Fishing Reports

5 star ratingMy 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!

5 star ratingI used Bud N Marry's marina to get on the Miss Islamorada Charter to do some reef fishing recently. It was a rainy day when we got there. I was excited we were still going to departure and be all day out. The rain shortly stopped. The ocean was calm and the fish were rambunctious. Captain Ben was true gentleman, so courteous, so nice and extremely caring. He was making sure that everyone hooked at least one good sized fish for dinner. Even though he is the captain he worked his tail off, even making bait ball for those of us in the back of the boat catching snappers.He took us to a great spot, even encountered some bull sharks.

Bring your own drinks and snack, none of it its provided for you. You will have great fun and you will go home with a bucket or cooler of fish. They provided an array of bait and they will help you every step of the way. The bait doesn't promise that you will catch fish but at least they will die trying for you. Great experience, gorgeous day to be out, turquoise waters and alligator reef beautiful as always. Nice boat, stable and smooth ride to the reef and back.

5 star ratingBud N Mary's set us up with Captain Mike Basset and we had an awesome morning of trout fishing. Windy day so the Captain recommended the trout fishing and the 3 of us hit our fish limit in under 4 hours. Captain Mike filleted our fish in ten minutes and we had the most unbelievable lunch. Highly recommended.
