Plenty of great fishing and visuals during the winter down here in South Florida! Redfish and bonefish have been plentiful and large goliath grouper stepping away from the shadows looking for some sun. The snook fishing is also picking up so come on down and check it all out for...

After a back-to-back cold front and a pretty nasty die off with water temps in the 50's, things have finally started returning to normal. Reefs and wrecks turned out a solid mackerel bite, a decent yellowtail bite, and plenty of muttons in the shallower reefs . Even had some surprise sailfish, and nice wahoo as well.

Bayside has been very productive on the mangrove snapper front with some nice-sized fish for the box and plenty of action as well.

Father and son duo, Bill and Jackson, caught several over slot redfish and a few black drum on a recent trip to Flamingo in Everglades National Park. Kenny Brogan from Jumping Branch, WV came down to get out of the cold and caught some quality backcountry fish, all on artificial.

We've been catching 5 miles from shore. Those are just some of the fish we caught. The inshore fishing has been pretty good!

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.
