    Had a great day fishing with Captain Brandon. We caught a lot of fish, including barracuda, snapper, nurse and lemon shark. Brandon kept moving around to ensure that we stayed on the fish. We've fished with a number of guides over the years and Brandon was one of the best!

    First off, there was some confusion with the first Capt. we were booked with and he didn’t have us on his schedule. I called the cust service line and Adam took great care of me. He showed genuine concern and was able to get us booked with Capt. Bob. 5 stars for Adam. We enjoyed our trip with Capt. Bob. He was knowledgeable and accommodating, got us into some fish, and coached us on casting. Great guy! I would recommend Capt. Bob for anyone interested in fly fishing the flats.

    Brandon was fantastic. We went out on the coldest day of January, 2024 and we still caught fish. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable of the area and how to fish it, informative and extremely patient, especially with a beginning like me. I couldn’t have been happier the way the day turned out. I caught some beautiful Snapper for dinner and then some Barracuda and Sharks for sport. I highly recommend his services and he would be my first choice on a return trip to the Keys. Thank you, Mark Maynard

    Perfect captain for me. He was just personal enough, but didn’t talk your head off. He was focused on fishing and helped us make the most out of an overcast day.

    David R. with Eric R. of Islamorada, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Had an amazing time fishing with Robert. While Tarpon numbers were slightly lower across the board in the area, my brother and I got plenty of shots, and had fish turning on our flies all day. Captain Robert is the kind of guide that likes to move around, and work for the fish. Which is especially great since he has tons of next level secret spots for every tide and time of day! After sitting at our second spot of the day for a couple hours it got to be around 11am. We had been seeing fish in good numbers but sightings had started to slow he said: "Not sure if it's the right thing to do since we've been seeing fish... but I just feel like we've got to move. Lets go try another spot" It's that sort of mentality I love to see in my guide, humble enough to admit he can't read the minds of the fish, but he'll work his tail off to get a pattern on them rather than being stubborn and sticking with a spot that isn't producing! Thanks for an awesome day Robert!

    David I. with Robert K. of Islamorada, Florida
