Meet Captain Jose Rodriguez – Your Guide to Unforgettable Fishing Adventures

Born and raised in the heart of Miami, I've spent my entire life on the water—fishing everything from offshore and inshore to hidden freshwater gems across South Florida. With years of local experience and a true passion for fishing, I'm here to share the thrill of the catch with anglers of all ages and skill levels.

Whether you're looking to chase Snook, Tarpon & more on a peaceful inshore saltwater trip, reel in Peacock Bass and Largemouth in our freshwater lakes & canal systems, or experience the excitement of a nighttime Lobster bullynetting adventure, I've got you covered.

All trips are run aboard my 21ft Key West Bay Reef—a modern, spacious, and comfortable vessel equipped with the latest technology to help us find fish and maximize your time on the water.

As someone who's great with kids and loves seeing families make memories, my top priority is ensuring every guest has a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience. Whether it's your first time holding a rod or you're a seasoned angler, I'll tailor the trip to your pace and style.

Let's get out on the water and create some epic fishing stories together!!!

Best trip ever - Jose is the man!
Half Day – Inshore Bay Adventure on April 5, 20263 adults

This was an absolutely amazing trip. I went with two of my buddies and we all cannot stop talking about how much fun we had. Jose is an amazing fisherman, but more importantly, he is a super nice guy who cares about making the trip a great experience. We caught about 30 trout and hooked a massive tarpon. Was one of the best fishing times of my life. Thank you Jose!!!
