Great trip despite the seas
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 11, 2025
Took a 4 hour AM trip, was wind against tide so it was a bit rough. We started out catching some yellowtail snapper then moved over going out further to get some Mahi Mahi. Cap't Bruce put us on the schoolie Mahi pretty quick, using binoculars and his vast knowledge to find them. He gave us several options of what type of fishing we could do. Even though conditions were a bit rough he plowed through with minimal bouncing and spray as possible. He is truly "Captain Easy"! Easy to be around, easy to fish with and easy going. Would highly recommend and we will be a repeat customer next time down here.

4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 27, 2025
Captain Bruce was excellent. He communicated well ahead of time as we had to work around some weather in the forecast. We had a 4 hour afternoon trip booked, but forecast was calling for high winds. Rather than going offshore, he called a day ahead and offered to reschedule for a better day. Since we didn’t have any other days to go, he suggested we go in the gulf for calmer waters. That meant about a 45 minute ride each way, but we had 2+ hours of great fishing where we went. We had a family of 4 (11 and 13 year old kids). Captain Bruce was easy going and spent time talking to the kids. We have a little bit of fishing experience, so he quickly showed the kids the basics for how we were fishing today and we were quickly off. We probably caught at least 30 fish, and a wide variety (mackerel, snapper, catfish, trout, and more). We kept 6, and he cleaned and bagged them for us and gave us a few suggestions where to take them for dinner. Start to finish, it was exactly what we were looking for, have some fun, catch plenty of fish to keep everyone excited, and leave with a little bit of dinner. If I come back to the keys, I wouldn’t think twice, I would book with Bruce again.

Awesome trip
6 Hour Trip on February 18, 2025
We started out netting our bait fish which was a cool experience in itself. We then went to a shipwreck and caught a few fish right away, after drifting over the wreck a few times we had caught many fish. We then went out for a cruise to try and catch a wahoo, unfortunately unsuccessful but that's fishing. We set up over another ship wreck and had caught another fish we had to release, missed some bites and finished the day out trying one more time for a wahoo again unsuccessful. Once we got back captain Bruce set up our fish for pictures, cleaned and bagged all of our fish and gave us a recommendation on where to take some to eat and the rest to a company that is packaging our fish and shipping it home for us. Hands down the best fishing experience I've had! We had 4 of us and did a 6 hour trip, worth every penny!

Another great fishing trip with Easy Does it!
6 Hour Trip on January 19, 2025
I visit Islamorada every year with my family, and I always make it a point to book a trip with Bruce at Easy Does It Charters. I've likely gone fishing with Bruce at least ten times over the years. His communication is excellent—from booking the trip to providing details on where to meet and even giving us a weather update a day or so before the trip. On the day of the trip, Bruce was at the dock with his boat, all ready to go. All we had to do was step on board. His fishing gear was in great shape, and we were set for the day. Our first stop was his live bait spot, where he skillfully netted fresh bait. After a few casts, we had a full live well, and we were off. Mother Nature decided to give us a bit more wind than we expected, but Bruce ensured we still had a productive day. The three of us caught one almaco jack, one king, four mutton snapper, and one bonita. We took our catch over to Lazy Days for them to cook up for dinner that night. I'm looking forward to fishing with Bruce again the next time we're down in the Keys!
