Target Species
We cater these trips to experienced fishermen and beginner anglers alike.

Depending on where we’re fishing, what we’re fishing for, and the season, we’re using a mix of artificial and live bait tactics. When you’re out with us, you’re actively fishing!
Artificial tactics vary from weedless flukes, soft plastics, and topwater. We’ll mix it up to keep it exciting and provoke an eat.
Where We Fish
We have dozens of spots from Flamingo to East Cape Sable. We choose where we want to go based on the species you want to target, the seasons, and the weather.
For Snook, Redfish, juvenile Tarpon, Trout, and sharks, we’re running about 35-45 minutes through the Everglades.
Want to bring the family? We can have you and the kids on a spot where we’re catching snapper, jack, cuda, and sharks (cuddly little bonnet heads to big black tips). This is a short 15-minute run to some epic fishing fun.
What's Included
Your captain will have our 25′ Contenders rigged and ready for your fishing adventure. The cooler is loaded with ice and water. All tackle, gear, and live bait are covered. Your captain will handle landing the fish and getting you set up for a picture with your catch. We practice safe fish handling practices and do not handle these fish out of the water.

Come prepared for an exciting day of shark fishing off of Islamorada. Come dressed for the weather. We highly recommend spf clothing and a rain jacket if rain is forecasted. Bring lunch, snacks, and beverages for your group—we’ve got plenty of room in the cooler.
