Swordfishing between the cold fronts on a calm day are very productive. Last trip we caught 4 out of 6 bites. Some big ones around and one of my favorite fish to eat. They call them the gladiator of the sea for a reason! Fish on average weighing in at around 200 lbs. so make sure to bring a big cooler for your fillets.

Live bait has been a better choice, but still catching lots of Snook on artificial‘s. Also, in the same area, we are finding the Speckled Sea Trout in large numbers. They are fun fish to catch and good eating too!

We are also catching the juvenile Tarpon around the same areas. The Snook are biting pretty good you just have to get them to the boat before the sharks can get them. Overall, the keys are pretty quiet as far as tourist go, so we have lots of fishing grounds that are virtually private to us this time of year.

    Trip: Islamorada Backcountry Or Nearshore

  • ★★★★★
    We used captain Chris for a lobstering charter. We had a 6 people including my son that is 8 years old who is very intuitive and ask tons of questions. I can say if enough how great he was with my son. He is very laid back and exceed expectations on showing us how to hunt for lobster. He made sure that everyone left with lobster. diner. 10 out of 10 experience. Will be recommending to everyone. Also has a great playlist on the boat.

    Trip: Lobster Free Dive Trip

  • ★★★★★
    From the moment we stepped on the boat, it felt like we’d known Capt. Mike forever. He delivered exactly what he promised — a true backwater experience. First cast of the day? A Goliath Grouper. Moments later, a solid Snook. We had multiple hookups after that, though a few were lost in the structure (totally on us). When the tide shifted, Capt. Mike made quick adjustments and put us right back on the fish. He even gave us the choice to chase trout and reds, but we wanted Snook and Grouper — and he delivered! Per my wife’s request, he took us to see crocodiles and manatees, which absolutely made her day. On the way back, we spent time with a playful pod of bottlenose dolphins — an unforgettable bonus. If you love the idea of feeding tarpon at Robbie’s, just book a trip with Capt. Mike — you can have that same thrilling experience right at the end of your day on the water. A fantastic half-day, lifetime memories with my wife, and the pleasure of fishing with a genuinely great guy. We will absolutely book with Capt. Mike again. Highly recommended!

    Trip: Sportfishing Half Day

    Austin was a super nice guide and we enjoyed our trip. However, e had very little success as we caught only one Tarpon and then three sharks in four hours. I know not every trip is productive, but it was a very disappointing trip for what we paid.
