Fall fishing has begun , bringing some great offshore , inshore , and near shore fishing opportunities! This is our favorite time of year . Wrecks fishing is starting to heat up with flag yellow tail, mutton's and more . Lobstering is definitely always i. The back of our minds when conditions are favorable and we had some decent luck between patch reef fishing . Offshore mahi are still around and we finally starting to see some larger sized schools of fish show up . Over all beginning of fall season has been solid and we look forward to seeing what the rest has to offer .

We are expecting a good Fall fishing season. The temperatures have cooled down, and the fish are biting pretty good. We are catching some small Tarpon on artificial baits. The Snook bite has been consistent in the Backcountry.

Had an awesome time out on the water with Christopher. From start to finish everything was smooth, laid back, and just a great experience overall. He really knows what he’s doing and made sure everyone was having a good time the whole trip. We were on fish, the boat was great, and the whole family had a blast. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip—would 100% book again.

Trip: South Florida Inshore Fishing
★★★★★
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.
