Nate is awesome Captain …. Super Experience We had an amazing fishing trip this morning with Nate Blackburn ..post hurricane / rainy conditions could have made for a miserable fishing trip . Nate went above and beyond to make it the best experience ever !! Made sure we went to plenty of different spots to achieve our “ dinner “ goal which we did ! Our limit of snapper ! And I also caught Tarpon and Goliath Grouper
( both catch and release , protected species ) .. Great conversations . Great Boat Ride . thank you so much Nate , we had an awesome experience .. Highly Recommend!

Review for "Miss Islamorada" fishing charter: Captain and the mates worked very hard to put us on fish. Moved around a few times. Full charter and everyone had a chance to fish in the back for yellowtail- played no favorites. They may have read prior reviews; they worked really hard to make sure everyone was happy. Would definitely go again.

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.
