Islamorada Backcountry & Offshore
Islamorada Backcountry & Offshore
Islamorada Backcountry & Offshore and Captain Jeff Beeler welcome you to some great fishing in Florida! He was born and raised in the Islamorada area and has got over 30 years of backcountry and offshore experience. His comfortable center console is great for small parties looking for a hands-on experience. He enjoys Tarpon fishing in the spring and summer months and sailfishing with kites in the fall and winter months. There isn’t much you and he can’t do with this boat, so hop aboard and have a memorable time on the water.
You’ll be fishing from a 25’ Contender center console that can comfortably take up to 3 guests. It uses a 300 HP Suziki engine as well as all the modern GPS, fishfinder, and radio technology for quick and safe movement on the water. There’s also a livewell to supply you with live bait and an ice-box to store your fish and drinks.
You can go after Mahi Mahi, Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Blacktip Shark, Amberjack, Sailfish, Redfish, and many more. Using light tackle, you can catch by spinning, fly fishing, and even kite fishing. You’re free to choose either to keep your catch and take it home or simply release it back into the water.
Captain Jeff takes care of all the fishing equipment you’ll need as well as licenses. When the trip’s over, he’ll also clean and fillet your catch at no extra cost. Before you depart, just make sure you’ve got some snacks and drinks packed.
Come join Islamorada Backcountry & Offshore and experience a true fishing adventure!

Reef and patch fishing
Great fun and almost caught a shark
Jeff is an excellent captain. My son and I did a four hour offishore trip, and we caught a variety of fish (incl a mutton snapper for lunch) and almost bagged a shark. He had great tips along the way.

Half day - Fun Fishing
Captains Choice Half Day Trip
I chose this trip because I had my daughter and her friend (16&17). We weren’t looking for trophy fish. Just a lot of action and Jeff didn’t disappoint. He moved from spot to spot and kept us catching fish the whole time. Not only that but kept them thoroughly entertained with the Dad jokes and information about the area. I will definitely book him next time we return. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for experienced and professional guide. Thanks Jeff! We’ll see you next time we’re back.

3/4 Day Trip – Reef and Patch
Fishing with Jeff
I booked this trip for my husband and son(14) who wanted to catch Mahi-Mahi. They both really enjoyed the trip and despite some not ideal weather at sea, Jeff was able to find them some successful fishing areas and they came out with about a dozen Mahi-Mahi.

Jeff was awesome to work with, he called me the day before our trip and discussed fishing. I told him what I was looking to catch and he put me on the fish and caught everything I wanted. Would highly recommend Jeff if you're in the islamorada area and are looking to catch fish.
