About Your Trip
Step into the shallow, clear waters of Islamorada, FL for an unforgettable backcountry fishing adventure with Captain Bryan. Whether you're looking for a quick half-day outing or a full-day pursuit, Captain Bryan offers 4, 6, and 8-hour private trips designed to match your schedule and fishing goals. You'll fish aboard a top-of-the-line 24’ Yellowfin bay boat powered by a 300HP Yamaha engine, capable of cruising at speeds up to 60 knots. With seating for up
to 6 guests, this sleek 2021 vessel is fully equipped with GPS, Fishfinder, VHF radio, bait tank, trolling motor, multimedia system, and even snorkeling equipment. A second station on the boat allows for optimal sight fishing in the pristine waters of the Florida Keys, Everglades, and Florida Bay.
For the 4-hour trip, you’ll enjoy an action-packed introduction to Islamorada’s inshore species. Captain Bryan will guide you to target fish like Snook, Redfish, Grey Snapper, Tarpon, and Tripletail. This short trip is ideal for beginners, families, or anyone looking to make the most of a morning or afternoon on the water.
The 6-hour option gives you more time to explore the backcountry and hook into a wider range of species. With additional instruction from Captain Bryan, you’ll be able to refine your skills while going after Redfish, Snook, Tripletail, Grey Snapper, and Tarpon. This trip is a great middle ground for anglers wanting a bit more time to roam without committing to a full day.
For serious anglers, the 8-hour full-day trip offers the best opportunity to cover more water and pursue the region’s most exciting game fish. You’ll target Barracuda, Crevalle Jack, Permit, Spanish Mackerel, and Tripletail. Captain Bryan’s knowledge of the area and flexible fishing strategies—combined with top-tier equipment—make this trip your best bet at landing a trophy.
Every trip includes rods, reels, tackle, lures, bait, and fishing licenses. Captain Bryan also provides high-quality fly fishing gear including fly lines, leader tippets, and fly boxes. Catch cleaning and filleting are included at no extra charge. Just bring your snacks, drinks, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and weather-appropriate clothing for the day.
From the calm shallows of the Everglades to the winding mangrove channels of Florida Bay, fishing with Captain Bryan offers a world-class backcountry experience in one of the most beautiful and productive fisheries in the country. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, this is a chance to fish the Keys like a local.
