What a joy to be out on the water with Captain Cam! He's everything you want in a guide: knowledgable, patient, and good company. I recommend him to anyone considering booking a flats guide.
My best friend and i went out with Cap Cam recently for some flat fishing. He was able to find some Tarpon and Barracuda in some less than ideal conditions. Cam was great - professional and very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. We will definitely look to go out with him again in the future.
Thank you for the review Jim. I enjoyed fishing with yall and look forward to the next time out on the flats!
Worked hard to get us on fish in tough conditions. Very knowlegable and personable. Caught some fish and had a nice stop at Marvin Key.
Thank you for the review! Enjoyed being on the water with yall today.
Great time polling the flats. Found fish. Made friends. Was a great day in the keys with capt Camden.
We had an awesome time! Got into some cuda on the flats and then Tarpon showed up which was a surprise for January. Capt Cam was already prepped with a rod rigged for them and we hooked up with a great fish.
Congrats on your first tarpon! Had a blast fishing with yall.

Your captain
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!
