mackerel are biting very good along with snappers and the shallows around the mainland and islands the snook are also biting well and accompanying them redfish and tarpon and around town there's a bite of snappers and jacks and a few mackerel. I believe the bite is just going to continue so we're very excited to get some folks out there.

    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.

    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.
