Bout Time Sportfishing
Islamorada has a fish with your name on it, so let Bout Time Sport fishing help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Tj is prepared to put you on fish.
These waters are known for Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Sailfish, Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Bonito, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! You'll target your catch by spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Tj can also show you kite fishing.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Capt. Tj runs a 42' Hatteras sport fishing vessel with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% or more tip is customary, based on your trip experience.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
A few items to bring include sunblock, a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Bout Time Sport fishing is just a click away.

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 26, 2025 • 4 adultsBout Time Fishing Review If you're looking for a reel-y good time, Bout Time Fishing is the catch of the day! Captain TJ and Captain Don took our group out for a fin-tastic adventure, and we hooked over 30 yellowtail fish! 🐟 When we got back to the dock, they turned into fish-cleaning ninjas, filleting our catch with the precision of sushi chefs. The best part? Their jokes were so funny, we almost fell overboard laughing! If you want a fishing trip that's full of laughs, great catches, and a boatload of fun, Bout Time Fishing is the way to go!
