Live Action Sportfishing 2 invites you to team up with Captain Justin And Captain Ryan Carter to explore some of the best fishing found in the Florida Keys! A decorated sport fisherman, Capt. Ryan has received honors such as 'Most Releases,' 'Most Tarpon Releases', and 'Guide Achievement' in the Key West Fishing Tournament. He's got the skill and know-how to get you on the fish and keep you there.
You'll be fishing from his 24' Pathfinder bay boat that runs on a single 250 HP Yamaha engine. This fishing machine will get you to the fishing grounds before you know it, as it can reach a top speed of an impressive 40 knots. Outfitted with all the necessary safety gear and a full array of navigation electronics, she's got everything you need for a productive day out.
Although Tarpon, Permit, and Cobia are his specialty, Captain Ryan has mastered all of the species that inhabit the inshore and backcountry waters of Key West. Live Action Sportfishing 2 encourages anglers of all skill levels and the captain's true passion lies in sharing his love for fishing with both children and adults.
Capt. Ryan will provide you with all the necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle for the trip, and will also clean and fillet your catch afterward. He'll always have some water on the boat, but you're more than welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks. If you want to get a taste of fishing in paradise, come on over!

Best fishing trip ever‼️💪👍
Half Day Trip on April 27, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Ryan was awesome! He made sure we caught tarpons & mutton snappers‼️. Tarpon fishing was in out bucket list to do✅. Captain Ryan position led his boat where a school of tarpons passed, majestic “Silver Kings”, once my husband got one hooked I was able to capture some pictures of them lealing high out of the water, shaking its head to throw the hook💪
Captain Ryan boat is clean with nice expensive rods & reels. All of his equipment is neatly maintained. First time w/these Silver Kings & Captain Ryan gave us great instructions to land a fish 🎣🐟. Book him now, you won’t be disappointed 🤩👍

March fishing trip
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on March 10, 2026 • 4 adults
We were in Key West for my wife’s birthday. When I asked her what she wanted to do, she chose a fishing trip. When I booked Captain Alex asked what I wanted to fish - I simply replied something big. Well, he delivered. We were on the water for no more than 30 minutes and we quickly caught a snapper. Moments later the fun started, we had a solid hit so Cheryl grabbed the pole and started a 40 minute fight with tarpon. It was an epic battle. Alex estimated a 120 lb fish.
After that we went out and caught a half dozen or more snapper. Alex filleted and we had an excellent feast to end the day. The best part, it was great conversation with Alex. He made the experience perfect. An epic day. These guys are the best.

What a day!!!
3/4 Day Trip on August 23, 2025 • 4 adults
Captain Justin, was fantastic from the very start. My wife and I have little to no fishing experience, and he guided us every step until we were comfortable. He’s young and we were a little leery at first, but don’t let that fool you. When he took us to the spot, he told us what we where going to catch, and every time we caught exactly what he told us. From snapper to shark, barracuda, grouper, trigger, and more. If the hole was dead we would move to the next. No time was wasted. This was the first time in the keys and our experience with Captain Justin couldn’t have been any better. We will be back, not only for the island adventures, but to go fishing with Captain Justin again. We highly recommend spending time on the water with Live Action Sportfishing 2.

Great day of fishing
Half Day Trip on July 9, 2025 • 3 adults
We had an awesome day fishing in the Florida Keys. Captain Justin was super knowledgeable and really made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
We started the morning catching some solid mutton snapper, then things got wild when we hooked into a couple of big lemon sharks. To top it all off, we ended the day with a beautiful tarpon that gave us an unforgettable battle. Just an epic way to finish the trip.
Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend this guide if you’re looking to get on the fish and have a great time doing it. We’ll definitely be booking again next time we’re down here.
