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.

Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) on May 5, 2025

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.

Fishing with Camden

VERIFIED

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.
