Terms to Protect Your Experience
This is a hands-on fishing experience.
You cast, hook, fight, and land your fish.
Not for "Meat-Hunters"
If you're looking for a "meat-haul" and will judge the trip by the dollar value of fillets: this is not the right charter for you.
For Fun-Seeking Anglers
If you want a fun, honest, action-heavy Islamorada trip with a captain who works hard and keeps things relaxed: you're in the right place.
Building Trust
You'll earn trust here before the boat even leaves the dock.
