**A Top-Tier Florida Keys Fishing Adventure — Captain Larry Wren Is the Real Deal!** If you want a fishing charter that turns first-timers into lifelong anglers, book Captain Larry Wren with First Choice Charters — you will not be disappointed! We took our kids out for a half-day trip out of Islamorada and it was an absolute blast from start to finish. The conditions were challenging — heavy sargassum (seaweed) and blazing Keys heat — but Captain Larry knew exactly how to turn it into a winning day. He set us up trolling for Mahi Mahi and tuna to keep a cool breeze flowing, and the strategy paid off big time: we reeled in tuna AND a huge Mahi Mahi despite everything the day threw at us. Captain Larry and his first mate Stephen were incredible — knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. They went above and beyond from the planning stages all the way through to the final catch, making sure the kids were involved, safe, and having the time of their lives. My kids walked off that boat with a brand-new love for fishing, which is something I'll be grateful for forever. Captain Larry knows these waters like the back of his hand, and the local knowledge doesn't stop at the dock — he even told us exactly which restaurants would cook up our fresh catch for us afterward. That's the kind of above-and-beyond service that makes a trip unforgettable. If you're looking for an expert captain, a great crew, and a true Florida Keys fishing experience the whole family will remember, look no further than Captain Larry Wren and First Choice Charters. Well done, and thank you for an amazing day on the water! 🎣🐟☀️

Thank you I'm glad you had a good time
Capt Larry and first mate Tom were wonderful to work with! Capt Larry let us know the weather wouldn’t be good for the initial day we had booked while staying in Islamorada. He was flexible for a later departure on a different day so we could drive in and go when the weather was better. FM Tom was patient and helpful teaching us how to use the equipment and the best method for the different fish. They had a method for attracting and catching the fish, which was interesting to learn. We had a great time and caught some beautiful fish! Some we kept and some were catch and release. (Yellowtail Snapper, Amberjack, Gag Grouper and Goliath Grouper) Thank you Capt Larry and First Mate Tom for a great experience and some yummy dinners!

thank you

Had a great time on the water today! Captain Larry put us in the middle of a Mahi school that was hitting like crazy! And then gave a great recommendation for a restaurant that would cook our catch for us. Such a cool experience for me and my boys. Thanks First Choice!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water, catching 4 Bonita and 10 boat limit) black fin tuna. Captain Larry knew exactly where to go to get the best results and the crewman, Tom, was beyond awesome. Overall, great, great trip! It was the kind of trip that seems to happen to other people and not to me. This time it was me so very thankful for the experience and thanks to First Choice!

thanks
My name is Captain Larry Wren and I would like to invite you to fish on the First Choice! My philosophy is simple, to supply the best boat, tackle, and not to sweat the extra expenses in doing this (after all you are worth it!). As a young child I fished Islamorada with Captain Hugh Brown and I was hooked for life. In an eighth grade report I wrote of becoming a charter captain in Islamorada. I have fished the world extensively both fresh and saltwater and have to say the fly rod should get more usage
