About Your Trip

Welcome to Islamorada, the Sportfishing Capital of the World, where crystal-clear waters, stunning scenery, and some of the best fishing on the planet await. Whether you're an experienced angler chasing a trophy catch or a first-timer looking for an unforgettable adventure, Captain Thomas is ready to put you on the fish. With years of experience fishing the waters off the Florida Keys, he knows exactly where to go to keep the rods bent and the adrenaline pumping.

Heading offshore, you’ll target some of the most sought-after species in the ocean, including Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Swordfish, Sailfish, Marlin, and Wahoo. Whether you're trolling, kite fishing, or sight casting, these powerful fish will give you an incredible fight and a serious thrill. If deep dropping is more your speed, you'll fish the deeper wrecks and ledges for Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack, which are not only a blast to catch but also some of the best-tasting fish you can bring home. Along the way, you might also run into African Pompano, Barracuda, Kingfish, Tilefish, Tripletail, and more—every trip is different, and you never know what might show up on the line.

You'll be fishing aboard a 36’ center console, a federally permitted offshore fishing machine equipped with top-of-the-line gear and the latest electronics to help locate fish quickly and efficiently. Captain Thomas offers a variety of fishing techniques, including live bait fishing, trolling, heavy tackle fishing, topwater action, and more. He’ll tailor the trip to match your experience level and fishing goals, ensuring everyone on board has a fantastic time.

All rods, reels, and tackle are included, and at the end of the day, Captain Thomas will clean and fillet your catch so you can take home a fresh seafood feast. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks, and drinks (beer is welcome, but no glass, please), and don’t forget your favorite playlist—Bluetooth music is available to set the vibe while you cruise the open water.

This trip is kid-friendly, making it a great option for families looking to enjoy a day on the water together. And if the weather doesn’t cooperate, don’t worry—you won’t lose your deposit.

Fishing in Islamorada is an experience like no other, and trips book up quickly. Whether you’re looking to battle a high-flying sailfish or fill the cooler with delicious snapper and grouper, Captain Thomas will make sure you have an unforgettable day offshore.

Capt TJ is the bomb. He put us on fish constantly and we limited out on mahi (good size). We had 4 rods+ blowing up consistently and first Mate Bill kept everyone organized. Best Father’s Day ever ! Capt TJ we will be back for sure.
