Captain Sam Baker
Captain Sam Baker is located in Islamorada and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.
Come on aboard with Capt. Sam, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use light tackle and fly fish, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Tarpon, Snapper, Snook, Redfish, Permit, and Bonefish, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.
You’ll be fishing from a 17’ Maverick boat with enough room for up to 2 anglers at any single time. It also includes an ice box.
When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip.
You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.
The price of your trip also includes complimentary drinks, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.

Tarpon
Had a great day fishing with Sam. Good guy, he knows where the fish are. He has good equimpment , and being a newby at Tarpon, was very helpful on coaching me on how and where to cast. If you want to flyfish for Tarpon, he is your guy. I plan on fishing with him again.

Fantastic Trip
Sam did a wonderful job putting us on fish under some tough conditions. We had a steady easterly wind at about 25 knots, Sam worked through it confidently. He was extremely motivated, thoughtful, and patient all day. We had a mixed bag day with three Tarpon, many Speckled Sea Trout, plus Ladyfish, and a couple of Sharks. Can't wait to fish with Sam again!

Great experience chasing large tarpon
Sam was a fantastic captain and covered a huge area to find tarpon and some bonefish. Most of the day the tarpon proved elusive, but preservation paid off with a take and run at the back end of the day, but it’s the story of the big one that got away. Nonetheless an awesome experience with captain who was extremely knowledgeable and provided expert guidance for someone sea fly fishing for the first time.
