Capt Zach (Zoned In Charters)
3/4 Day Trip on August 23, 20253 adults

I knew going into the trip we didn’t opt for the best time of year for fishing but this was our first trip to the Keys and we were willing to take a shot. We did catch fish - bonnet heads, a big nurse shark, and several bonefish, but the tarpon bit eluded us. And unfortunately, when we hit the bridge with crabs for permit, the weather took a bad turn to the point we all decided to call it a day. But, Capt Zach was anpleaure to get to know. He was insightful, informative, but most of all made it feel like we were old friends meeting back up for a day on the water. I wasn’t on this trip as much for the fishing as I was to ensure my two adult children enjoyed themselves and Capt Zach saw to it that they did. We all had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

Everglades fun!
Full Day Trip on March 23, 20262 adults1 child

We had a great trip with Captain Zach! Spent a beautiful day in backcountry, caught a bunch of fish and even hooked up on a couple sharks! Captain Zach knows the waters and helped customize our family day on the water, shifting to target a varietyof species. Highly recommend, very comfortable boat.

Great Mother Son Trip!
3/4 Day Trip on October 12, 20252 adults

I took my 15 year old son fishing twice with Zach and we had a great time! Fishing conditions weren’t ideal, but we still managed to get both bonefish and a permit! Zach was super personable, full of information, and obviously knew what he was doing! We would definitely recommend him and hope to fish again with him soon!

Born and raised in North Carolina, Capt. Zach grew up hooking Bass, chasing Reds, and fishing for Trout in the Asheville Mountains. About a decade ago the Florida flats stole his heart, and he hasn't looked back since. The abundance of species and the explosive fishing action of the Florida Keys captures his attention every day, and he welcomes all types of anglers to come and enjoy these waters with him. Capt. Zach says, 'For me, it's a joy to watch people catch the fish of a lifetime, whether spinning or on the fly.'
