We've had an excellent Kingfish bite on the reef with some sailfish also snapping well when we are able to head off shore on longer trips. We are able to find mahi-mahi wahoo and a few blackfin tuna mixed in looking for offshore paligics Please book a three-quarter day.

Kite season is here! The water has cooled down as well as the air temp making ideal fishing conditions. Combine this with the prevalent East wind pushing debris and the Pelagic fish close to shore. The Sailfish have started to show up as well as the big smoker Kings. There have been random Dolphin close to shore with the occasional Blackfin Tuna in 200-350'. Bonita Tuna have been plentiful in shallow around 50'. The Cudas are everywhere out to 400' and we have been getting them deep on live baits. We are still getting Goliath Grouper bites although we haven't landed one in two weeks. We fought one for 2 and a half hours the other night only to get cut off on the shipwreck. Big Bull Sharks have been around, we released 4 last week up to 400 pounds. I love this time of year, it's not hot, it's not cold, the Pelagic fish are close to shore and next month the Swordfish bite is gonna get hot. Swordfish can be caught year round but the best time is October through February, I can't wait! We still have a couple openings for the rest of the week and weekend. Let's catch a Monster!

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

★★★★★
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!

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.
