Islamorada FL, United States

Fun Florida Keys Fishing has it all for you. Based out of the nationally-acclaimed World Wide Sportsman/Bass Pro Shop in Islamorada, Capt. Larry will find you fish in the productive bays & inshore waters with ease, as well as heading oceanside to the nearshore. Or even head north to engross yourself in the magnificent nature of the Everglades National Park’s backcountry as Capt. Larry has the necessary government approval to fish with you there.

With over 19 years of experience, Captain Larry Sydnor is recognized as a consummate guide in the Keys & as a verified Captain, he maintains all required credentials, licenses & permits with a $1,000,000 of commercial marine insurance to be entrusted with your safety. Capt. Larry is a USCG Master Captain, a member of the National Association of Charter Boat Operators, the Florida Guides Association & the FKFGA.

Step aboard Capt. Larry’s 2019 22’ Pathfinder, powered by a dynamic Yamaha 250 HP outboard engine. The boat is fast, stable, & has been customized particularly as a fishing craft, with raised gunwales for greater security. She’s spacious & is perfect for fun fishing families & avid anglers.

Try spinning, trolling, or jigging, while fly fishing enthusiasts just need to let Capt. Larry know 24-hrs in advance to prepare the rods for them. You’ll be fishing for a range of fantastic prestigious game fish, as well as trying to bag yourself a delicious treat should that interest you. Snook & Tarpon can keep you on your toes, or a range of groupers, snappers, & others will keep you busy throughout your trip.

Your bait will be kept live in a 15-gallon pitch well or 2 cavernous wells on the casting deck, meaning you’ll never run out of bait when it gets crazy good. Trips include fly fishing equipment with customized reels - advise your retrieval, along with conventional gear, tackle, and lures. With bottled water provided, just bring any food & favorite beverages as a cooler & ice is provided. You won’t be disappointed.
