Great day on the water with the family (kids10,21). We caught fish non stop the whole time. Mainly Yellowjack between 3-10 lbs. Those fish can really fight. We also caught Black Grouper, Snapper, hooked a 30 lb tarpon and jumped twice before it spit the hook, and I got to reel in a 7 foot Lemon Shark to end the day. There were also a couple of other fish which I can’t remember the names. Not bad for a family of inexperienced fisherman.

Captain Jared was incredible. He was patient with our inexperience and had us catching fish left and right. I am still amazed how Jared had us catching Yellowjack in one place and then went about 5 miles further out in the ocean and hooked a shark as well. I can’t imagine having a better fishing trip than the one we had and Jared was definitely the reason for our success.

Captain Steven took amazing care of my wife and I, we were very happy with our trip! My wife didn’t even fish but had more fun and saw more than she did in our snorkeling/dolphin trip all while I was reeling in all sorts of different species!  Captain Steven made sure to call ahead of time to ensure he did his very best to give us the best chances to catch those great eating fish but also some of the more fun fish to catch. In total we caught well over a dozen fish and had an amazing experience! Thank you Captain Steven!

The best fishing charter we’ve ever been on! Capt Steven was very friendly and you knew right away that he knew where to go to put us on fish. We even asked to do some lobstering on our 3/4 trip. Spent 3 hours fishing and 3 hours lobstering. Capt Steven said “the best way you’re going to learn is to do it”, and he jumped in with us! This family ran business is the one I’d highly recommend! Ended the day by taking the filleted fish to Hogfish bar and grill on Stock island. They cooked it all to perfection and couldn’t even eat it all. Thank you to Reel Easy Charters!

It was a great way to spend 4 hours of our trip getting out on the water and experiencing keys fishing at its finest. Our guide was awesome and he was very knowledgeable about the area and answered every question we had. We hit the shallow waters for some Yellow jacks and then got into some huge nurse and lemon sharks. Several 7-9ft bull sharks were lurking as well. After this we went to several other spots in search of Baracuda but were unsuccessful. Winds were up a bit and storms were also off in the near distance all morning. From there we went to a little honey hole shipwreck where we got into some black grouper and hooked up with a tarpon right before the end of the 4 hours. Just the variety of fishing that we got to do in a short 4 hours was awesome. Yellow jack for lunch at the Hurricane hole marina restaurant to top it off was the best. Top 3 eating fish I’ve ever had hands down. I’ll be back for sure and would recommend this charter to anyone novice or experienced. Thank you Captain Jared for a great day on the water!

Loved every minute of our half day morning trip with captain Hugh.  Boat was fantastic and the fishing was even better.  I was a bit worried prior to our trip that our family of 5 would be too much for the boat and capt to manage, but plenty of space and Hugh was very attentive to all of us.  He had us on the fish, expertly avoided a few thunderstorms that popped up and answered plenty of our rigging and random fishing questions.  Cooler was full of excellent yellow jacks and memory bank full for the family.
Thanks Hugh and Reel Easy charters- we’ll be back!
