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.

Not a great day of fishing, but....
Full Day Trip on January 15, 20264 adults
Weather, seagull intrusions, wind and waves and only one king mackerel boated -- but that's fishing. Captain suggested that we may want to change to a half day because of conditions. We agreed to this and got reimbursed by Fishing Booker for the half day from the full day. So all good! Mate Dalton worked his ass off in tough conditions and Captain Jack was great as well. Happy to recommend Shake 'n Bait for your next charter.

Captain Jack and Dalton showed our family an amazing day. The boat is fast, modern, and EXTREMELY comfortable. The captain and crew were great to talk to and put us on the fish. Highly recommend and very family-friendly. We would definitely book again.
