Successful day of fishing We went on the party boat at Bud N Mary’s and had a great day of fishing. Caught lots of fish- mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, mutton, porgy, strawberry grouper. And one of my sons caught a shark so he was super excited about that! The captain and deck hands are all very helpful and friendly. Always right there to assist you when you need them.

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.....

Best in the keys. Great location great ppl. Real family feel around here. The cafe Saylor Ashton’s has the best food to take out in the boat. And their cook the catch was top notch.
