About Your Guide

Bobby Brown

Outfitter 43 years of exp.

Growing up at a marina and becoming a Captain at age 18, Capt. Bob has literally lived most of his life out on the water. Even after 30+yrs as a Florida Keys fishing guide, Capt. Bob has a huge passion for fishing! Giving the customer a high-quality experience on the water every day is his mission. Capt. Bob has fished up and down the eastern seaboard including the entire FL Keys and South Florida area over many years as a guide and tournament fisherman. He has the experience to put you on the fish, and keep you safe out on the ocean. He has been guiding in the Marathon area exclusively for the past 30yrs and is a live bait, light tackle expert. Capt. Bob has been a consistent top performer in Tarpon, Sailfish & Dolphin tournaments and most recently guiding his anglers to a first and second place finish in the Marathon Habitat for Humanity Mother’s Day Dolphin Tournament. To quote Capt. Bob: “To see the thrill in the person’s eyes when they hook that ‘bucket list’ fish of a lifetime, or to show young people the wonders of the ocean for the first time and plant the seeds of outdoor life in their minds are the main reasons I still love what I do after all these years”.

Captain Bob has been fishing the Florida Keys since the early 1970’s as a kid with his father on vacations. Then came to the Keys and started his business in 1980, logging 200 to 300 fishing trips per year. Captain Bob has completed numerous bad weather rescues of other boaters over the years.

Captain Bob has also been an outdoor writer for several magazines and newspapers, done radio and television shows most recently on the Outdoor Channel’s “School of Fishing” weekly show. Capt. Bob is also an experienced, courteous and hardworking guide who wants to put you on the fish of a lifetime!

Bobby and Jason were extremely knowledgeable about fishing in the FL Keys. They worked diligently to get us fish on but it was not to be on this trip. As it has been said that’s why they call it fishing and not catching. It certainly wasn’t due to a lack of effort from the crew.

Captain Bobby and mate Jason worked really hard to find us some sharks. The weather wasn’t great but we hooked a whole bunch of fish and we did get one 100lb nurse shark that my daughter enjoyed battling for a solid half an hour

Just got back from Tarpon charter. Had great time, great spots to fish and saw hundreds of tarpon in the area. Capt Jason was a super captain and put us on the fish throughout the charter. Very knowledgeable, helpful and gracious. Would reommend this charter service to others and will certainly consider their services next time we're in the area.

Mid November 2024

End of the Year brings great fishing on the Reefs, last of the Mahi and still Wahoo. Sailfish have already been caught in Marathon, so sight casting to Sailfish surfing the waves is always a Blast!! Great size Grey (Mangrove) Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper and Large Muttons are showing up on the Reefs and wrecks. Amberjack are always a great battle on medium gear and a bonus catch while on the wrecks. We've had some windy days mixed in throughout the week, so plan on a back-up day, just in case, for a chance at a better day on the water. Dates are filling up quickly for our 2025 Sailfish Season, so be sure to book early!!

Late July 2024

reef and Mahi fishing is Red Hot, same as the temperature!! lol Seems all of Marathon is SUPER slow right now. I have Captains calling me everyday looking for charters to do. Grey Snapper spawn is winding down but still active. Mahi limits almost daily. I heard a Sailfish was caught yesterday.
