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 or over 150lbs.

The bite has been consistent. The mornings have produced some big Kingfish early and some monster Amberjacks mid day. Barracudas are everywhere right now. On the bottom, there have been some really big Mutton Snapper, nice Mangrove Snapper in a little shallower. An occasional Sailfish or two have been showing up late afternoon. The Mahi are way out deep, about 10 miles offshore with some small schools of big Blackfin Tuna. The Sharks were gone for the last 10 days but are now back, hanging out around the deeper shipwrecks. We caught two huge Black Groupers a few days ago...

June The summer bite is on fire! Offshore trips are producing solid numbers of mahi, with blackfin tuna and grouper also in the mix. Snapper action remains strong on the reefs. Inshore, tarpon are still active during summer nights, and we’re seeing good bites from trout, snook, and the occasional jack. Both offshore and inshore trips are producing great action—now’s a prime time to get on the water!

Quick trip to Miami over the Father’s Day Weekend!
Father, son, daughter fishing trip with Chris.
Great trip, Chris took are of all our needs, put us on fish, not everyone landed the fish we hooked up on, had Kings break us off, fun nonetheless.
Did manage to land lunch, nice 20-25lb African Pompano, great eating.
Had a Great Tine, we’ll definitely book Chris the next time I’m down visiting my daughter💪🏼🎣
We had an excellent experience fishing with Captain Chad and his mate Ryan. From the moment we got on the boat, they were professional, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome. They worked hard to keep us on the fish, gave great advice, and made the entire trip fun and enjoyable.
Captain Chad was knowledgeable and made sure we had a smooth, safe trip, while Ryan was extremely helpful and kept everything running perfectly. Their teamwork and customer service really stood out.
If you’re looking for a great fishing charter experience, I highly recommend them. We’ll definitely be booking another trip soon!
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.
BIG FISH, BIG NUMBERS, and BIG FUN!!. Chad and Ryan worked their butts off to make sure we were on fish early and often. We caught King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Black Fin Tuna, Wahoo, Tilefish and a big Golden Amberjack. truly a great day out on the water with lots of great pictures and memories to share. Highly recommended and will go again when we are back in the Miami area. Thanks Chad and Ryan, what an amazing day.
Christopher is knowledgeable and caring in his guiding a fishing trip. I really enjoyed his expertise of where and how to catch fish. He put us in the places to catch 12 different species! We also shared a lunch meal as he shared his local favorite restaurant! He taught me how to bait and fish then trusted me to do it! We had a great time on the water and I would highly recommend Chris for a fishing trip!
Great day on the water with Captain Chris. Chris is a friendly, experienced fisherman and a skilled boat Captain. He also knew a lot about the birds and fish on the water. I would definitely recommend him for a charter.
