Capt Tony & Travis were awesome! Tony got us out on the water before most had loaded their boats and got us right on fish (Yellow Tail Snapper). We landed 36 and could have limited out, had it not been for a nuisance shark and barracuda. Travis was patient and a great teacher since we have never went out for Yellow tail. This trip was with my father (for his 80th b-day) and my 2 brothers in law. My entire family enjoyed an amazing meal after the trip of the freshest YT in town! Thank you, Tony, Janice and Travis!
Captain Tony, Travis and Alicia were the best crew we’ve had thus far - out of all of our deep sea trips! we maxed out on Mahi (first time ever) and had so much fun catching them! Travis and Alicia kept our rods baited and fish on, to the point that our arms were tired from reeling! Captain Tony and Travis were both very knowledgeable and explained everything along the way. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!
well, it was an awesome day! Your arms will definitely be tired tomorrow. We appreciate you choosing us for your sport fishing trip and we can’t wait to have you back again. Thank you for your awesome 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟review.  thank you Capt., Tony and Travis. 
we had an amazing time they had us out and to the first spot quick we were on fish as soon as they tossed out the lures. hooked up to blackfin tuna pretty much immediately. second spot we cause so many Mahi Mahi. The Captain and his crew were amazing. They worked so hard during the entire trip and helped educate us and showed us new techniques to fishing, and they were super helpful and all knowledgeable. Best fishing Charter in Islmorada!!
Captain Nagel and his deckhand Travis got us into fish when several other boats returned to port when their clients became seas sick. We had a great yellow tail morning, and a tougher afternoon dealing with 4-5 foot seas and alot of surface grass impeding our live bait trolling. We moved alot and found place to catch tuna, mangrove snapper (which we returned to the ocean) and a small tuna and an enourmous King Mackerel...Watching a highly professional work was a joy. Highly recommend this Captain (Tony Nagel and the Single Reels II crew, Travis. They taught us all how to effectively fish in a washing machine and they continually changed tactics to make sure we had a terrific time...Great boat, great people and a really great time.
Captain Tony and first mate Travis were outstanding. We hooked into yellowtail on the reef and, even though it was a tough day overall with very slow trolling and bottom fishing for all the charters on the water, they worked nonstop to put us on fish. They were hands-down the best crew out there—super friendly, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. Travis was great about explaining what was going on and making sure everything was easy and relaxed, while Captain Tony clearly knew the water and kept adjusting the plan to give us the best possible shot. Even on a quiet day, they made the trip enjoyable, professional, and memorable. Highly recommend booking with them—we’ll definitely be back.
