Mike was awesome! We've done several charters outside of the Florida keys to include South Carolina offshore/near shore and Dominican Republic offshore. BGS was definitely the best thus far! Mike has done his research and got us on the fish all morning long. We landed several varieties of snapper, grouper, grunts, an Atlantic sharpnose shark and a Goliath Grouper! Mike is very personable and began communicating with us shortly after we booked. Mike continued communicating with us as the wind conditions changed and provided the best plan given the circumstances mother nature provided. Also, he was willing to adapt his schedule so we would have the best chance at fish. If your looking for a low key (pun intended), unique fishing experience for two people look no further, Mike is your guy! Thanks Beamer for all the memories!
Capt Beamer works hard to find fish. This was our 2nd booking 1/2 day trip. Scheduled day windy so capt recommended date change. We agreed and move date out a few days. Received text the day before suggesting we go offshore to cast for Mahi Mahi, I agreed, this would be a new adventure. Little to no wind, so we boated out. Little to no floating vegetation, so we started back. He found a small line of vegetation so we gave it a whirl. We caught shark, Almaco Jack and got 2 Mahi Mahi. I can see how his vegetation method could catch fish, just Little availability. It was great catching different fish. So next, off we went to the reefs. There we caught snapper, Speckle Hine, Blue line grunt, parrot fish, blue tang, shark. The sun was bright all day and wore us out. Capt Beamer had more spots to try, but us northerners had enough sun and called it a day. Capt Beamer cleaned our fish and bagged them, took photos, provided adult beverages while we hung out for our fish. Capt Beamer keeps clean facilities that we utilized. Overall Capt Beamer provides all around excellent customer service and I highly recommend his service for small parties or singles who want to catch a variety of fish either back country, reef, or even offshore (wind permitting). Oh, and the best thing is my wife (casual fisher) not only caught fish, she caught the largest fish and brought home the cup! Previous trip I received the cup ( her favorite water cup) so she was all smiles that she caught the bigger fish on this trip. Capt Beamer, Thanks again for an excellent trip. Bob and Julie

Amazing. It was a pretty calm day so Capt Mark took us into the Atlantic on his 21’ Mako centre console. We were catching snappers in no time and he kept making slight position changes with the trolling motor to keep the action going. We had just about hit our limit on snappers when a HUGE torpedo shaped fish went after a grunt he brought to the boat. He sprung into action re-rigging to go after it. Long story short he found a way to get that fish on, handed me the rod and it was a 25 min battle. Ended up being a 4’ barracuda. We were using a pretty light rig but he coached me the whole way to land it. A few pics and we let it swim away. A dream come true and regardless of the trophy fish, I honestly enjoyed being out on the water with a knowledgeable and just downright nice fellow. Would rebook next time I’m down there for sure, He cleaned the fish when we got back and pointed us to Keys Fishery, a great place to have it cooked and kids got to see tarpon and sharks there! Thank you so much Capt Mark for an experience of a lifetime!
We told Captain “Beamer” that we want to catch a few eaters and would also like to try for something bigger and just have some fun! We started out looking for something big and after a bit we hooked into a huge King Mackerel. Cpt Beamer did a great job instructing me on the best way to get it in the boat and we landed it successfully! The rest of the day we spent fishing for dinner and landed a good pot of Snappers, along with Blow Fish, Shark, Catfish, and some others that we released back into the water. It was a great morning and we would definitely book with Beamer again! Happy Fishing!
Capt. Beamer was awesome! Down to earth guy that put us on the fish. Took us out to spots that he has scouted out and we caught fish. If we had caught all the ones that bit we would have been worn out! Very personable and knowledgeable about the area. Prepared for weather and wind conditions. We would recommend him to anyone looking for some fishing in the Keys!
Fished the backcountry with cap Mark for snapper and sea trout. Awesome day great fishing with one of the best guides in the area. We limited out on trout and then some and moved on for some snapper action. Parts of the day were nonstop action putting nice fish in the boat constantly. Mark is very knowledgeable, patient, prepared very easy going guy. By the end of the day it was like fishing with a friend I had know. for years. If you have the chance to make it down to the keys look Mark up for a great day of fishing.
My wife and I had an amazing time with Captain Beamer! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and worked hard so we could have a good time. We caught a ton of fish and he made sure we went home with them and provided recommendations for where to eat. If you are looking to catch fish and have some fun in the keys - book with Beamer!
Captain Beamer knows how to find the fish. He did an amazing job! We both caught fish on our first cast and it was non-stop after that. We never expected to catch so many fish and we took a bunch home with us. We will definitely fish with Beamer again when we return to the keys. Thank you, Beamer, for an awesome day!
Beamer brought my 10-year-old son and me out on the water for a day of fishing and it was an extraordinary and unforgettable day. We caught lots of fish, including 3 sharks, 2 groupers, snappers, yellowtails, and grunts. Beamer is knowledgable, kind, and attentive. We are looking forward to our next trip with him!
My wife and I originally booked a half day backcountry trip with Captain Beamer. He reached out a few days prior and asked if we wanted to go Mahi fishing instead because the weather was going to be perfect, and he would cover the difference! It was one of the best fishing charters I have been on. We ended up catching plenty of Mahi and jacks. Fishing and hanging out with captain Beamer was relaxing like fishing with a friend. Definitely will be coming back again!
