5 star ratingEpic bucket list fishing trip! Went fishing on the Broad Minded with Capt Mike Varney. There are no words to describe how excellent the day was!

2 keeper swords
3 dolphin
2 queen snapper
Several small, but tasty, tuna
And a couple of good smokers

Capt Mike is fantastic- he knows the fishing spots, and he’s very pleasant. All you have to do is listen to him and follow instructions and you will have an amazing day.

We were targeting Swords and made sure that we booked the trip on the appropriate days for prime swordfishing. If your target is a swordfish, please do your homework.

Highly highly recommend this boat and this Capt.!

5 star ratingAwesome Fishing Trips Our family enjoyed two half day fishing trips in March 2019, while on vacation in The Keys. Both our Captains were exceptional and we highly recommended them! The trips were out of Bud n’ Mary’s Marina. One trip booked through the captain ahead of time and one booked through the marina the day before. The first trip was with Captain Mike Walter, in search of a big tarpon to fulfill our daughter Chelsea’s Bucket List. Captain Mike immediately put us on the tarpon and Chelsea was thrilled with the fight of her 80 pounder. The second trip with Captain Dave Peck was for a variety of different species and we caught a lot of fish, which we enjoyed. But the last fish of the day was the highlight and we will remember it as “The Fish of a Lifetime” a 250 lb Goliath Grouper! It truly was an Amazing Experience! More
