Shake N Bait Charters runs angling trips out of Islamorada and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. Jack is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and kite fishing, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 4 to 8-hour trips, you can target species like Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Sailfish, Wahoo, Cobia, and King Mackerel, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

Your boat for the day will be a 44’ Cavileer that fits up to 6 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with a toilet, AC, and ice box. All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing.

No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Jack runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done. This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Shake N Bait Charters.

3/4 Day Trip on July 11, 20254 adults
Had an amazing day with Shake N Bait Charters in Islamorada—caught a ton of mahi and the action was nonstop! The crew was experienced, friendly, and made the trip fun and easy for everyone. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get on the fish and have a great time doing it!

Great Day On the Water
3/4 Day Trip on April 15, 20252 adults
I took my wife and 2 kids (11&14) on their first charter fishing trip. Captain and Mate were great, patient and eager to teach. We caught over 20 fish and they cleaned them and told us exactly where to go to have them cooked up for lunch and it was one of the best meals we have ever had. Would recommend for experienced and novice, but novice should be ready to fish. Will book them again next year! KMM

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 13, 20253 adults
Capitan Jack and Dalton were great! Such a amazing first time experience. They were helpful, exteremly knowlagable, and with 40plus years of experience it was great to be able to show up and have everything taken care of and just fish. Great instruction, patience and the boat was more than large enough for us. Highly recommend!! Will be returning inthe near future.
