Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) on April 28, 2025
We did a four hour trip in the morning for Tarpon, Bonefish, and anything else that would bite. Cam put us on a lot of Tarpon and we even got into some Permit. But, the most memorable for us was catching some whopper Barracuda. If you simply like catching fish that fight, the Barracuda on light tackle, for us, were a blast. Hint for the guys, if your wife says she wants to practice cast to see if she can cast farther, don’t let her have the damned rod. She’s sure to catch the biggest fish of the day, if you do.

Captain Cam did his best to put us on the Tarpon but they just weren't in the mood today. First half, no luck so we were on the move to find them. Cam was determined and that's what counts on the tougher days. Next stop on another flat and there she was. I made the correct cast and she hit it but threw my artificial on the first jump. Better luck next time. Thanks Captain we still had a great time.

Half Day Fishing Trip (PM) on January 4, 2025
Had a great time fishing with Camden. He went above and beyond to meet my special request and got me hooked up on a species I'd never caught before, whish is impressive. His boat and equipment are clean and well maintained. He's a great conversationalist and has away of making one feel at ease. I'll definitely fish with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a great time fishing the FL Keys.

We had the best time with Captn. Camden! He kept us fully engaged and focused on the fish. Covered a lot of flats and was not dissappointed! Excellent time!

Cudjoe Key, Florida, United States
Born and raised in GA, I have had a fishing rod in hand since I was around 3 years old. I spent most of my time through highschool and college fishing lakes and rivers in Georgia and nearby states but I would always make at least one trip a year down to the salt waters of Florida. After college I went out west and bounced around to different jobs and states until I decided that I wanted to give guiding a shot. I headed up to Alaska and cut my teeth guiding from drift boats on the Kenai river. Between season I came down to the Florida Keys (to thaw out) and fell in love with the place and the complex puzzle that this fishery presents. After working at a local tackle shop and doing a little deck handing on the side, I got my captains license and started Held Fast Charters. I am truly blessed and living my dream!
