Join Capt. Galon Johnson aboard the Go Time, a beautiful 26ft World Cat, equipped and ready to show you why Islamorada is known as the "Sportfishing Capital of the World"!

Being a long time Florida Keys resident and gaining the knowledge and know how, Capt. Galon and the Go Time are sure to show you a great time out on the pristine waters of Islamorada.

Whether you want to catch yellowtails on the Reef or head Offshore for that trophy fish to put on the wall, Captain Galon will put you on the fish!

IT’S GO TIME!

Capt. Galon is also the designer and inventor of the patented flying fish lure, Islamorada Flyers, which was locally created and is handmade in the USA!

Go Time Charters offers Half Day, 3/4 Day and Full Day private fishing charters out to the local reefs/wrecks and offshore for larger pelagic species.

Depending on the trip or customer’s wishes, the captain will target a wide variety of species available in the local waters. You may want to target Mahi or Tuna, possibly try your hand in many of the Snapper species in the Keys or bottom fish for Red or Black Grouper. If you’d like to enjoy your daily catch for dinner, Capt. Galon will be happy to clean and fillet it for you free of charge.

Onboard, you’ll also find a large cooler with plenty of room to store all your snacks and drinks to keep yourself energized through all the fishing! Capt. Galon’s boat is conveniently located at Robbie’s Marina in Islamorada.

The last thing to remember is to bring your sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and camera!

Captain Galon H. Johnson is originally from Jackson, Tennessee. He received his first fishing license on the day he was born, he was born with the heart of a fisherman and saltwater in his veins! He has been fishing his entire life, from freshwater rivers and lakes in Tennessee, to the crystal clear waters of the Florida Keys. After reconnecting with an old friend from back home, Captain Galon decided to embark on an adventure and move to the beautiful Florida Keys! Captain Galon moved to Islamorada and starting working as a mate on the Capt. Michael Party Fishing Boat out of Robbie's Marina. After learning from some of the best Captains and Mates in the Keys about the different locations, Captain Galon decided to get his Captains License and head offshore! After spending many years working as a Mate and a Captain, he has gained the knowledge and experience to show you why Islamorada is known as the "Sportfishing Capital of the World"! Fast forward to today, Capt. Galon is still enjoying his passion for showing anglers of all ages how to fish the Florida Keys. Whether you want to catch yellowtails on the Reef or head Offshore for that trophy fish to put on the wall, Captain Galon will put you on the fish! Capt. Galon Johnson is also the proud designer and creator of Islamorada Flyers Lures!
