There’s a fish with your name on it in Big Pine Key and Sandbar Somewhere Charter will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Joseph can tell you all about the local fishery.

Mangrove Snapper, Great Barracuda, Lemon Shark, Bull Shark, Blacktip Shark, Mutton Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Yellowtail Snapper, Lane Snapper, Spotted Seatrout,  and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go.

For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Feel free to take home some of the fish you catch within size and bag limits. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home to eat. Now that’s dinner!

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your vessel for the day is a 22’ Sundance saltwater fishing boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Some essentials you’ll want to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. 

If you have any questions about fishing with Sandbar Somewhere Charter, you can send Capt. Joseph a message down below.

Couldn’t find a better captain!
4 Hour Trip on November 19, 20254 adults
Captain Hoyte was a joy to spend the day with. His knowledge of not only fishing but local history of the area was outstanding! The excellent hospitality and the nonstop fish on the line made this charter above and beyond all others. I would 100% recommend that any angler looking for local flare, a great laugh, and nonstop fish on the hook book a trip with Captain Hoyte! 2 part review. My brother and I brought our lifelong friend down for a private charter for his bachelor party. I’m not much of an angler but I could fish with Capt Hoyte any day. The man is a wealth of knowledge and skill he was the captain, first mate historian and a friend on this charter. The 3 of us couldn’t ask for a better memory and tally of fish. We all caught countless breed and number of snapper on top of. Several other species my buddy capped it off with a 7’ lemon shark.. I’m over here hoping marriages don’t work out so we can go back.

Capt. Hoyt was a Hoot!
4 Hour Trip on August 21, 20252 adults
We spent a fabulous morning with Capt. Hoyt on the Keys Flatz. Even though Hurricane Erin was churning her way up the Atlantic Coast, the seas off Summerland Key were just as calm as could be. Capt. Hoyt took us to several Honey Holes where we boated various Snappers and grouper. Hits on multiple barracuda. Exciting morning. The Capt. was knowledgeable and entertaining during the entire outing. Will definitely return. Thanks Capt. Hoyt.

Absolutely! Here’s a review you can customize as needed: ⸻ 5-Star Fishing Trip with Captain Hoyt Highly Recommend! We had an absolutely amazing day on the water with Captain Hoyt! From start to finish, everything about the trip was professional, fun, and downright unforgettable. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and Captain Hoyt knew exactly where to go to put us on the fish. Not only was the fishing fantastic but Captain Hoyt was also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a total beginner, you’ll feel right at home with him. He shared great tips, explained the gear, and made sure everyone had a chance to reel in a catch. What really stood out was his passion for fishing and love for the water—it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. You can tell Captain Hoyt truly cares about making your trip a success. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience, book a trip with Captain Hoyt. You won’t be disappointed—we’re already planning

Awesome fishing day!
4 Hour Trip on June 2, 20253 adults1 child
We did the morning 4 hour fishing trip and we had a blast. Captain Watkins was very informative and did a great job getting our lines back in the water quickly after putting new bait or fixing lines. We brought our 11 year old son and he was very nice and patient with him and showed him tips on how to reel the fish in properly. Minutes later he reeled in a huge red grouper!! My father in law reeled in a Goliath grouper! In total we ended up taking home 11 fishes between snappers and grunts. Would definitely be back to enjoy another fishing day! Thanks captain for providing us a great experience!

SO knowlegable!!
4 Hour Trip on January 18, 20264 adults
Captain Hoyt was so knowledgeable about all things fishing in the lower Keys area, but also gave a ton of other information about the history of the different islands. He was so patient and encouraging as we got the “hang” of catching our target species. Fun and laid back. We’ll for sure book with A Sandbar Somewhere again!!
