Catch 22

The Catch 22 is the flagship of Bud N’ Mary’s fleet. Custom designed by Craig Blackwell, this is the ultimate Sportfisherman! It is a 54′ vessel powered by twin 800HP M.A.N Engines. She is fast and comfortable, with a large cockpit for all the fishing space you will need. The interior is plush with A/C and all the comforts of home. The Catch 22 is captained by Scott Stanczyk. He has a 25 year history at Bud N’ Mary’s, fishing 250 days a year. During this time he has helped many captains who presently operate out of the marina today. Scott has fished and placed in almost every tournament held in Islamorada, and has appeared in numerous TV shows. He has also been subject to many fishing articles by outdoor writers who have fished in Islamorada in the past 1/4 century!

We went out on the Early Bird and had a great 1/2 day. Captain Ross and mate Steven got us several snapper, a mackerel and a barracuda. The captain's only rule is to have a good time and you will.

I looked at most of the websites prior to booking wirh Capt Rick. TOPSHELF; I got there plenty early and had breakfast at their store. Great call, biscuits and gravy large portion and very good!
It was still 30 minutes before our scheduled time to leave so I asked around the bait shop if Ricky was there yet. I was told that he had left to go get bait, usually this is done on the way to the fishing grounds taking up your fish time. I was aready pleased when Capt Ricky showed up and was ready to leave. His boat was outfitted with the latest in gear and electrionics. I really liked his trolling motor, it was tied to the GPS so when we got to site the motor kept us in perfect position for the bait to drift over the reef. I caught too many fish! Grouper types, snapper types LOTS of great eats!
Capt Ricky is a very good Skipper, he knows the waters and follows the tides very well. I am already planning next years trip and plan to book with Capt Rick @ Bud & Mary's.....

Chartered a 1/2 day offshore trip. Captain and mate very professional. Whole operation is top notch. Ordered breakfast the day before and a box lunch to take out on the boat. With the marina located 5 miles from the fishing you get a real bang for your buck. The run out took 15 minutes then we started fishing. Weather was very nice and we caught 7 fish. Unfortunately the 2 black Grouper we managed to get out of their holes are out of season until NEXT week. Saw a sailfish but wasn't interested in the live bait we cast in front of him. I highly recommend Bud n' Mary's. The Stanczyk family run a fantastic business. They take care of the customers at any cost.
