Capt. Max Gaspeny absolutely loves fishing in Islamorada! He grew up in North Carolina and his uncle Vic had been a guide at Bud n Mary’s for decades and one of the best tarpon fisherman around.

End of October Fishing Report!

My boyfriend and I went on an all day fishing trip on the Early Bird with Captain Ross and Justin. We had a fantastic time! Water was a little choppy but Captain Ross made it feel like it was calm. Justin kicked ass at setting us up to catch fish, very quick and efficient! They knew were the spots were! Very friendly and fun. On the ride back to the doc, we both fell asleep. What a great day! Thank you to Bud and Mary and Ross and Justin for making a great memory for us!

Great fishing for the kiddos Great half day reef trip this morning.

Two boys 6 and 7. Wanted a fun day with plenty of action and a good crew. Found everything we were looking for!!!
Captain is a family man, and extremely nice. First mate could not have been better with the kids.

Not the best of water conditions but the A/c cabin was perfect for my green faced wife and the boys when they needed a rest

We fish a lot and can tell you that a great Capt and crew can make or break ur day

Today was a great day.

I’d recommend this crew!

Fabulous Captain and Sportfishing Facility Captain Nick Stanczyk is an absolutely fabulous guide and captain. He knew where to fish which put onto a giant fish very quickly. Then he never took his eyes off the line and kept the boat properly placed for the duration of an 8 hour plus fight. In the end, we landed a record size swordfish of over 757 pounds. As experienced captains ourselves we cannot say enough positive things about Capt. Nick, his boat or and his crew. In addition, Bud n Mary’s knows how to treat fisherman of all levels. The Galley Girls Cafe located at Bud n Mary’s puts together great early am breakfast in plenty of time to make the boat departures and their lunch boxes are excellent as well. If you are looking for great day trips or a trip of a lifetime Capt. Nick Stanczyk and Bud n Mary’s is the place to go.
