About Your Guide

Jamie Connell

Independent Guide 13 years of exp.

Captain Jamie grew up working as a mate on head boats and charters boats in the Northeast. Captain Jamie moved to the Florida Keys in his early twenties to pursue a career as a guide. He spent a couple years running light tackle and offshore boats out of Key West, before accepting a job on St. John in the Virgin Islands. He guided there for 2 years, targeting Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and other species. Captain Jamie moved back to the Keys to establish his own charter business so he can offer the best experience to anglers pursuing gamefish on fly or light tackle.

About Your Trip

There is something about a flats boat in the keys that just feels right. Being poled around the endless maze of gin clear flats and mangrove riddled backcountry, stalking up on unsuspecting Bonefish, Permit, and Redfish, hooking into monster Tarpon in the summertime are what Florida Key's inshore fishing is all about!

So head out to explore the beautiful tropical waters the Florida Keys are known for with Captain Jamie down in Key West to catch the bug! You'll chase bonefish and permit on the flats, and redfish, trout, jacks, and snapper back in the backcountry. Either way, Captain Jamie will be there to lend expert advice as he quietly poles you into schools of fish.

Possible Species: Snook, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Spotted Sea Trout, Bonefish, Permit, Sharks, Ladyfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Redfish, Goliath Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and others

Capt Jamie explained how, then coached me thru how to target Tarpon quite well. Followed by using his knowledge to get me on fish right away. Thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks!
