Fishing Reports

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

5 star ratingGreat 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!
