So Fishing this week has been very good the days we've been able to get out offshore. We've been catching a variety of wahoo, sailfish mahi, and then the days were ensure we've been getting some nice mutton, snappers, and some yellowtail snappers.

Spring is in full swing and there's plenty of happy fish swimming around! I love this time of year and we are just getting started. The wind has been constant but so has the fishing. It hasn't stopped us from catching bonefish, permit, snook, redfish and tarpon. Pick your poison...

Fishing is just started to pick up in South Florida. The weather has been tricky, but there are places to go and hide from the rain and still catch fish. I really enjoy teaching children about Fishing and the ocean.

Captain Pete from Black Water charters was fun and professional. A third generation backwater captain knows the secret spots and how to catch fish even in imperfect windy conditions. Capt Pete was putting us on the fish. We hooked up on tarpon, specs and a big ole 7 ft nurse shark too. Fully recommend! Urban Cowgill April 2026

Trip: Epic Islamorada Inshore
★★★★★
Had a great day with Captain Dan and first mate. We pomptly set off and had a fantastic time pulling in a Mahi and half a dozen tuna. The trip was as much as we hoped for…good weather, great crew, and some fish to be cooked at a local restaurant. Highly recommend this charter and will definitely be booking again for some other fishing if/when we make it back to the Keys. Thanks Dan and Pete!

Trip: Back Country Bonanza
★★★★★
Capt. Ron was a true professional. He called me the morning of our departure to ensure we were still interested in the fishing trip since the weather was not fantastic (high winds). He provided details about the length of time to travel to/from the fishing spot and conditions while fishing. When we arrived (earlier than scheduled departure time) he was ready and willing to get started early. He put us on the fish and showed us how to cast and catch. We caught so may fish we could not take time to take pictures (except the few attached). It was an awesome experience and hope to book with Ron next time we are in Islamorada. 10 thumbs up!!

Trip: Key Largo Bays And Backcountry
★★★★★
Took a trip out with my dad and we had a fantastic time. Captain Ken put us right on the fish throughout the entire day with ease. We were able to catch multiple species of fish steadily throughout the entire day without any lapse. In addition to catching big fish, we were able to see a nice variety of wildlife (dolphins, sharks, osprey, saltwater crocs, numerous species of birds). I would highly recommend booking a full day trip with Captain Ken. You will catch high quality fish and have a very pleasant day.

Great time with capt Justin and Drew. Super knowledgeable and enjoyed our conversations. Although we only had three bites and two catches, we still enjoyed the day in the water and were able to take our tuna catch to a local restaurant for dinner which was amazing.
