It's these times we look forward to, the fish are biting no matter where you go. Out in the gulf the mackerel are biting very good along with snappers and the shallows around the mainland and islands the snook are also biting well and accompanying them redfish and tarpon and around town there's a bite of snappers and jacks and a few mackerel. I believe the bite is just going to continue so we're very excited to get some folks out there.

Hot weather temps in December has lead to hot fishing! This time of year if the weather and conditions are right, magical things can happen in the Everglades. In two days we hooked 7 fish on fly and 4 on spin. All fish were over 50lbs with the biggest close...

Fishing is getting better and better by the day, offshore the sailfish, tunas, kingfish and wahoos are starting to move in and there's still a couple mahis around here and there.
The reef and wrecks had been very active with all kinds of snappers, groupers, mackerels, yellowjacks and more.
The Bay is also a good choice when the ocean waters are a little choppy, back there the Spanish mackerels are very think, some mangrove and lane snappers and a few cobias are staring to show up.
Fishing should keep on getting better as the next few cold fronts move through the keys.

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!!

★★★★★
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.
