Amazing Fishing Trip!
Full Day Trip on February 16, 2026 • 4 adults

We booked a full day with Tackle Center, with Captain Charlie Scobel, who I highly recommend. The boat was perfect, Captain Scobel was amazing! He had everything set up for us and we had the perfect fishing day with him. From catching the live bait to kite fishing for sailfish, Captain Scobel was outstanding and my family of 4 could not have asked for a more amazing day of fishing. 7 sailfish hooked, 4 brought to the boat, it was amazing. Highly recommend Tackle Center for charters. It was a bucket list day for us and Charlie could not have been a more amazing Captain! Thanks Captain Scobel!

    Cpt Charlie's knowledge of the area, the different fish species, and how to catch them, all of the different techniques he has up his sleeves are priceless. We caught 7 species of fish including (for my wife and I) the coveted black fin, and king mak. King makeral makes the best ceviche in the world! Last year, because of Cpt Charlie's help I was a celebrity in Islamorada for a month (haha) as he helped me catch a 127lb yellowfin. Look at Tackle Ctr web site.
