Native Son Charters
Native Son Charters
There’s no backcountry like the one you’ll find around Florida Keys. Native Son Charters is here to take you on an adventure around Islamorada, which you can explore on one of the world’s finest skiffs, a Hell’s Bay Marquesa.
You’ll be fishing alongside Captain Cory, who’s been catching fish on these waters his whole life. He landed it all - from offshore sea monsters and nearshore bottom feeders. Now, he’s taking you on a quest where the main prize is monster Tarpon!
The amazing skiff you’ll be fishing from is 18’ long and accommodates up to 3 guests. She’s powered by a brand new 115 HP Yamaha engine and reaches the speed of 40 knots. The boat features Garmin navigational electronics, a live bait tank, a cooler, and professional fishing equipment. If you decide to swim for a bit, you can also use snorkeling gear from the boat.
Meet the captain at Bud N Mary’s and start your journey. Your main targets may shine like silver but they’re worth gold - Tarpon, Snook, Speckled Trout, Bonefish, and Spanish Mackerel. You can also catch Snapper, Redfish, and several types of Shark.
Capt. Cory does it all! He’ll cover your fishing license, prepare everything you’ll need to catch fish, and even clean your catch after the trip is over. You only need to bring your sun protection, some snacks, and drinks.
Hop in for a day of fun for the whole group. Native Son Charters awaits!

Fishing with Cory
Started off using a casting net to catch bait fish which was cool. Initial fishing was slow due to time of day and the tide change but Captain Cory kept it interesting and active so we didn't get bored or discouraged. He then moved us onto this nice barracuda and then we landed about 8 tarpon and had 4-6 shake the hook. Great action and tremendous experience with my daughter. Would highly recommend this trip. Thanks Captain!

We took a half day morning trip with native sons charters and couldn’t be happier we did! Capt Cory took us right to a fishing hole after getting some bait and it was nonstop action for hours. My wife landed a 20+ pound grouper and several other monsters. Would 110% recommend!!!
