Hello fellow anglers, I am Captain Ron Howell and I am 56 years old and I have been fishing throughout Florida my entire life. I have been fishing professionally as a recreational fishing Captain for over 35 years in South Florida waters. I am a native of South Florida and have fished such hot spots as Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and the Everglades. I currently fish the waters of Flamingo and Islamorada and know these fishing grounds well.  

I currently hold a 100 ton masters captains license and I am currently on my 6 issuance. I love to fish regional and local tournaments and I have been fortunate enough to win several tournaments that include names like the Redbone Tournament, the Super Fly Tourney, and the Take Stock in Children Tournament which I am particularly proud to win and be a part of.

When I am guiding I provide a completely friendly fishing atmosphere for every customer and especially for families and children. I believe when a child has a good fishing experience on his or hers first trip it can go a long way in molding them into a future angler which is a great and clean activity for any child. Fishing teaches patience, sportsmanship, and conservation among other things plus it is a ton of fun and I love nothing more than to see the smiles on a kid’s face when they catch a fish.

3/4 of a day fishing with Captain Ron Howel

Captain Ron took care that we will have non-stop action. Unfortunately due to weather conditions the tarpoons were not biting but we got many other good sizes fish. We released around 90% and the rest was served as lunch in a local restaurant. Great day!

Half day with Capt Ron

Great time fishing with Ron , the wind was horrible but Capt Ron kept us on the fish . He was very patient with my wife who never fished before.. Very easy going and a wealth of fishing knowledge, would definitely book him again !!!

Half Day Trip with Captain Ron

My wife, daughter and I had a great half day trip with Captain Ron Howell.  I would highly recommend it.  Captain Ron asks what you are interested in going after and took us where we needed to be.  He is very good with beginners and has tips for those more experienced as well.  We took our fresh catch to 2 restaurants after our half day.  We went to Angler and Ale and had a good meal, but Captain Ron recommended Lazy Days and the fish Lazy Days style was the best fish our family has ever had.  Please do yourself a favor and take your fresh catch to a local restaurant and have them cook it for you.

We caught mangrove snapper which the captain cleaned and filleted for us.  In addition, we caught a 55 inch baracuda which took 15 to 20 minutes to land on the 20 lb test we were using.  We caught a bonnet head shark, a 100lb skate, and numerous other species.

In the future, we’ll be coming back for a 3/4 or full day with Captain Ron and I recommend you do the same as well.
