Speckled Trout, Redfish, Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Snook, Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Lemon Shark, and more are in the cards if you come at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to spin using light tackle.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Capt. Travis welcomes you aboard a 24' Shallow Sport flats boat with space for 5 passengers. It has all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, 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.

All you need to bring is sunglasses and a good attitude. Waters will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles as NO GLASS is allowed on board.

Your trip with A Fishing Guru is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Great trip!
Half Day Trip – Backcountry (AM) on August 5, 20262 adults1 child

I took my 13 year old Nephew and Brothrr in Law on a back country trip and was very happy with Captain Travis! He was very patient with my Nephew and took his time to provide instruction to him and help him if needed throughout our trip. Upon arriving to our first spot it was game on! My Nephew hooked into a nice Black Drum and then to follow a nice Red Fish! Unfortunately the tax man (sharks) came and collected those fish, however, my Nephew was having the time of his life! we caught several other species of fish and overall had a very memorable trip! I would highly recommend Captain Travis and I would definitely fish with him again!

Two Incredible Days on the Water with Capt. Travis
Half Day Trip – Backcountry (AM) on August 1, 20262 adults

My wife and I booked two trips with Capt. Travis, one reef fishing trip and one backcountry trip, and both exceeded every expectation. We caught an incredible variety of reef snapper, and on the backcountry trip we both landed our personal best snook. It was a fishing experience we’ll never forget. What really set Capt. Travis apart was his professionalism and ability to adapt. The conditions changed throughout both trips, but he always had a plan and consistently put us on fish. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable and having a great time from start to finish. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time fishing the Keys, I can’t recommend Capt. Travis enough. If you’re looking for a captain who works hard, knows the water, and genuinely wants you to have an unforgettable day, book with him. We’ll absolutely be back the next time we’re in the Florida Keys.

Reported catch:
Snook
Mutton Snapper
Redfish
Yellowtail Snapper

Fun backwaters catching with Guru Travis!
Half Day Trip – Backcountry (AM) on July 9, 20262 adults

My 16 year old son and I had a great time fishing with Travis who was very knowledgeable of the Everglades area where we caught plenty of mangrove, snapper and black drum, Sheepshead and snook as well. Some action was had with tarpon too! Even though we’re experienced anglers back home, Travis gave us a lot of insight on how to fish these areas. Would definitely recommend fishing guru and Travis. Tightlines-Catching-Not just Fishing! This was our 2nd trip this week with Fishing Guru

Nice time with Capt. Travis
Half Day Trip – Backcountry (PM) on April 28, 20263 adults

fishing a bit slow, but we caught mangrove snappers, hit a school of snook, sharks in the area making it a bit hard but captain was very attentive and patient. we hooked a spinner shark which was exciting. Trip best for friends or family. Easy communication with Travis, he was prompt and had plenty of bait before trip started so we had plenty of time to fish. Nice boat, fully stocked amd plenty of room would book again! Highly recommend

Everglades Light-Tackle Experience
Full Day Trip – Backcountry on January 22, 20262 adults

Captain Travis provides an absolutely amazing light-tackle fishing experience. From the start, he’s extremely responsive and takes the time to ask what you want to do before the trip. He truly tailors the day around your goals and skill level. The Everglades is an absolute playground, with tons of light-tackle species available year-round. His boat, Shallow Water Sport, is a fishing machine—cruising around 35 mph in as little as 6 inches of water. Honestly, the ride through Everglades National Park alone was worth the cost of the trip, even if we never touched a rod. The boat is very roomy with a stable hull, allowing multiple people to fish comfortably at the same time. Captain Travis genuinely enjoys putting his customers on fish, runs hard when it counts, and isn’t afraid to try new techniques or locations to make the day successful. Most importantly, he teaches along the way—sharing the techniques and styles that have worked for him. Unless your a seasoned very you will leave a better angler than when you arrived. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, passionate captain who delivers a top-tier Everglades fishing experience, you won’t be disappointed. 🎣
