Fishin’Pole Sportfishing
Fishin’Pole Sportfishing
Get ready for some premium fishing on a top-of-the-line boat and with a tournament-winning crew in South Florida, the Bahamas, and the Gulf of Mexico. Take on huge pelagics like Wahoo, Sailfish, Marlin and Mahi Mahi, or deep drop for Grouper, Snapper, and even monster Swordfish.
You'll be fishing aboard a 33' Albamarle sport fishing boat – a hardy vessel purpose-built for taking on the biggest and best the Gulf has to offer. Fully-restored in 2016 and powered by twin 350 HP Caterpillar engines, she comes armed to the gills for some awesome fishing. With GPS, a fishfinder, outriggers, a choice of tournament-grade lures or live bait fresh from the tank, you're in for a productive day wherever you decide to fish.
In the winter, you'll specialize in kite fishing, while in the summer you'll go trolling. Do whatever you can to catch delicious Mahi Mahi and majestic Marlin, as well as others. Try an impressive array of different fishing techniques depending on the species you want. From deep dropping way down to the murky depths where Swordfish rule, to jigging for Grouper and Snapper, with the obligatory choice of light and heavy tackle. Whatever your style, these guys pack nothing but the best.
All trips come with licenses, live bait, and a complimentary cleaning and filleting service for anything you want to take home at the end of the day. The whole of the Florida Keys is your oyster with Fishin'Pole Sportfishing.
Just set aside a date, grab your sunglasses and sunscreen and join captain Arek on the water!

Jeff Dockx5.0VerifiedCapt. Arek put us on the fish
Full Day Trip on June 26, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Arek and First Mate Jesse were fantastic. Very welcoming and friendly. The seas were rough, but they were able to find the yellowtail and mahi, and we loaded the boat. Probably one of the best charter trips any of us have had. We will be back for tuna and highly recommend them.

Full Day Trip on March 30, 2026 • 2 adultsThe captain arek and first mate jessie did not disappoint! they put us on some monster mutton snapper, had great music playing, kept the live bait on the hook, even in rough water, they kept it entertaining.

Half Day Trip on April 17, 2026 • 4 adultsHalf day trip. limit on tuna and a couple of Mahi Mahi. Great trip will definitely be back
Steven Desmond5.0VerifiedFull day trip
Full Day Trip on June 12, 2021 • 4 adults • 1 childI've done about 35 private charters 10 in the keys alone over the last 10 yrs or so, this was by far the best here in the keys and in the top 3 over all, capt and his mate know their shit, put us on fish right out the gate all day long...I can also say every by listening to the chatter on the radio that every other boat on the water private or charter struggled. Highly recommend that anyone looking to book a fishing trip that they charter this boat
Dan JananskyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFull day 4/1/21
Full Day Trip on April 1, 2021 • 2 adultsCannot say enough about Captain Arek and the Fishin’pole team. Had us catching nonstop from start to finish. Used many different methods to catch a variety of species. They really seem to enjoy what they do which made the trip even more exciting. If you want to catch fish and leave with lifetime memories there’s no need to look anywhere else. Will 100% be returning to fish with Captain Arek anytime we’re in the keys.
Robert ChandlerRepeat angler4.3VerifiedFull day trip with Capt Arek
Full Day Trip on January 6, 2022 • 3 adultsCapt Arek and Austin work really well together as a team, providing expertise on best locations. They are good companions at sea. Austin, especially, knew his fishing and worked non-stop through the trip. Arek was very passionate about catching a sailfish and got us into position four times… four times we hooked a sailfish but four times it slipped its hook. We were unlucky. We did catch and land Snapper, King Mackerel, Shark, and Bonita.
Catherine Murray5.0VerifiedGreat Day, despite the swells.
Full Day Trip on April 28, 2021 • 2 adultsRough water. We wanted to try for Tuna and went 2 miles short of the tuna grounds in the Gulfstream. Captain Arek and 1st Mate Jason tried like hell to find us fish, but it wasn’t to be had. Tried so hard, we battled 10+ Foot swells and stayed out longer than all the other commercial boats. Got my first dolphin, thoroughly enjoyed our day. We will be back!

Its easy with 5 star anglers!😎
Captain Arek and Jessie were amazing. we had a great day. We caught black fin tuna and maui. Arek kept us the fish as Jessie kept the rods baited. Tuna was slow at first but after about an hour we got ours then movied to the maui. We will be coming back. Thank you both.
