There's a fish with your name on it in Islamorada and A Fishing Guru will help you catch it!

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Tarpon, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Wahoo, Sailfish, and anything else that bites. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Capt. Pete operates a 26' Pathfinder center console that holds up to 5 passengers. It has all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.

made the best out of the day
4 Hour Trip – Offshore (PM) on August 15, 20262 adults

sounds like we came during a rough part of the year in August. waters are warm and fish are out deep in cooler water. long story short we didn't catch as much fish as I was hoping but pete and Dylan did their absolute best to make the trip as good as possible ended up catching a few snapper that got eaten at the boat by barracudas and caught 2 mahi and even a shark for my fiance. overall would recommend and come back during a better time of year

Offshore trip to remember
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 7, 20262 adults

This offshore trip with my 16yo son was amazing. Pete and his first mate, Ryan, were helpful and fun to be around. Although we’re expeienced anglers back in the midwest, We learned a lot about unique techniques of deep sea fishing. We caught some amazing blackfin tuna, skipjack tuna, and almaco jack. Ate some here and packing some for home. Pete is super detailed about fishing techniques great at explaining. Thanks for making a fun ans worthwhile day. Rob

Epic fishing trip in back country Florida Bay
4 Hour Trip – Backcountry (AM) on August 19, 20262 adults

Snappers first, caught limit quickly then on to catch some trout. Petite wife hooked a 200lb Tarpon on 30lb test line as we watched this beautiful fish jump out of water 3 times before breaking line. Wife said “help me, help me” LOL. Captain Pete was awesome, knowledgeable and made trip fun and adventurous.

Reported catch:
Tarpon
Mangrove Snapper
Speckled Trout

Amazing Experience!
6 Hour Trip – Backcountry on July 12, 20263 adults

Talk about someone that knows what they are doing! Captain Peter walked us exactly through what we were going to catch before we even left the dock. He proceeded to deliver on what he promised. Took care of all of us on the boat, a mix of beginner to advanced level, with extraordinary skill and patience. We are already planning to book again with Captain Peter & A Fishing Guru. Highly recommended, book now!

Exceptional Day on the Water with Captain Pete!
4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on July 11, 20262 adults

We had the absolute best time fishing with Captain Pete! He put us right on the fish, and we caught our limit of both mangrove snapper and trout. The boat is fantastic—clean, comfortable, and perfect for a great day out. Captain Pete himself is awesome, super fun to be around, and really knows his stuff. If you want an amazing, productive fishing trip, he is definitely your guy. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back!
